The first round of the men's singles at the Macau World Cup was another upset, following Lin Gaoyuan's 2-2 draw with Puka, Wang Chuqin drew 2-2 with South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun.
After watching this game, it can only be said that Wang Chuqin should not have lost it. Losing a good game makes people helpless, and we need to summarize it well. In the first two games, although Wang Chuqin encountered challenges, the key points were still relatively stable, 11-9, 11-7, and the next two games in a row. Just when the fans thought that the game would be stable, the situation on the field changed 180 degrees, Ahn Jae-hyun felt hot, and Wang Chuqin lost his form. Ahn Jae-hyun replied to Wang Chuqin 11-9, 11-8, locking the big score at 2-2.
From the perspective of Oita, Wang Chuqin is a 2-2 battle against Ping An Zaixian. Judging from the small score, Wang Chuqin only won by one point at 39-38. The gap between the two people is very small, which makes Wang Chuqin fall into passivity, there is no way back in the next group game, and it is necessary to fight quickly, and it is best to sweep the opponent, so as to control the fate.
There are a total of three people in this group, Wang Chuqin is undoubtedly the strongest, Ahn Jae-hyun is the most threatening, and this match also once again proved the uncertainty of the men's singles field. If you are a little careless, the main force of national table tennis also has the possibility of losing. Glasmenko is the weakest, and now it will be up to Wang Chuqin and Ahn Jae-hyun to fight him. If Wang Chuqin continues to make mistakes, and Ahn Jae-hyun seizes the opportunity, it will be Wang Chuqin who will be eliminated. Under pressure, Wang Chuqin needs to adjust himself, and there is no better choice.
Why did Wang Chuqin fight like this?
First, the competition system is special, and Wang Chuqin has to adapt to it
The group stage of this tournament is a four-game system, and you must play all four games, which is why there is a draw. The four-game system is very fast-paced, which is good for the weak side and the fighting side. Wang Chuqin needs to adapt, 2-2 is over, there is no tiebreaker, any light opponent is giving the opponent a chance.
Second, absent from the Incheon race, Wang Chuqin's state needs to be adjusted
In Singapore, Wang Chuqin was in hot form, defeating Liang Jingkun to win the championship. In the subsequent Incheon competition, although Wang Chuqin signed up for the competition, he chose to withdraw before the start of the competition. From the current point of view, this choice still affects Wang Chuqin. When the state is right, he retires and does not play high-level actual combat for a month, Wang Chuqin needs a process of adjustment and needs to slowly improve his state.
In the first game of the World Cup, Wang Chuqin faced off against Ahn Jae-hyun, who is not a rookie, and it is normal for this game to be difficult to play. Korean table tennis players have a very strong fighting ability, especially when facing the main force of national table tennis. This is also confirmed from the game process, Ahn Jae-hyun is in very good condition, fighting very fiercely, and his performance must be affirmed.
As the top seed of the event, Wang Chuqin's group was originally without suspense. But with the arrival of this draw, this has added a lot of uncertainty to the game, and Wang Chuqin must adjust his competitive state as soon as possible and enter the rhythm of the game, which can reduce the possibility of accidents!
