Today (October 8), in the 1/4 finals of the men's team of the Table Tennis Asian Championships, the national table tennis men's team played against the Iran men's team, and Wang Chuqin, who took the lead, lost 2-3 to Benjamin · Faraj and lost the first set.
Five-game scores: 8-11, 11-3, 11-9, 11-13, 9-11.
It is understood that Benjamin · Faraghi was born on December 21, 2009, is under the age of 15 and is ranked outside the top 200 in the world.
According to the latest WTT men's singles world rankings today, in men's singles, Wang Chuqin is currently ranked first in the world with 7825 points, and Fan Zhendong is ranked second. Lin Shidong, who won the men's singles title at the Chinese Grand Slam, rose to third in the world, setting a new career high.
Wang Chuqin's recent form has not been good, and in the previous WTT China Grand Slam men's singles match, Wang Chuqin lost 1-3 to Denmark's Anders · Linde, stopping the men's singles round of 32. At that time, Wang Chuqin said: "I don't think that after the Olympics, I haven't entered a relatively normal and positive state of competition, and the desire to treat the competition. I want to play well in this competition, but I may not have thought about it in more detail, how to play well. I just want to go all out, but whether it is in my thoughts and mentality, I haven't completely settled down, and I still have a certain fluctuation in my heart when I fight and confront my opponent. ”
In this year's Asian Table Tennis Championships, Wang Chuqin gave up the men's doubles competition and only participated in the singles competitions of the team and men's singles events. Talking about the reason, Wang Chuqin said: "With my current state to play (the Asian Championships), I am sorry for myself, and I am sorry for the cultivation of the country and the Chinese table tennis team. I hope that through a few days of adjustment, I can find the feeling of fighting and winning in the field. Because the schedule of the Asian Championships is particularly intensive, coupled with my lack of training some time ago, I hope to mobilize myself by participating in singles, and I thank the coaching staff and Coach Wang Hao for respecting my ideas. ”
The game is over. In the second set, Lin Shidong also fought to the tiebreaker, defeating Iran's Alamiyan 3-2. In the third set, Liang Jingkun defeated Tahir 3-0. In the fourth set, Wang Chuqin played again, found his touch, and defeated Alamiyan 3-1. The Chinese men's team eventually defeated Iran 3-1 and will face the winner between Japan and Korea in the semifinals.
