Table tennis WTT Zagreb regular season is in full swing, Beijing time on June 6 is about to usher in the main competition, the men's singles signing has been announced, Japanese star Tomokazu Zhang Ben and the first round will face Chinese Taipei world champion Zhuang Zhiyuan, and the two major table tennis rivals Lee Sang-so (South Korea), Da Lebrun (France) is also about to fight.
In addition, Japan's national champion Hayasuke Togami and South Korea's world table tennis third runner-up Ahn Jae-hyun will also be blocked by strong opponents in the first round, as for the pressure on South Korean star Zhang Yuzhen and others is not very great for the time being, please see below for more details.
In this competition, no one from the Chinese team participated, and there were many famous players from the foreign association to join, among which the competition in men's singles is still very fierce, and the Japanese player Tomokazu Zhangmoto, who has defeated the main force of national table tennis many times, and South Korean athlete Zhang Yuzhen are the first second seeds, and Nigerian fierce Aruna and Japanese national champion Hayasuke Togami followed closely behind to become the third and fourth seeds respectively.
According to the signing, Zhang will face the 43-year-old Chinese Taipei world champion veteran Zhuang Zhiyuan in the first round, but although Zhang has lost to each other many times before, he has recently had a clear advantage, and this fight is very promising to win again.
Relatively speaking, Zhang Yuzhen and Aruna are not very strong opponents in the first round, and they will face Chen Haohua of Hong Kong, China and Kojik of Croatia respectively. As for Hayasuke Togami, the pressure is greater, and his first opponent is Croatian star Gasini, who has won the men's singles championship at the Open Championships in a row, and has strong strength, which is difficult to deal with.
Compared with the above games, Lee Sang-so VS Da Lebrun may be more suspenseful and more technical, the current skills and state of these two athletes are first-class in foreign associations, although Lee Sang-so is slightly inferior, but if he goes crazy, he may also advance.
South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun (2019 World Table Tennis Championships men's singles bronze medallist) and Oh Hyun-sung (son of Olympic silver medallist Oh Sang-yun) will face Chinese Taipei's rising star Ko Seung-rui and Hong Kong's Wong Chun-ting respectively in the first round. As for the opponents of France's main Simon and Japan's famous Matsushima Terukor, they are not very strong, and they should be able to advance if they play normally.
At present, it seems that Japanese and South Korean players have a greater advantage in the men's singles event, and European athletes such as Lebrun also have the strength to challenge for the championship, so who will have the last laugh? Let's wait and see what happens!
