In the fierce arena of the Saudi Grand Slam, the Chinese table tennis team is going all out to hit every championship goal. As an important warm-up event before the 2024 Olympic Games, the Chinese team strives to win all the championships. However, in this global competition, the Japanese team has undoubtedly become a fierce opponent of the Chinese team, and the most eye-catching player is the Chinese player Tomokazu Zhangmoto, who represents Japan.
In recent years, the Japanese team has had a great impact on the Chinese team in the men's and women's singles events, especially in the men's singles, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, as a leader, has defeated the main players of the Chinese team many times. In this Saudi Grand Slam competition, Tomokazu Zhang not only participated in the men's singles event, but also teamed up with Hina Hayada to form a mixed doubles combination, aiming for the championship.
In the mixed doubles semi-finals, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha faced Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata. As the ace partners of the Chinese team, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha shoulder the heavy responsibility of winning the mixed doubles gold medal at the Olympic Games. Therefore, this match is not only a semi-final, but also a crucial battle to defend honor and confidence.
In the match, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha showed overwhelming strength, sweeping Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada 3-0. In the game, Tomokazu Zhang and Hina Hayada were beaten to the point where they were powerless, suffered a heavy defeat, and finally missed the final.
Looking back on past remarks, Tomokazu Zhang has repeatedly said in public that he wants to beat the Chinese team. However, this time in the direct confrontation with the Chinese team, he appeared to be shrunk and failed to show his best form, and finally lost 0-3.
Despite his strength, he is often flamboyant in personality and struggles to win the approval of Chinese fans. In stark contrast to him, low-key and strong athletes are more popular. In this competition, Zhang Benzhihe failed to withstand the impact of the Chinese team and was completely defeated by the combination of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha.
The defeat in the mixed doubles match was undoubtedly a wake-up call for Tomokazu Zhangmoto. In the men's singles competition, Tomokazu will continue to face a strong challenge from the Chinese player. It is hoped that more Chinese players will defeat Tomokazu Zhang in the singles event, adding confidence and motivation to the Chinese table tennis team to win all the championships.
