On the evening of January 19, Beijing time, the regular season of table tennis WTT Doha continued, and in the first two men's singles quarterfinals, the 42-year-old German world champion Boll played a very good competitive state, eliminating South Korean star Lee Sang-so 3-1, and winning three masters in a row (as well as South Korea's Zhang Yuzhen and Iran's Alamiyan) to advance, which is really immortal!
As for Japan's national champion Hayasuke Togami, who won three games in a row after falling behind 0-1, and finally eliminated South Korea's world runner-up Lim Jong-hoon: South Korea's men's singles was wiped out, and no one was promoted, which was really a miserable loss!
A total of four world champions participated in the men's singles event in this competition, among which Chinese Taipei's Zhuang Zhiyuan, Sweden's Falke and Karlsson all fell before the quarterfinals, only Germany's Boll passed smoothly, and the state was very good, winning 3-0 in a row to advance, eliminating Lee Sang-so's teammate, South Korea's world runner-up Zhang Yuzhen, but he is a 42-year-old veteran after all, and his physical strength is still somewhat at a loss.
Japan's Hayasuke Togami has defeated Tomokazu Haramoto many times and won the men's singles championship at the national championships twice, but his performance in the foreign war was mediocre.
After the start of the game, Bol started very fast, and it didn't take long to take a 10-2 lead in the first game, and then easily won 11-2, playing a good form rarely seen in recent years. In the second game, Bol continued to exert his strength and won 11-8, just one step away from victory.
In the third game, the two sides played very fiercely, and Bol once got the match point, but unfortunately lost 11-13. In the fourth game, Bol regained his strength and finally won 11-6, defeating the famous player again to advance, which was really unstoppable!
The battle between Japan and South Korea was relatively stalemate, and Lim Jong-hoon encountered great difficulties in the first game, but finally won 12-10 to take the lead. In the second game, Hayasuke Togami continued to press step by step, and then won 11-3 to tie the game. In the third game, Hayasuke Togami continued to exert his strength and won 11-7, but Lin Zhongxun was forced into a desperate situation by the reversal.
In the fourth game, Lin Zhongxun lost the battle with his back to the water, and finally lost 8-11, and the whole team was wiped out in the men's singles competition, and no one advanced to the semifinals: the national table tennis did not participate in this event, and they still did not win the championship.
