The WTT Doha Challenger officially began on January 9 in the men's singles, with world No. 1 Fan Zhendong and rookie Wang Chuqin still seeded. WTT Doha Men's Finals Fan Zhendong was beaten clean by Wang Chuqin in the final, and whether Fan Zhendong can successfully save face this time has caused heated discussions. But before the game, Fan Zhendong's abnormal behavior triggered a reverie, Fan Zhendong did not train with his teammates, but chose to play with him abroad, what is the purpose?
The WTT Challenge officially started on January 10, and the national table tennis players are in intense pre-match preparations, the main purpose of their training is to maintain their own feel, the second is to better adapt to the new competition environment, and the most important thing is to conduct targeted training according to their opponents' playing style to determine their skills and tactics during the game.
Fan Zhendong will play South Korean player Lin Zhongxun in the first game, why would he find Lin Yunru as a sparring partner? I think that now Fan Zhendong has regarded Wang Chuqin of national table tennis as his biggest opponent.
Taipei's Lin Yunru, nicknamed Xiao Xiaolin, is a silent assassin who usually speaks very little, but his style of play on the court is very sharp. In addition, he also has a nickname: the low-profile version of the big head, Wang Chuqin.
His serve is also a must, but there is not much controversy, because the action is very standard, but he is also born with a talent for serving and is very hidden. And Lin Yunru's twisting and pulling is also world-class, and the whole Taiwan can twist and pull, which is on par with Wang Chuqin and can even overturn Wang Chuqin directly when he is in a hot state. He, like Wang Chuqin, has a very strong backhand, often the kind of fighting style of play, daring to get started, and overall, the style of play is very similar to Wang Chuqin.
This time, Fan Zhendong quietly avoided his teammates and chose to train with him, and his head coach Liu Heng was also watching carefully during training, it seemed that he wanted to check and fill in the gaps for Fan Zhendong. I think it's very purposeful. Now Fan Zhendong has begun to pay attention to Wang Chuqin, and the mainstream of table tennis battles in the future will change from the dragon and fat duel to the fat head duel.
