In the WTT Challenger Tunisia, due to the proximity of the competition time to the Olympic Games, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, as a rare world-class master, still achieved good results despite the lack of competitiveness of his opponents, and directly won the triple crown in the men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles events. After the match, he made a gesture of triple crown to pay tribute to Wang Chuqin's outstanding achievements in WTT events. This can also show from one side that Zhang Benzhihe is very satisfied with his results. However, to be honest, in the time period closer and closer to the opening time of the Olympic Games, Tomokazu Zhangmoto's performance looks very good, which will provide him with stronger confidence support for his Olympic preparations, but in fact, it also exposes the characteristics of his playing style and some of the skills he has honed recently in front of everyone, so even if Tomokazu Zhang becomes the triple champion, in fact, his competitiveness is still not enough to support him to form a comprehensive challenge to the main force of national table tennis.
As you can imagine, in the mixed doubles match, Tomokazu Haramoto and Hina Hayada faced the combination of Magnus Carlsen and C. Carlberg from Sweden, played five games, and won 3-2 in the final moment. It can be seen that for Zhang Ben and Hayata, the outstanding strength of singles cannot be completely transformed into competitiveness in mixed doubles, even if they have always been the world's top players, the competitive advantage compared with other players is not obvious, and there is still a lot of uncertainty in the game. Zhang Benzhihe's individual offensive ability in the mixed doubles court is also slightly lacking.
In the men's doubles competition, Tomokazu Zhang and Teruku Matsushima defeated Feng Yixin and Huang Yancheng from Chinese Taipei 3-0, only the first game of the three games was slightly stalemate, and the last two games were easily won, although this game was won easily, but considering that Matsushima Teruku was not shortlisted for the Olympic squad of Japanese men's table tennis. As the strongest player in Japanese men's table tennis singles, Tomokazu Zhang has little chance of playing in the doubles at the Olympic team event, and he plays the team event with Shinozuka Daito and Hayasuke Togami, and it seems that he has not been as competitive as Matsushima Teruko in doubles cooperation. Even if the Japanese men's table tennis may use Tomokazu Zhang to play doubles in some matches in the future, this will also reduce the competitiveness of Japanese men's table tennis in the team competition in disguise, after all, if Shinozuka Daito and Hayasuke Togami play singles in the team competition, the world's best masters are definitely not as experienced as Tomokazu Zhangmoto, and they lack a little aura.
Even if Tomokazu Zhang also won the men's singles championship of the Tunisia Challenger, after all, he won against his teammate Yuya Uda, and he won 4-3, and directly played an 11-9 2-point narrow victory in the last game, it can be said that the gold content of this championship is slightly insufficient. In addition, this is the first time in 19 months that Tomokazu Zhang has broken the championship drought in the world competition. It can be seen that even if he becomes the triple crown champion and wins the singles championship with his sister Zhang Benmeihe, this kind of strength is based on the fact that not only the national table tennis masters did not participate, but many foreign association masters also gave up the competition, so the gold content of Zhang Benzhihe's championship is still a little discounted. In addition, Zhang Benzhihe not only often loses now, but also fights everyone hard, and this time he also fought until the end to win narrowly by small points. If there is such a consumption in the Olympics, I am afraid that it will be more difficult for Tomokazu Zhang to go a little further in singles. On the surface, the triple crown seems to be a good result, but to be honest, compared with Wang Chuqin's triple crown, the gold content of this triple crown is really indebted.
