The table tennis Macau World Cup under the new rules feels very difficult to play. Some unknown players have sprung up like mushrooms, one by one.
By 8 p.m. on April 17, the men's singles names such as Moregaard, Qiu Dang, Simon, Lee Sang-so, Lim Jong-hoon, Ahn Jae-hyun, and Da Lebrun were eliminated, and the women's singles names Zhu Chenzhu, Batra, Du Kaiqin, and Yuan Jianan, etc., were eliminated.
Just this afternoon, the first Chinese table tennis player to be eliminated was released, and she was 20-year-old Kuo Man.
Kuo Man's first match was against Australia's Hong Jianfang, who won 4-0. The scores in four games were: 11-5, 11-6, 11-3, 11-9.
Kuaiman's second game was against South Korea's first sister Tian Zhixi. In the past two years, Tian Zhixi's record in the international arena has steadily improved, the ball has become better and better, and his mentality and tactics have also become better and better.
In this game, Tian Zhixi played very tough as soon as he came up, and worked hard to play higher quality, as if Kuo Man was a veteran player and she was a young player to impact. Kuo Man didn't adapt to Tian Zhixi's speed or her intensity. Lost 2 games in a row 4-11, 6-11.
At the beginning of the third game, Kuaiman began to find his senses and launched a strong counterattack, winning 12-10, 11-4 to win two games, and the two sides ended the match.
Because Tian Zhixi's first round was also 4-0 Hong Jianfang, she and Kuo Man had the same winning and losing points, both of which were 6-2 in 8 games. According to the rules of this World Cup, priority will be given to comparing the win-loss relationship between the two sides.
In this 2-2 game, the two sides won the same game, and then scored, Kuo Man scored 32 points, while Tian Zhixi scored 36 points, Tian Zhixi scored 4 points more, and beat Kuo Man to sit first in the group. Although Kuaiman did not lose, he was eliminated by 4 points.
This is the first time that the 20-year-old Kuo Man has participated in the World Cup, and the failure to qualify for the group means that the Chinese women's table tennis has no successor, and Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu will have to go to the next Olympic Games.
