In the just-concluded WTT Doha men's singles final, Japanese table tennis star Tomokazu Haramoto and German veteran Boll had a thrilling showdown.
However, in the end, they lost with a score of 3-4 and missed the perfect opportunity to win the men's singles championship.
The dream of a champion is shattered
Tomokazu Haramoto, a young Japanese star, faced German veteran Boll in the WTT Doha Men's Singles Final.
After seven hard-fought games, he finally lost 3-4 to the 42-year-old Bol.
This defeat made Tomokazu Zhang look embarrassed at the award ceremony, pursed his lips but couldn't laugh, and even had a black face for a while.
After all, this championship was once close to hand, but it slipped away at the last moment, which is somewhat regrettable.
The national table tennis gave up, and Bol's counterattack became a miracle
Another striking feature of this match is that the national table tennis team gave up part of the competition and only participated in the mixed doubles event.
In this case, Tomokazu was the favourite to win the title, but he faced the 42-year-old Bol, a former world champion, in the final.
With his brave play, Bol defeated Tomokazu Zhang in the game and became the dark horse of the whole game.
Strictly speaking, Bol is not a dark horse, but more like an ageless legend in the international table tennis world, and has won the favor of many Chinese people with his gentle and elegant personality.
This year's 42-year-old veteran Bol has fought against several generations of national table tennis main forces, from the era of Liu Guoliang Kong Linghui, to the two kings and one horse, until the current dragon fat head combination, which is the last peak of the association in the past 20 years.
During the period, the record was impressive, not only won Kong Linghui, but what was even more terrifying was that in the 05 World Cup, he successively defeated the two kings and one horse that was in full swing and reached the top of the World Cup.
Yes, never underestimate the heart of a champion!
A seven-game battle with twists and turns
Zhang Benzhihe narrowly won the first four rounds of this competition, and his state was average.
At the beginning of the final, he was very proactive, took the lead, and successfully won the first game. However, in the next game, the situation was reversed and the score was equalized 1-1 by the opponent.
Although Tomokazu Zhang then overtook again, he collapsed by 2 points when he was about to win in the sixth game.
In the decider, he dominated several times, but in the end he lost 3-4 to Bol and failed to win the title.
Throughout the game, Bol's tenacity and counterattack spirit were impressive, he was quite old, and the tank did still have oil.
It's just a pity that Zhang Ben, a kid, is determined to defeat the national table tennis, but in addition to the sudden rise of the army in the first few years of his debut, which has caused a lot of trouble to the national table tennis, he has been defeated repeatedly in recent years.
It can be regarded as being thoroughly studied by the national table tennis, and there is no threat in the past few years, and the latest world ranking has also been surpassed by Lin Shidong and has withdrawn from the top ten in the world.
Finally, this time the national table tennis did not participate in the war, but he didn't grasp the opportunity and was taught a good lesson by his uncle's Bol.
How arrogant he was at the beginning, how lonely he is now.
The test of civil war and the proof of strength
Next, Tomokazu Haramoto will return to Japan to participate in the Japan National Championships, facing the test of the civil war.
Although the experience of WTT Doha made him miss a chance to win the championship, it also made him more deeply aware of his own shortcomings.
In the civil war in the island country's table tennis world, Tomokazu Zhang is not only to win the championship, but also to prove his strength.
The WTT Doha regular season has officially come to an end, and the result of the men's singles final may be a bit surprising, but it also presents us with a wonderful table tennis feast with many twists and turns.
Look at the Paris Olympics, what kind of surprises the veteran Bol can bring us.
