Recently, the Incheon Championship was in full swing, and there were many thrilling scenes on the first day of competition. First of all, Liang Jingkun was forced to draw 2-2 by the opponent in the case of 2-0, and finally narrowly defeated the opponent 3-2. On the other hand, when Wang Yidi took the lead, he was frantically chased by the other party and almost overturned. For the Chinese team, winning the first day of the game was not easy.
On the other hand, on the first day of the competition, the national table tennis also received a very regrettable news, that is, the Chinese champion from Hong Kong, China, straight board player Huang Zhenting, was eliminated by Francesca in the first round, and finally missed the subsequent knockout round and missed the championship, which is very regrettable for many fans.
First of all, a brief review of this game, Francesca eliminated Huang Zhenting 3-1, indeed because of his excellent performance. In this game, Francesca even played a score of 11 to 1 in the first game, in contrast, Huang Zhenting's state is really bad, I don't know if it's because of his age, or because he has been working hard in the recent games, and he feels tired and can't play well, and he can only accept the result if he loses the game.
When it comes to Huang Zhenting, it should be very familiar to many Chinese fans. He has indeed achieved good results before. The 32-year-old is ranked 43rd in the world and was once ranked in the top 10 at his peak around 2018. From this point, it can be seen that Huang Zhenting was brilliant back then, and he was once called the light of the straight board by fans. In 2019, Wong led Hong Kong, China to win the men's doubles world championship, and once upset the likes of Xu Xin and Zhang Benzhihe in the World Championships.
From such a brilliant resume, it can be seen that Huang Zhenting is also a very remarkable Chinese celebrity. It's just that now that the age is up, and the straight board itself does not have an advantage, it is not surprising that this result has been achieved.
Of course, it can be seen from the results and performance of Huang Zhenting's elimination this time that whether it is Francesca or Qiu Dang, these European players, their performance has indeed become more and more powerful recently. Their overall skills and tactics are not lost at all compared to famous players such as China and Japan, so if the players of the Chinese team are likely to encounter these famous players, they will definitely encounter more challenges. You have to prepare well to make sure that there are no problems.
Judging from this list, the current threat to the Chinese team is Felix Lebrun, ranked fifth in the world. His latest world ranking has entered the top five, surpassing aces such as Lin Gaoyuan, and he is in very good form. The key is that his age is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his overall physical strength is more dominant, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
Next, if the Chinese team wants to avoid a tragedy like Huang Zhenting, they must maintain a good form. On the other hand, first of all, you have to overwhelm your opponent in terms of momentum to ensure that you win by a big score.
