Previously, Fan Zhendong defeated German player Duda 4-0, Huang Zhenting lost Duda 1-3, the gap is very obvious, so Fan Zhendong has no pressure, this stage is not difficult for him, Huang Zhenting is a straight board play is very threatening, but after all, the age is there, and the competitive state is not at the peak for a long time, not to mention that Fan Zhendong is too familiar with Huang Zhenting's situation, and he has often played against each other in the past to maintain a winning record.
After the start of the game, Fan Zhendong was very imposing in the first game, in the face of high-quality attack, Huang Zhenting couldn't stop it at all, it was difficult to keep up with this rhythm, in fact, Huang Zhenting must suffer a loss when he played each other, and he must find opportunities in the first three boards, the key is that Fan Zhendong is faster, and he is not given time to adjust, in general, there is still a gap in the comprehensive level, Fan Zhendong took the lead with 11-5, putting pressure on the opponent.
In the second game, Fan Zhendong made some senseless mistakes, although he actively started to grab the serve, but the quality was not as high as before, Huang Zhenting's first three boards were indeed delicate, and the landing point changed a lot, which made Fan Zhendong a little uncomfortable, Huang Zhenting pulled back a game with 11-8, Fan Zhendong's state fluctuated, mainly because Huang Zhenting was by no means an idle person, and his ability to adjust on the spot was too strong, especially the rhythm of the transition near the stage was very fast.
In the third game, the two sides played back and forth, Huang Zhenting was very hardworking, even in the face of Fan Zhendong, he was not afraid, but the key points were almost meaningless, Fan Zhendong withstood the pressure and pulled back a game with 11-9, and in the fourth game Fan Zhendong adopted a steady and steady strategy, Huang Zhenting was very tenacious, and he was always chasing points when he was behind, but Fan Zhendong seized the opportunity and ended the game 11-7, and finally defeated Huang Zhenting 3-1.
