At 6 o'clock tonight, the WTT Doha men's finals were played by the national table tennis world No. 1 Fan Zhendong against Slovenia's Darko, both of whom are good at backhand, but Fan Zhendong's backhand is more balanced, and finally Fan Zhendong won the game with a gap of 3 points.
At the beginning of the first game, the opponent had a strong backhand and immediately gave Fan Zhendong a dismount, and the beginning was the attitude of daring to fight, and he could use his backhand to burst and draw absolutely no forehand, so that he got the lead at the beginning, and once the score was 5-1 ahead. Later, Fan Zhendong's unpredictable serve also played a big role, scoring directly on several consecutive serves. The score gradually approached, but when the opponent was leading 9-7, two long balls directly exceeded Fan Zhendong's imagination, and he directly lost two points in a row and lost the game 7-11.
In the second game, Fan Zhendong no longer dared to control his opponent with continuous swings, which would only attract the opponent to attack directly. He also returned to his old job, receiving the serve and playing together, which quickly paid off. However, the score of the two sides is still deadlocked. In the end, Fan Zhendong was more experienced, and the key point was a serve, and a light pull successfully won a point 11-7. The two sides were drawn. This small victory is Fan Zhendong clenching his fists tightly and cheering himself up, which can be seen to be very difficult.
In the third game, Fan Zhendong started strongly, and opened the situation with a backhand in the case of the opponent's opening two points, and in this game Fan Zhendong strengthened his hands, and did not dare to continue to short control the European Games champion. In the end, they won the game easily again 11-7.
The fourth game is the focus of the battle, the two sides played all the way to 17 draws, and both of them called a timeout in this game, which can be said to be very thrilling when watching. But after 17 draws, Fan Zhendong actually served out of bounds and lost one directly, which he regretted very much at the time, and then the opponent ended the game with a strong backhand, and the opponent won 19-17.
The fifth game was even more intense, the two sides fought completely, and the initiation force did not leave a way back for themselves at all. Fan Zhendong started a good game directly 3-1, but at the critical moment, the opponent was not afraid, and as long as Fan Zhendong's ball was a little higher, he would violently exert force. And the opponent's ability to hold each other is very strong, Fan Zhendong can't take advantage, and the opponent leads 7-5 in the tiebreaker. This situation is very unfavorable for Fan Zhendong. But Fan Zhendong didn't give up, he had a big heart, playing board by board, and finally chased 4 points in a row, leading 9-7, and the opponent rushed Fan Zhendong directly back at the critical moment, and finally won the victory with all his might, 11-8.
After watching the five-game game, it was really thrilling, many times I thought that Fan Zhendong was going to upset again, his ability to hold on to each other was gradually adapted to others, and it was easy to restrain others after many swings, but he also improved, his service changes often annoyed the opponent, and he was more clever, so even if he won by three points, this must reflect Fan Zhendong's strong dominance!
This time, Fan Zhendong refused to cause an upset and directly pointed at the champion.
