For the first round of the WTT Grand Slam, in fact, the test is everyone's ability to cope with unknown difficulties, and how to continue to maintain the stability of the play under the strong impact of the other side, and finally win. In this regard, from veterans Ma Long and Xu Xin to Fan Zhendong, who accidentally twisted his foot during the game, as well as Wang Chuqin and the women's team's Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, He Zhuojia, Wang Yidi, Liu Shiwen, wang Manyu, all showed their own strength and successfully broke into the next round in the game. The main opponents of national table tennis, from Calderano to Zhang Benzhihe, suffered a round of travel together and regretted to be out of the first round of competition. Of course, the main players of the national table tennis are not all successful wins, such as Chen Xingtong in the civil war with teammate Wang Yidi on the 2-3 victory and thus did not qualify for the 32nd round, and the young player Xiang Peng in the men's team, although he won in the qualifiers, also failed to break into the danish player Gross, who finally suffered a clean sheet 0-3. If in the first round of competition, the most disappointing national table tennis player is who is undoubtedly Lin Gaoyuan.

This time, the 26-year-old national table tennis player originally showed a good competitive state since the beginning of this season, for example, whether in the Macau Star Competition or in the Oman Challenge, he was in the men's singles field, and finally reached the final, and directly launched a strong dialogue with his teammates Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun, but unfortunately, he did not win the final in the final two matches, thus winning two runners-up. Under this premise, Lin Gaoyuan is naturally in a relatively backward position compared with Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun in the main competition of the Paris Olympic cycle, especially in the competition for Olympic quotas. However, because he played well in the just-concluded Omani leg, everyone still has great expectations for Lin Gaoyuan's performance in this WTT Grand Slam.
However, it was somewhat disappointing that Lin Gaoyuan faced South Korean player Lim Joong-hoon and could not win even one set, and finally suffered a 0-3 clean sheet. The scores were 6-11, 9-11 and 6-11 in the three sets. Although there were opportunities in all three sets, Lin Gaoyuan did not catch a single one. The 0-3 defeat to the opponent also made the fans sing about Lin Gaoyuan's future. Lin Gaoyuan's style of play is short, only relying on speed to play, and can not form an advantage in strength, it is indeed more and more restrictive of his play, the competitiveness in the world arena has been weakening. Indeed, Lin Zhongxun, as Lin Gaoyuan's first-round opponent, is indeed more outstanding, and he has also had the experience of eliminating Lin Yunru at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, but from the perspective of the entire process of the game, it is obvious that Lin Gaoyuan himself failed to grasp the opportunity, and he was a bit led by the opponent in the game, and the final defeat was also a true reflection of the poor competitive state.
From the perspective of the first set of the two sides, Lin Zhongxun can be said to have sufficient research and preparation for Lin Gaoyuan's style of play, clearly gained the upper hand from the beginning of the mid-game, and achieved a 10-4 lead in one fell swoop, and in the face of Lin Gaoyuan's continuous mistakes, Lin Zhongxun won the first set 11-6. In the second set of the game, although Lin Gaoyuan took the lead at the beginning, after Lin Zhongxun adapted to the changes in Lin Gaoyuan's first three boards, he chased the point difference speed to 6-6 in the middle, and pulled the score at the end of the game, 11-9 and then the next city. In the third game of the game, although Lin Gaoyuan was behind in the big score, he started to take a 4-0 lead, but unfortunately the good times were not long, Lin Zhongxun relied on his overall offensive advantages, taking 8 points in a row, Lin Gaoyuan scored more difficult, but the old problem of losing points very quickly appeared again, and finally he lost another set 6-11. Thus the first round of the score of 0-3 is about to be eliminated. When Lin Zhongxun won the whole game, he roared loudly with excitement, and in stark contrast to this, Lin Gaoyuan's lonely expression. Like Zhang Benzhihe and Calderano, he became one of only three top 10 men in the world rankings but was out in the first round. From a certain point of view, Lin Gaoyuan's defeat also allowed him to further open up the gap in the competition for Olympic places. Obviously, his current main position is becoming more and more dangerous.
