With the quarterfinals of the Doha Finals officially confirmed, I found 7 facts that I have to say.
First of all, we must admit that the overall strength of national table tennis is too strong. Whether it's technical, tactical or mental quality, they are at the top level in the world. For players from foreign associations, it is undoubtedly very difficult to shake the hegemony of national table tennis in a short period of time.
Secondly, Fan Zhendong is a player who is good at playing against the wind. In the game, he is always able to find opportunities in the face of adversity and turn the tide of the game.
Third, although Malone is 35 years old, his desire to win is still strong. His professionalism and tenacity are deeply admired.
Fourthly, as an African player, Aruna's performance is really admirable. With his hard work and talent, he has made his mark on the international stage. In the first round of the finals, he was able to defeat the world's fifth Hugo 3:2, which is really a good performance and deserves everyone's praise for him.
Fifth, although Lin Shidong has a high talent, his skills are still very immature and need to be constantly improved and tempered. The defeat in the first round of the finals also shows that his key ball mentality needs to be improved and optimized.
Sixth, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's personality seems to be difficult to change, and he always likes to yell loudly in the game, which may be a game strategy of his, or it may be due to his personality.
Finally, after Liang Jingkun lost his qualification for the Chengdu World Cup team event, his spirit seems to be more full. In the first round of the finals, he was very decisive in his blow to Lin Yunru, showing his determination and strength.
