WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, in the second round of singles, after Liang Jingkun and Wang Manyu, the two absolute main forces, were upset, this time it was Lin Gaoyuan's turn!
In the second round of the men's singles, Lin Gaoyuan lost 1-3 (8-11, 7-11, 14-12, 11-13) to Denmark's Grote. Lin Gaoyuan fought with his opponent in the third game to win back a game, but in the crucial fourth game, Lin Gaoyuan did not grasp the opportunity of two game points, "God does not take it, but suffers from it", and the opponent Grote is more and more brave and laughs to the end!
After the game, Grote said in an on-site interview that he was very happy, and he didn't expect to win against Lin Gaoyuan at first, because Lin Gaoyuan has been in good form recently, and he also broke into the final of the World Cup not long ago and fought fiercely with Ma Long. It can be seen that things that people didn't expect have happened, and a good attitude can cause a big upset!
After Liang Jingkun was out, Lin Gaoyuan saw the opportunity, but he himself made an old mistake, and he fought with a second-rate European player for half a day and finally lost the game.
Wang Manyu had basically qualified for the Olympic women's singles, but with the loss of the foreign war, 3,000 Olympic points were deducted, and she was almost about to give up the quota to Chen Meng behind her! Therefore, if she didn't grasp the opportunity herself, it would be better not to participate in this competition! And the second round of singles is still in progress, and with these players going out one after another, it will naturally affect the national table tennis players who will appear later, and who knows what will happen next?
At the moment, Liu Guoliang, Li Falcon, Wang Hao, Ma Lin and other members of the coaching staff must act quickly, whether it is from the ideology or action, to mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole team, if something goes wrong now, the pressure on public opinion and psychology will affect the subsequent Olympic preparations, the national table tennis really can't afford to lose, don't be ashamed this time!
