The 2022 WTT Regular Season Challenge in Tunis is over. In this Tunisian competition, Liu Guoliang still wants to give young people a chance, hoping that they can seize the rare opportunity to prove themselves. The results were shocking, the performance of the young national table tennis players disappointed him again, Liu Guoliang is time to consider the shot, can not let this passive decline continue.
The final event of the competition is the men's doubles title race. Played by Japan's Zhang Benzhi and/Muzo Yongjin against the Chinese duo of Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei. Zhang Benzhihe performed well in this match, although he was unexpectedly out of the men's singles competition. But he quickly adjusted to his sister Zhang Benmei and won the mixed doubles title with his first partner. The performance is still quite good. In this men's doubles final, due to the very limited strength of teammate Muzo Ishito, it is basically with the strength of Zhang Benzhi and one person to reach the final in the men's doubles competition.
In this campaign, the national table tennis combination Zhao Zihao/Xue Fei once led 2-1, but Zhang Benzhihe, who had experienced countless competition tests, was still experienced and more sophisticated, and did not give up the game when he was behind in the big score. On the contrary, the more courageous the vietnamese war, and finally laughed to the end. In the end, Zhang Benzhi and/Kizo Yongjin won the championship with a 3-2 reversal. After winning the gold medal in mixed doubles, Zhang Benzhihe won gold again in the men's doubles competition. In this way, Zhang Benzhihe won two gold medals in this Tunisia Challenge, and his performance was exceptionally eye-catching, which can be said to be the biggest winner of this WTT Tunisia competition.
At the final award ceremony, the national table tennis team rarely stood on the podium of the runner-up to witness the moment when the Japanese team lifted the championship trophy. For national table tennis, as long as it is a loss in any international competition, it is a failure. And Zhao Zihao and Xue Fei were also blackfaces throughout the whole process, and at the moment of losing the championship, they were also hit hard inside. In addition to his own psychology can not withstand the test of this kind of competition, Zhang Benzhi and may not be soft at key moments, and the technical and psychological quality are better than the national table tennis players is also an important reason.
In this WTT regular season challenge in Tunisia, the national table tennis team sent 11 men and 11 women to play. Liu Guoliang did not send the world's top three Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Liang Jingkun to compete. Instead, he gave the opportunity to Lin Gaoyuan, who had been controversial in the previous competition. I hope that he can prove himself in this Tunisian challenge, and even take revenge on Zhang Benzhihe, so as to get out of the psychological shadow of the previous crown as soon as possible. In the end, Lin Gaoyuan disappointed Liu Guoliang again, he lost to Sweden's Fark in the quarter-finals and missed the semi-finals. In the end, in this Tunisian competition, the national table tennis team only won two gold medals, and all came from the women's table tennis team.
Liu Guoliang had high hopes for Lin Gaoyuan in this Tunisian race, but he did not seize the opportunity. It seems that liu guoliang is looking for Fan Zhendong's successor, and it is urgent to make some adjustments to the main lineup of men's table tennis!
