In table tennis competitions, it is not news that Chinese table tennis players win, but it is news that they lose.
Unexpectedly, in the second round of the WTT Grand Slam Saudi Arabia Station, the news continued.
The Grand Slam is the highest level of WTT competition, and the national table tennis team sent 6 men and 6 women to participate this time. The male team members are Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, and Lin Shidong, and the female team members are Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi. Compete in Men's Singles, Women's Singles, Men's Doubles, Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles.
The first round went well, and all the Chinese players advanced.
Who knows, the second round has not yet been played, and 4 singles players have been defeated. They are:
Liang lost 2-3 to Alamiyan, 14-12, 6-11, 11-8, 9-11, 5-11.
Lin Gaoyuan lost 1-3 to Grote, and the score was 8-11, 7-11, 14-12, 11-13 in four games.
Ma Long lost 0-3 to Zhang Yuzhen, and the scores in three games were: 11-13, 6-11, 8-11.
The six Chinese men's singles players were cut in half, and one lost worse than the other. At present, only Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong have entered the third round, while Fan Zhendong has not played in the second round. Even Lin Shidong, who passed the hurdle, played very hard, and he defeated Filus 3-2 with the scores: 11-1, 12-10, 9-11, 8-11, 13-11, and the last game was tied at 11.
If the men's singles lead is not much, it is not surprising that several people have fallen, Wang Manyu, a national table tennis women's singles player who won the runner-up in the Macau World Cup last month, also fell down, she was defeated by India's Batra 1-3, with a score of 11-6, 5-11, 7-11, 10-12 in four games. In this game, because Batra is a long rubber, Wang Manyu is completely confused.
Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan were the champions and runners-up of the Macau World Cup last month, Liang Jingkun was the runner-up of the Singapore Grand Slam and the champion of the Incheon Championship in March, and Wang Manyu was the runner-up of the Macau World Cup last month, and played 9 draws in the 7th game with the champion.
The national table tennis players fell on such a large scale, which always makes people feel a little strange. Some people say that there is a situation with the table? We paid attention to it, although the table has become black and green, it is still our domestic brand, and it should not be this problem. Some people say that it is not the national table tennis handicap? But there is no sign of conceding. Some people say that they should lose early and concentrate on preparing for the Olympics? Some people don't play in the Olympics either. What do you think is going on?
