The 2022 WTT Star Challenge Doha Women's Singles Quarterfinals kicked off, and as the only seedling of the national table tennis women's team, Zhang Rui ushered in the strong impact of Chen Siyu, who has a good strength. In the end, Zhang Rui was reversed by his opponent in the case of winning one set first, and lost 1:3 to the women's singles final four. So far, the national table tennis in the Doha station singles project all out, and even the men's singles and women's singles have not reached the final four, for this result, what do you think?
The Doha race is closer to the Singapore Grand Slam, and the three main players of the women's team, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, have all announced their withdrawal due to physical recovery. Zhang Rui, Qian Tianyi, Fan Siqi and other players have become the main force of the team to win gold. Throughout the Paris Olympic cycle, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are the top three main players of the women's team, and it is difficult for other players to shake their status. Therefore, only in the absence of these core players, other players of the national table tennis women's team can get more opportunities to play.
In addition to the Chinese team, the Japanese team of Ito Mimachi and Ishikawa Yoshinori did not participate in the competition. Originally, the coaching staff hoped that in this Doha match, the Chinese team could emerge several new people, but did not want to be hit hard in the men's singles and women's singles events. Previously, The men's singles Xue Fei and Zhou Qihao had all lost in the quarterfinals, and the national table tennis men's singles had never been able to reach the final four of the event. After the total destruction of the men's singles, Zhang Rui became the only hope for the Chinese team in the singles event. In the previous quarter-finals, Zhang Rui showed courage and defeated the powerful Li Haoqing to advance to the quarterfinals.
In the quarter-finals of this game, Zhang Rui and Chen Siyu met in a narrow way. As he was the last player in the national table tennis team to have the opportunity to compete for the championship, Zhang Rui's match attracted the attention of many fans. After the game began, Zhang Rui quickly launched an attack, using the serve to limit the opponent's return line, and looking for scoring opportunities in the multi-board back and forth, and finally took the lead at 11:9. In the second set, Chen Siyu took the initiative to change, and increased the fighting strength of the COSCO platform, Zhang Rui made more mistakes after being impacted by the opponent, and Chen Siyu won back a set at 11:4. In the crucial third set, Chen Siyu continued to strengthen the attack, Zhang Rui was suppressed by the opponent in terms of line, could not find too many effective ways, and finally lost another set 4:11.
In the fourth set, Zhang Rui still could not restrain the opponent's attack and won the game 4:11. With Zhang Rui's exit, the national table tennis men's team and women's team were all eliminated in the singles event of this Doha station, not only missing the championship, but also failing to reach the final four. This result has made many fans unbelievable. Judging from the past results, the national table tennis has never missed the final four of the men's singles and women's singles in an international competition. Some fans believe that strength is one aspect, and the lack of desire to survive and poor competition experience are also important reasons for the defeat of the national table tennis soldiers in Doha.
