In the fierce WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Japanese table tennis star Tomokazu Haramoto faced huge pressure in the first round. His opponent, 1.97m tall Croatian Pucar, has an amazing physical advantage and strong hitting ability. Despite falling behind 1-2 at one point, Tomokazu Zhang fought tenaciously to defeat Pucar 11-9 in the deciding game to advance to the top 32 of men's singles.
At the beginning of the match, Tomokazu Zhang quickly launched an offensive, taking advantage of his opponent's weaknesses of slow start and lack of speed, and quickly took the lead. However, Pucar didn't give up easily, relying on his height advantage and powerful spin balls to launch a fierce counterattack in the second game to tie the score and eventually achieve a comeback.
Facing Pucar's increasingly brave state, Tomokazu Zhang seemed a little flustered, and in the third game, he could not resist the opponent's strong attack, and the score was forced to fall behind. However, in the fourth game, Tomokazu showed his fighting spirit, and he insisted on attacking near the stage in the face of a back-to-back battle, and finally succeeded in dragging the game into a tiebreaker. In this game, he seized his opportunity and sealed the victory by a narrow two-point margin.
Despite his eventual defeat, Pucar proved his competitiveness in the world table tennis by demonstrating his extraordinary skills and excellent control of his 1.97m figure in the competition. This competition is not only a test of skill and will, but also shows the outstanding style of the two players to the table tennis world.
