On the evening of November 1, 2021, the WTT Slovenia Tournament held by the International Table Tennis Federation began, the first three days were the qualification rounds, the three members of the national table tennis team Lin Gaoyuan, Zhou Qihao, Liu Dingshuo played, this is the first time that the national table tennis participated in international events other than the Olympic Games this year, Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao won the opening red, winning three consecutive games to win the Japanese combination of Yujin Tanigaki / Shigetsuka Dadeng, but also made a good start.
This time the national table tennis sent a 10-person team, set off in advance to Slovenia to participate in international competitions, mainly many young players although won the World Table Tennis Championships singles seat, but for a long time have not played a foreign war, it is really necessary to adjust the state through the training of the race, to adapt, to ensure that there is no mistake, if you can improve the world ranking, you can occupy a favorable position in the world table tennis championships draw.
Lin Gaoyuan is the main player of the national table tennis team, the world ranking is in the top ten, Zhou Qihao has performed prominently this year, once won the straight-through championship with Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, reused by the coaching staff, both of them won the singles seat of the World Table Tennis Championships, Lin Gaoyuan is the number one seed in the men's singles event, but Zhou Qihao ranks too low, whether it is his singles, or the doubles of his partner Lin Gaoyuan, he must participate in the qualification tournament.
The Japanese team sent six players to participate this time, mainly young players, five people from the qualifiers, only Shen Qiao also directly entered the men's singles main competition, and Liang Jingkun in the lower half of the district, not surprisingly, the two sides will meet in the second round, by the attention of outside fans.
In the first round of the men's doubles qualifier, Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao against the Japanese combination of Yujin Tanigi / Shinosuke Dadeng, although Lin Takayuan and Zhou Qihao partnered for the first time, but the personal ability was there, the gap was still more obvious, the first set Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao was still adjusting, steady and steady 11-8 first, and then took advantage of the situation to chase, banging out 11-6, 11-5 consecutive wins two sets, 3-0 win to end the game.
This result was already expected by everyone, Tanigi Yujin / Shinobu Tsuka Daiden's strength is limited, Lin Takayuan / Zhou Qihao won is still relatively easy, then Hayashi Takato / Zhou Qihao against the Japanese combination of Muzo Isamu / Tanaka Yuji, competing for a regular match seat, Kisaki Yujin / Tanaka Yuji did not play in the first round, because of the opponent's withdrawal, without a fight and directly advanced to the next round, to get the opportunity to challenge the national table tennis combination.
MuZaku Yongren is also a little famous, before zhang Benzhihe's men's doubles partner, with a certain impact, but Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao's comprehensive strength is still obviously dominant, Lin Gaoyuan played a stable role, Zhou Qihao is ready to go, and then let us look forward to the performance of Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao, I believe they can achieve good results, fully mobilize themselves through actual combat, and warm up for the World Table Tennis Championships in advance.
