The men's doubles of the Japanese team also qualified for the Olympic doubles. The opponent came to the final, and it must have a certain impact. They swept the Lebrun brothers 3-0 in their last game. Hayasuke Togami's style of play is more fierce, and his offense is fierce, and his partner's hand quality is better, and his soft and hard style of play just complements each other.
The Chinese team and the Japanese team are both a left-side and a right-sided pairing. At the beginning of the game, Malone took the lead and scored 2 points in a row. There were no unnecessary mistakes at the beginning of the game, and both sides were in good shape. The score has been chasing me with one person and one point. Ma Long, Wang Chuqin's return serve has more changes than the Japanese team, Ma Long's COSCO forehand and Wang Chuqin's backhand twisting and pulling have given the opponent a great threat. Ma Long's sideways attack, and Wang Chuqin's falling rush made people watch heartily. The Japanese team has not been able to take advantage of the near Taiwan, Ma Long and Wang Chuqin suppressed them in the first three boards, and the Japanese team has been retreating. Ma Long's understanding of the ball has reached the highest level, and the two play very easily on the court, which is a reflection of strength. The highest level of doubles is that two people seem to be playing alone.
In the third game, Ma Long, Wang Chuqin didn't give the Japanese team a chance at all, played the score to 9-3, crushed the Japanese team strongly, and directly collapsed the Japanese team, and the Japanese team had no way to deal with it at all, so they could only lose the game. The Japanese men's team was wiped out this time!
Congratulations: Ma Long/Wang Chuqin won the first WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam men's doubles championship, which is the third championship trophy won by national table tennis in this competition. It is also the second championship won by Wang Chuqin in this event.
