In the men's finals, Wang Chuqin swept Germany's Qiu Dang 4-0 and successfully reached the final. The reason why this game was able to win smoothly was due to Wang Chuqin's very high concentration in the game. As the No. 1 shading king in the world table tennis world, Wang Chuqin's serve is very threatening, and Qiu Dang is very passive in the service link in this game. If you don't have the upper hand in the hair extension, Qiu Dang's offensive routine in the first three boards will not be able to play.
It can be said that Wang Chuqin successfully destroyed the opponent's offensive rhythm in the first three boards, precisely because the hair extension link was completely passive, and the opponent's single game score did not exceed five points in the first three games, and there was no threat at all. Wang Chuqin did a good job of the fast connection of the first three boards in this game, and still maintained a high concentration even in the ball holding session, because his speed was quite fast, and he was not taken away from the rhythm of the game like Liang Jingkun and lost his position continuously.
Wang Chuqin learned the lessons of his previous teammates and did a good job in the defense of the first three boards before finally ushering in a big victory. However, in the fourth game, although Qiu Dang fell behind 1-4, he quickly brought a forehand with a backhand, and chased the score to 3-4 with a forehand and a backhand. Wang Chuqin changed the line with his forehand, and the serve was reversed to throw off the score 6-3.
After that, Wang Chuqin expanded the score to 9-5, Qiu Dang received the serve and rubbed the long backhand, and the serve was reversed to chase two points. Wang Chuqin won the fourth game 11-8 by serving and returning the serve, in fact, Wang Chuqin was directly scored by the opponent in the last two service rounds, indicating that the competitor gradually adapted to his way of serving.
The biggest advantage of Wang Chuqin's game is that he was not easily led by the opponent, and when the opponent wanted to chase points, he was not conservative, but played according to his own offensive rhythm. After Wang Chuqin reached the final, he successfully defended his half, because all the foreign players had been defeated by him.
Wang Chuqin's opponent in the final was Fan Zhendong, and this time Fan Zhendong also swept his teammate Lin Gaoyuan 4-0. The reason for this kind of score is that Fan Zhendong strengthened the speed connection and did a better job in the connection and defense. Lin Gaoyuan's tactics in this game are not clear, he originally had a speed advantage, but this game seems that Fan Zhendong is standing more forward, and Fan Zhendong defeated Lin Gaoyuan in Lin Gaoyuan's way.
Fan Zhendong insisted on not retreating, so the attack was very oppressive. In this way, Lin Gaoyuan was forced to retreat continuously, and as soon as he retreated, the quality of the attack decreased. It is estimated that Lin Gaoyuan did not expect that Fan Zhendong would beat himself by attacking near Taiwan, if Fan Zhendong still adheres to the previous mode of pulling back in the middle of the platform, this game will be very stale.
It was after changing the game strategy that Fan Zhendong ushered in a big victory, and it was the kind of big victory that had not been seen for a long time. Lin Gaoyuan couldn't find a good offensive rhythm in the first three games, and it was precisely because Fan Zhendong disrupted the offensive rhythm that he couldn't see the possibility of reversal. In the first three games, Lin Gaoyuan has not found a good way to limit it.
In the fourth game, Lin Gaoyuan led 3-1 at the beginning, strengthening the connection between the near and the table. Fan Zhendong hit a forehand in the middle to chase the score to 3-4, and then brought a forehand to 6-5 with a backhand to overtake the score. After Lin Gaoyuan called a timeout, he kept attacking Fan Zhendong's forehand position to overtake the score 8-6.
Fan Zhendong pressed the backhand with a continuous forehand, and the forehand quickly led a straight ball to overtake the score 9-8. After that, Fan Zhendong strengthened the line change of his forehand and won the fourth game 11-9. In fact, Lin Gaoyuan was able to always overtake the score in this game, which shows that he is also strengthening some active changes, and he is attacking Fan Zhendong's forehand very quickly.
It's just that Fan Zhendong constantly used his forehand to limit Lin Gaoyuan's backhand position, so that the sharpness of Lin Gaoyuan's backhand attack was suppressed. Fan Zhendong still won on the initiative change, because he knew that Lin Gaoyuan defeated Ma Long, so he didn't dare to take it lightly in this game, otherwise Lin Gaoyuan would really be able to reach the finals.
Only by pressing Lin Gaoyuan's position with a sharper attack can he limit the opponent. In this game, Lin Gaoyuan's active fighting in the first three boards was also very threatening, but they were all prevented by Fan Zhendong. It can only be said that Lin Gaoyuan has indeed tried his best, and Fan Zhendong's offensive stability and game concentration are too high, which is an important factor in winning the game.
If Fan Zhendong continues to perform so well, he will also have the upper hand in the final against Wang Chuqin. New year, new atmosphere, Fan Zhendong also hopes that a champion will end the old year and usher in the new year. Wang Chuqin's current match against Fan Zhendong is also very interesting, because his connection speed is also very fast, Fan Zhendong must face this kind of fast player attack, and he can't play too evenly.
It can be said that as the finals progressed, Fan Zhendong gradually got better, from being dragged into the tiebreaker by the opponent in the first game, to the second and third games in a row to keep clean sheets. The former Fan Zhendong seems to be back again, this is the performance of the world's No. 1. Although the competitors in the final are also very strong, as long as Fan Zhendong insists on playing mainly with me, he can indeed win the final championship.
This time, both Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have only one way to win the championship, and the two have just been blocked in the semifinals by Lin Gaoyuan in the doubles match and missed the final. In order to make up for this regret, both Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin can only make up for the regret of the doubles match if they win the championship in the singles competition.
But the final is also a one-way street, and the two players who reached the final have the strength to win the championship, and no matter who wins the championship, I believe the fans will be able to accept it.
