On September 12, in the second round of the Macau Championship men's singles, there was an upset! The national table tennis world champion is upset! The No. 3 seed is 1-3 and stops in the round of 16 in Macau! This person is Lin Gaoyuan, and he also became the first person in national table tennis to be eliminated in this tournament.
Lin Gaoyuan played against Gao Chengrui of Chinese Taipei, and his overall strength was obviously higher, so it depends on whether he can seize the opportunity. Unfortunately, Lin Gaoyuan was not mobilized enough and lost the first game with a score of 7-11; In the second game, Lin Gaoyuan also failed to adjust his state in time, but made continuous mistakes, the offensive efficiency was average, and he lost the game with a score of 6-11, and the big score came to 0-2!
In the third game, Lin Gaoyuan played well at the end of the game, completing a single-game reversal, turning the tables 6-9 to 11-9, and chasing the big score to 1-2! In the fourth game, Lin Gaoyuan played reasonably well at the beginning, and strongly hit a 4-1 lead, and then expanded the advantage to 8-4! Unfortunately, the unexpected came! Lin Gaoyuan failed to withstand the pressure and suffered a big reversal with a score of 9-11, with a big score of 1-3, which is a pity!
Lin Gaoyuan's second round tour, there are too many things that need to be summarized after the game, insufficient preparation, poor mobilization, and weak response, on the whole, there is nothing to complain about in this loss, it is completely that he does not work hard, there are too many mistakes, and he cannot adjust and solve it in time.
In an interview after the game, Gao Chengrui said frankly: It feels a little incredible, the goal I set today was to win a game first, but I didn't expect to win in the end. Looking forward to the opponent in the next round, Gao Chengrui said frankly: In the next round, he will fight Moregard with the mentality of fighting.
In the other matches played today, Lin Yunru played well, defeating Sweden's Carlberg in straight sets. In the first two games, the scores were 11-4 and 11-5 respectively to achieve a 2-0 lead! There was no suspense in the third game, Lin Yunru withstood the pressure and won 11-9, and the big score came to 3-0! Congratulations to Lin Yunru for reaching the top 8!
So far, 4 seats have been decided in the top 8, and Moregard has recruited Gao Chengrui in the next round.
