In the first set, China sent world No. 1 Wang Chuqin, while Iran sent Benjamin, who was only 14 years old.
I thought it was a game without suspense, but the result of the game was a big surprise!
In the first game, the 14-year-old Iran teenager gave Wang Chuqin a dismount, fought fiercely in the game, and won the first game with a score of 11-8!
In the second game, Wang Chuqin finally found his state, and through a ferocious attack, he completely occupied the advantage on the court, 11-3, Wang Chuqin successfully pulled back a game! The score of the two sides is tied at 1!
In the third game, the two sides competed very fiercely, but fortunately, Wang Chuqin seized the opportunity to win another game with a score of 11-9, and Wang Chuqin overtook 2-1!
In the fourth game, Wang Chuqin started well, and soon took a 6-2 lead, thinking that Wang Chuqin could win the game smoothly, but unexpectedly the Iran youngster let go, and Wang Chuqin's unnecessary mistakes began to increase, after 11 draws, Wang Chuqin lost two points in a row, and the 14-year-old won another game 13-11, and the score of the two sides reached 2 draws!
In the crucial tiebreaker game, Wang Chuqin's mistakes remained high, and Benjamin became more and more courageous, and soon took an 8-4 lead!
Wang Chuqin, who was behind in the score, did not give up the game and stubbornly chased the score to 9 draws!
But unfortunately, at the critical moment, Wang Chuqin lost two points in a row, and the 14-year-old Iran won the tiebreaker with a score of 11-9!
In this way, in the men's team competition of this Asian Championships, Wang Chuqin, who appeared for the first time, lost to his opponent with a score of 2-3! The Chinese team fell behind 0-1!
After the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin's form continued to be sluggish, losing to Lin Shidong in the Macau Championship, and losing to Denmark's Linde in the Chinese Grand Slam!
For Wang Chuqin, he needs to get out of the shadow of losing the Paris Olympics as soon as possible and re-establish his self-confidence!
I hope Wang Chuqin will come on and achieve better results in the following competitions, come on!
