At the WTT Star Challenge held in Bangkok on July 7, Beijing time, Chen Xingtong, a player of the Chinese table tennis team, was upset in the women's singles competition. As the No. 1 seed, she lost 2-3 to South Korea's Seo Hyo-won, and the result of this match was a surprise.
At the beginning of the game, Chen Xingtong was in a hot state, winning two games in succession with a score of 11:5 and 11:5, showing her strong strength. However, in the ensuing matches, Xu Xiaoyuan gradually found his rhythm and began to frequently use chipping tactics to disrupt Chen Xingtong's offensive rhythm. Chen Xingtong was relatively conservative in the third and fourth games, and was pulled back by Xu Xiaoyuan 11-6 and 11-9. The game entered the deciding game, and Chen Xingtong seemed to have failed to adjust his mentality in time, but fell into more pressure. In the end, Xu Xiaoyuan won the tiebreaker 11:7 and eliminated Chen Xingtong with a total score of 3:2 to complete this amazing reversal.
