The audience on the sidelines thought that it would be an easy victory, after all, Fan Zhendong's strength was there. However, things don't seem to be as simple as they seem.
At the beginning of the third game, Francesca suddenly broke out as if he had changed his person, and won 11-6. In this game, Fan Zhendong seemed to be a little caught off guard, probably because he was too light on the enemy before, which led to some slackness in strategy. And Francesca's counterattack undoubtedly gave him a resounding slap in the face.
In the next fourth game, Francesca was even more reborn, scoring consecutive points, and finally won 11-8 again, bringing the total score to a 2-2 draw. At this time, the atmosphere of the audience was tense to the extreme, and the audience who originally supported Fan Zhendong also began to be surprised by Francesca's tenacious struggle.

Eventually, after a lengthy round, Francesca completed the comeback with a narrow 12-10 advantage. Such a result makes one have to sigh at the unpredictability and fierce competition of table tennis.
After the game, Fan Zhendong looked quite frustrated. After all, as a member of the national team, every defeat can affect his career. And this defeat, especially when it was reversed while leading the way, will undoubtedly bring him more pressure and self-doubt.
