On March 13, 2022, Beijing time, the Singapore Table Tennis Grand Slam continued, the second round of women's singles broke out of the big cold, the world's No. 7 Du Kaixuan was unexpectedly out, she lost three consecutive sets in the case of winning one set first, and was reversed by The European player Polkanova. Du Kaixuan originally drew the upper draw, normal play can go straight to the quarterfinals, and then have the opportunity to fight Wang Manyu again, but she is out early, and her face is full of disappointment.
The Grand Slam tournament entered the third day of the main tournament, the second round of women's singles was fully launched, and du Kaixuan, ranked 7th in the world, played against Polkanova, normally speaking, Du Kaixuan's strength is dominant, and he should be able to pass the level smoothly. After the game began, she did take the initiative, winning the first set easily 11-4, thinking that Du Kaixuan could make a quick decision, but she then lost key points in a row, losing two consecutive sets 9-11, 10-12.
After that, Du Kaixuan's mentality was affected, the fourth set can be described as a big loss of standard, unnecessary mistakes are particularly many, and soon lost this set 6-11, and the big score was 1-3 out, which is obviously a big cold. It can be said that Du Kaixuan missed a good opportunity because she drew the lottery, and if she can beat Polkanova, the next round against the winner between Barazova and Sutasini will not be difficult to pass.
To put it simply, Du Kaixuan should have gone straight to the quarterfinals, and then in the quarterfinals may meet Wang Manyu, and she beat Wang Manyu in Singapore, and the psychological level should not be afraid of Wang Manyu. However, she unexpectedly lost to Polkanova, all of which made no sense, except to say that Du Kaixuan did miss a good opportunity.
