In the early morning of January 19, after fierce competition, the table tennis WTT Doha regular season men's singles quarterfinals list was released.
Among the four world champions who participated, Zhuang Zhiyuan and Karlsson were unfortunately out, and Falke was also eliminated when he entered 8 of 16, and only Germany's Boll advanced.
Isn't it strange that I didn't see the figure of national table tennis?
Because the Busan Team World Table Tennis Championships will be held on the 16th of next month, the national table tennis will only leave Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu to participate in this mixed doubles competition.
The rest of the team returned to China to rest and prepare for the Busan team P.
The two mixed doubles pairs also lived up to expectations, beating their respective opponents in the semi-finals.
Let's take a look at the round of 16.
Top Half: Pol Knife is not old
In the early morning of January 19, Lin Yunru ushered in a fierce battle with German player Firus.
In the WTT Doha Stars Tournament some time ago, Lin Yunru once held the match point but was counterattacked by Liang Jingkun, and this time he is bound to show his skills in the singles court.
Facing Firus in the first round, although he narrowly won the first game, he easily crushed his opponent 11-7, 11-3 in the next two games and advanced to the quarterfinals with a score of 3-0.
In the next round, he will face Slovakia's Wang Yang, and a chipping battle is bound to make people look forward to it!
Bol, on the other hand, comfortably beat Iran's Alamiyan 3-0 in their previous outing.
The 42-year-old German veteran is not old, and he is also the long-term world No. 1 player back then, who has survived several generations of national table tennis and is still the face of the German team.
Thinking about it, there is no successor to the German team, and the talent of national table tennis is really envied by others.
The quarterfinals will face off against South Korea's Lee Sang-so, and this German-Korean battle will be a highlight of this competition, and we will wait and see who will have the last laugh!
The lower half: Zhang Benzhi and the limelight
Tomokazu Zhangmoto, the Japanese teenager blasted a stunning 11-1 deficit in the last round, beating Singapore's Feng Yaoen with a clear advantage.
Zhang Ben's form has declined significantly in recent years, and since he defeated the main force of national table tennis in a row and became the youngest open champion, countries have increased their research on Zhang Ben.
The Japanese team has always had a tradition of pulling seedlings to help them grow, with Miu Hirano and Misei Ito in the past, all of whom were at the peak of their debuts, and once they were thoroughly studied by their opponents, they quickly became everyone's attention.
Therefore, Zhang Ben, whose basic skills are not solid, is not as threatening as before after research, and he has lost his arrogance in the game, and the fans have also been clean.
The latest world ranking has been surpassed by mainland teenager Lin Shidong and fell out of the top ten in the world.
His next opponent will be France's Simon, who narrowly beat India's Achanta 3-2 after five games in the previous round.
This matchup will be a battle of skill, who can get the head start when it matters most?
Another key battle in the lower half of the district is the showdown between Lim Jong-hoon and Hayasuke Togami.
Lin Zhongxun encountered some difficulties in the previous match, but finally won 3-1 against Chinese Taipei's Feng Yixin. He will face Hayasuke Togami in the next round.
Between the two players, this match is sure to be a fierce matchup.
Prediction: Champion attribution
Let's make a bold prediction about the winner.
This time, without the participation of the national table tennis players, players from all walks of life have seen the hope of winning the championship and will compete fiercely in the quarterfinals.
Regardless of strength and fame, Lin Yunru, Tomokazu Zhang and Bol will be the most likely to win the title, and will they be able to stand out in this fierce competition?
Stay tuned!
