Table tennis Grand Slam: Zhang Benzhihe defeated Huang Zhenting 3-1 in the first match, and Coach Liu Guodong was too sorry

The battle between the old and the new in the table tennis world: Zhang Benzhi and Huang Zhenting defeated Huang Zhenting 3-1 to advance to the top 32

I've heard that something big is happening in the table tennis world again! Just at the WTT China Grand Slam, that Japan teenager Tomokazu Zhangmoto won again! This time, he defeated the veteran Wong Chun-ting of Hong Kong, China, and directly advanced to the round of 32. Although Tomokazu Zhang is the first brother of Japan, our Chinese players still have an advantage, right?

A generational showdown

What an exciting game! Zhang Benzhihe is only in his early 20s this year, and it is the time when he is young and vigorous. And Huang Zhenting is 33 years old and can be regarded as a veteran in the table tennis world. The two have faced each other 10 times before, with Tomokazu Chang winning eight times and Huang Zhenting only winning twice. But who says veterans can't beat young people?

At the beginning of the game, Tomokazu Zhang was like a chicken blood, and easily won the first game 11-6. Huang Zhenting was not to be outdone, and pulled one back 11-9 in the second game. It seems that this veteran still has two hits! However, Tomokazu won two games in a row, winning 11-7 and 11-9 respectively. In the end, the total score was 3-1, and Tomokazu Zhang successfully advanced to the top 32.

I watched the live broadcast of the game, and Tomokazu Zhangmoto's speed and power are really amazing. But Huang Zhenting's experience and skills are not covered, and several balls caught Zhang Benzhihe off guard. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't keep up with my physical strength when I was old, maybe I could really turn the tables!

The rise of Japan's "prodigy".

Speaking of Tomokazu Zhangmoto, he is a well-known figure. He is a "prodigy" in Japan's table tennis world, and has shown amazing talent since he was a child. At the age of 15, he reached the World Cup men's singles final, and although he lost to Fan Zhendong, he also won the runner-up. At last year's Tokyo Olympics, he also led the Japan team to a bronze medal in the men's team.

However, Tomokazu Zhang also has unsatisfactory times. At this year's Paris Olympics, he unexpectedly exited the men's singles competition and did not even enter the top 8. Some say he's a flash in the pan, but I think it's a bit premature. After all, he is only 21 years old, and he is on the rise!

The media's evaluation of Tomokazu Zhang is also mixed. "Sports Weekly" once praised him as a "rising star in table tennis", and is expected to become the world's No. 1 after Ma Long and Fan Zhendong. But there are also those who say that he relies too much on strength and that his skills are not well-rounded. Anyway, I think this young man is still very powerful, and our Chinese team can't take it lightly!

The persistence and breakthrough of Hong Kong veterans

Let's talk about Huang Zhenting, this Hong Kong veteran is not simple. He was once ranked in the top 10 in the world and had a brilliant record in both singles and doubles. The most powerful thing is that he has also defeated the players of the Chinese team many times in the competition!

Wong Chun-ting's coach Lau Kwok-tung once said: "Wong Chun-ting is one of the best athletes in the history of Hong Kong table tennis. "It's true that it's not easy to maintain such a high level of performance at this age.

Age is a real issue, though. In the last 4 fights with Zhang Benzhihe, Huang Zhenting has lost. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to turn the situation around. But I think Huang Zhenting's performance is already great, and it teaches young people a lesson!

An important stage for international competitions

When it comes to the WTT China Grand Slam, this is an important event! Not only is the prize money huge, but you can also get Olympic points. For an outsider like Tomokazu Zhangmoto, this is simply a great opportunity to show his strength.

At last year's WTT Singapore Grand Slam, Tomokazu Zhang finished second. This time in China, he definitely wants to go further. But then again, playing at the home of the Chinese team, it is not easy for foreign association players to win the championship!

I heard that this tournament also invited a lot of retired table tennis celebrities to watch the tournament. Watching the new and old players compete together, they must be full of emotion, right? Table tennis is getting more and more exciting!

The future of table tennis

Tomokazu Zhang won this time, but who can say for sure in the future? I remember that in 2019, Tomokazu Zhang defeated Fan Zhendong in the World Cup. It scared everyone out of the way! However, later the Chinese team did targeted training, and Zhang Benzhihe was not so good.

In the final analysis, table tennis is still our national sport in China. Although Tomokazu Zhang is very powerful, the overall strength of the Chinese team is still stronger. Take the recent Asian Games as an example, didn't the Chinese team still win all the gold medals?

But having said that, the emergence of foreign association masters like Zhang Benzhihe has also brought new challenges and motivation to Chinese table tennis. Competition is the only way to promote progress! I think the table tennis world will definitely be more exciting in the future.

Personal reviews

As a table tennis fan, I think this game is really enjoyable to watch! Tomokazu Zhang's speed and strength, and Wong Chun-ting's experience and technique, are a feast for the eyes. Although Tomokazu Zhang won in the end, Huang Zhenting's performance is also worthy of praise.

But to be honest, I'd rather see Chinese players win on the international stage. After all, table tennis is our national sport! I hope that the young players of the Chinese team can continue to work hard and achieve better results in future competitions.

epilogue

This game allows us to see the epitome of the replacement of the old and the new in the table tennis world. Tomokazu Zhang represents the rise of a new generation, while Wong Chun-ting shows the resilience of a veteran. Table tennis is a sport that is always full of surprises and suspense! Who do you think will become the new king of table tennis in the future? Let's wait and see!
