2-2! The national table tennis is happy to fall from the sky, and the Macau World Cup qualification situation: Wang Chuqin has three scores
On April 16, 2024, the Table Tennis World Cup ended with a key matchup, Men's Singles Ahn Jae-hyun faced Glasmenko, and the two sides played four games equally, so that Wang Chuqin only needs to defeat Glasmenko to advance to the top 16, and the national table tennis will be happy from the sky.
Ahn Jae-hyun is the No. 4 main force of the South Korean team, and there are Jang Woo-jin, Lim Jong-hoon, Lee Sang-so, who once won Zhang Ben Zhihe and won the third place in the men's singles at the World Table Tennis Championships.
Originally assigned to Wang Chuqin's group, the luck is really not good, and it can only end here, but I didn't expect An Jae-hyun to spell out the opportunity, 0-2 behind and two games in a row, this result is surprising, the total Wang Chuqin 39-38 won 1 point, according to the analysis of special rules, the initiative is still in his own hands, as long as Wang Chuqin wins 4-0 Glasmenko, or Ahn Jae-hyun does not play well.
Korean players are characterized by strong willpower, and the competition is easy to play extraordinarily, Ahn Jae-hyun has this characteristic, but Glasmenko is by no means an idle person, it is easy to underestimate him, after the start of the game, Glasmenko led 8-4 in the first game, and then took the lead 11-7, in the face of Glasmenko's high quality, Ahn Jae-hyun also couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and his forehand was relatively poor.
In the second game, Ahn Jae-hyun's state improved, the key points seized the opportunity and pulled back a game with 11-9, Glasmenko's strength is very strong, but the first three boards are too rough, Ahn Jae-hyun is relatively delicate, in general, the gap in the level of competition is not large, in fact, the draw between the two is the most beneficial to Wang Chuqin, if Glasmenko wins 4-0, it is not a good thing, there are indeed too many special rules, and the points must be calculated to understand.
In the third game, Ahn Jae-hyun led 4-1, Glasmenko called a timeout, wanted to slow down and find a feeling, after coming back, Ahn Jae-hyun took advantage of the situation to chase and score 7 points in a row, blasting out 11-1 and coloring, in the fourth game, Ahn Jae-hyun adopted a steady and steady strategy, Glasmenko continued to chase points very tenaciously, at the end of the game Ahn Jae-hyun 10-8 got the match point, Glasmenko scored 4 points in a row, reversed 12-10, and it was a good thing that the two were tied.
Wang Chuqin can now qualify with three scores, the first is 4-0 Glasmenko, the second is 3-1 Glasmenko, and the third is 2-2 Glasmenko, if all three are 2-2, the advantage can be calculated when calculating the net difference, the initiative is already in the hands of Wang Chuqin, of course, the opportunity still has to rely on oneself to fight, now the situation is just favorable, and then face Glasmenko, you must go all out to fight.
