Lebrun caused some trouble for the opponent in the second game, but unfortunately after losing, he lost his heart in the third game and was subjected to a wave of flow.
Because Wang Chuqin was still preparing for the next singles match at that time, only Ma Long was interviewed after the doubles match. Ma Long said frankly: For me, there are not many opportunities for doubles matches, and the goal of this time with Wang Chuqin is to win the championship. I have already lost the singles, and I will go all out to prepare for the doubles. Then I laughed embarrassedly. We prepared well for this game, the first three boards and the start were good. Our performance today, according to the pre-game skills and tactics, the first three boards, and some holding the ball, all did a good job. Ma Long then looked forward to the final: These combinations may all be opponents in the Olympics, so they have to play well.
It can be said that Felix lost in a row for a day and lost all hope of qualifying. Wang Chuqin then won 4-0 in singles, and played Kai in the third line in a single day, especially in mixed doubles, and partnered with Sun Yingsha to win the championship 3-0, which was very powerful.
