In the early morning of November 4, Beijing time, all the qualification competitions of the first challenge of the wtt Slovenia Tournament were over, and only two people in the national table tennis needed to participate in the qualification tournament in singles, Zhou Qihao and Liu Dingshuo, Liu Dingshuo had already qualified for the main tournament, and Zhou Qihao folded in the second round of the men's singles qualification tournament, with some regrets.
Yesterday's doubles qualifiers have also ended, the national table tennis only Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao this pair of men's doubles need to play qualifiers, originally they were in the final round of the match 2:3 defeat to the Japanese combination of Muzo Yujin / Tanaka Yuji, but then due to the Puerto Rican combination player Alfonado injured, so they chose to withdraw, and finally Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao substituted to qualify for the main tournament.
I have to say that Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao are really very lucky, it is simply a pie in the sky and they are also picked up by them (probably by ranking to determine the substitution combination). Seeing this news, fans have expressed their hope that they can cherish this "resurrection" opportunity and strive for a good performance.
The other men's doubles pair of national table tennis is Liang Jingkun / Wang Chuqin, they are the number one seeds of the tournament, and Lin Gaoyuan / Zhou Qihao's substitute is exactly in the 2/4 zone, so even if the two pairs play well, they will eventually meet in advance, but at least they have completed their respective tasks, and it is good to have a pair that can break into the final and fight for a championship.
The signing position on the men's singles side is also "absolute", and some fans even joked: It must be a small fat flying over to give the draw, hahaha. The national table tennis sent 5 male players to participate, and finally 4 of them advanced to the main competition, and as a result, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin and Liu Dingshuo were all drawn to the upper half of the district, leaving Liang Jingkun alone in the lower half. This is a test for Liang Jingkun, hoping that he can continue to be brave in the ping-pong overtime and try to keep until the end.
Today, all 7 participants of the national table tennis players will appear, of which Liu Dingshuo and Zhou Qihao have only one event, Lin Gaoyuan is a men's singles and men's doubles two events, and the remaining 4 people Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Wang Yidi, Liu Weishan are all in 3 events, looking forward to their good results!
