On January 3, Beijing time, the first person to go out of the national table tennis in the Doha men's finals was officially announced, and the super genius Lin Shidong lost to Qiu Dang of the German team in an upset, and was eliminated in the first round of 2-3, and this result is probably something that everyone did not expect.
In this WTT Doha Men's Finals, there are a total of six superstars in the Chinese national table tennis, which is the same as the follow-up Star Challenge, and Lin Shidong is one of the young players who are relatively speaking, and is very much expected by the coaching staff, after all, although he is relatively young, Lin Shidong has always been considered the successor of Fan Zhendong, shouldering the heavy responsibility of carrying the banner of the post-05 generation for Chinese national table tennis, and he is only 18 years old now.
But I never expected that Lin Shidong, a highly valued young player, would collapse in a round in this competition and lose to Qiu Dang. In this game, Lin Shidong was hit by the opponent continuously, 9:11 and 8:11 lost two sets in a row, he played badly in the first two games, but fortunately he adjusted next, 11:7 and 11:2 also won two games in a row, and the two sides drew 2-2. In this case, then the 5th game is very crucial, but we really didn't expect that in the 5th game of this game, Lin Shidong played too badly.
He fell behind 2:7 in the deciding game, chasing 6:7 and only 1 point, but then was beaten by Qiu Dang to a 10:8 lead and lost the match point, and the last key point Qiu Dang won directly, eliminating Lin Shidong to complete the promotion. Before he could win 3-0 against Qiu Dang, but now he was directly eliminated by a 2-3 elimination, Lin Shidong's recent form is indeed getting worse and worse, Lebrun, Hayasuke Togami and Qiu Dang were all his subordinates who were defeated, but now they all won him.
With Lin Shidong's exit, he also became the first person to be out of the national table tennis in this competition. He was the only one of the six main forces who was eliminated and went home, and he could have joined Liang Jingkun, but the best opportunity was wasted by him. At the same time, with his exit, it means that there is only one national player left in the next 3/4 semi-zone, Liang Jingkun, who previously defeated Lin Yunru to complete the promotion.
It seems that there is still a gap in strength between these marginal main forces and the absolute core of national table tennis, it could have been that there were 6 Chinese national table tennis players in the quarterfinals, but now there can only be 5 at most, and after wasting this opportunity, it is still unknown whether Liu Guoliang and the coaching staff will give him more opportunities for singles performance. Originally, he and Kuo Man's doubles were very strong, and the coaching staff was also giving him a chance, but he couldn't catch it himself and didn't cherish it, so he couldn't blame anyone.
Of course, with him being eliminated now, Wang Chuqin's God-given opportunity in the second half of the district has come, and Wang Chuqin did not have an advantage before beating Lin Shidong. With him out, the only potential opponent for Wang Chuqin to kill in the lower half of the zone is Liang Jingkun, and his difficulty in reaching the final is a little less, and he has a better chance of achieving excellent results.
