On October 2, the WTT China Grand Slam ushered in its fourth matchday. As the schedule progresses, the competitions in the past few days have become more and more intense, and there are more and more civil wars in the national table tennis team.
Today, a total of 24 national table tennis players participated in 22 matches in 5 events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. Among them, Lin Gaoyuan competed three times a day, and the three main forces of Ma Long, Wang Manyu, and Lin Gaoyuan were still facing a civil war.
On the other hand, the Japanese table tennis team is almost completely wiped out. On October 2nd, they only had 4 games, and there were 2 games in which they met the national table tennis team, so I am afraid that they will not be able to keep it.
The Chinese team is scheduled for the whole day
Today, the Grand Slam tournament will be held in the men's and women's doubles 1/8 finals, the mixed doubles 1/4 finals and the men's and women's singles 1/16 finals, and the competition is still divided into two stages: 11:00 and 18:00. The Chinese table tennis team accounted for 11 of the 17 matches in the morning session, including 3 civil wars.
At 11:00, the doubles match came as scheduled, and the women's doubles sent the No. 2 seeds Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi, and the opponents were Samara and Dragoman from Rome, and the strength of the two sides was still very different.
Sure enough, Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi won the other party 3-0, and the score in every small game was also very large.
In the mixed doubles category, No.2 seeds Lin Shidong/Kuaiman were sent to the first round to automatically qualify for the first round because of their high points, and they swept Japan's Miwa Zhangmoto/Teru Matsushima 3-0 in the previous round.
In the quarter-finals, he met the No. 5 seeds, Ionescu/Szokos from Romcia. At present, the two sides have also finished competing, and Lin Shidong/Kuo Man swept 3-0 again. There was no match at 11:00 in the Men's Doubles group.
At 11:35, the first civil war of today's national table tennis team was ushered in, and the main player Lin Gaoyuan faced off against the teenager Chen Yuanyu. The Chinese team must be a master, so the two of them played a difficult game, playing five games, and there were many high-energy moments in the game.
However, in the end, Lin Gaoyuan was even better, successfully advancing to the men's singles round of 16 3-2, and will face the winner between Grote VS Liao Zhenting in the next round.
It is worth mentioning that after this match, General Kobayashi also has two men's doubles and mixed doubles, and three matches in one day will definitely be a test for him. However, this victory also gave him a confidence boost, and he believes that he can win the next two games.
At 12:10, women's singles teenager Qin Yuxuan vs Huang Yihua of the Chinese Taipei team. Although her fame is not very great, she is also a leader among the younger generation.
This time, she shaved her opponent's head in the 1/16 finals, and in the last game, she directly collapsed the opponent, only allowing her to get one point, and the echelon construction of the women's team is a small achievement.
At 12:45, the men's singles and women's doubles competitions were ushered in. The men's team is played by the big fat Liang Jingkun, and his opponent is Aditya · Salin from Australia.
In three rounds, Aditya · Saline only scored a total of 13 points from Big Fat, 5-11, 6-11, 2-11. So far, another member of the Chinese team has successfully qualified.
At the same time, Women's Doubles No.6 seeds Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi will face Japan's Miwa Zhangmoto/Miyu Kihara.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Benmei and this Grand Slam are both one and three events. Prior to this, she lost to the Chinese team in both the women's singles and mixed doubles events, losing 0-3 to He Zhuojia in the first round of the women's singles, and losing 0-3 to Lin Shidong Kuo Man in the mixed doubles 1/8 finals.
For fear that she would not adapt to China's water and soil, Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi sent her home 3-0 in the just-concluded game. At this point, Zhang Benmei and all three are out, Japan's mixed doubles and women's doubles are also all out, and only Nagasaki Miyu, who forms a multinational combination with Korea, is still struggling to persevere.
Unfortunately, they met the No. 4 seed combination in this round, and if they were lucky enough to win, they would have to play against Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi, who had just eliminated Zhang's group, in the next round.
At 13:20, each of the three matches was played by Chinese. On the women's singles side, Ho Zhuojia and Chen Yi will face Singapore's Zeng Jian and Japan's Miyu Nagasaki.
He Zhuojia only allowed Zeng Jian to score 6 points in three games, and in two of them played a huge advantage of 11-1, and finally shaved the opponent's bald head 3-0.
Chen Yi and Nagasaki Meiyu This group is more intense, Chen Yi lost two games as soon as he came up, but fortunately, he adjusted his mentality in the next three games and won 3-2.
At the same time, there was also a men's doubles civil war of the national table tennis team, the No. 5 seed combination Yuan Licen/Xiang Peng vs Zhou Qihao/Chen Yuanyu, and finally Yuan Licen/Xiang Peng won 3-2.
In the next round, the two will face either No. 3 seeds Lim Jong-hoon/Ahn Jae-hyun (Korea) or Hwang Woo-jung/Seo Young-bin of the national table tennis team, depending on which of them wins.
If the Chinese team wins, it will be another civil war.
At 13:55, the women's doubles group ushered in the civil war, the No. 5 seeds Wang Manyu/Kuo Man VS Qin Yuxuan/Zong Geman. Both groups are strong factions, and both have the strength to reach the semi-finals, but unfortunately the bad luck of the signing led to an early encounter.
What's even more regrettable is that Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi is also in the same half as them, and they will definitely meet in the next round. When the time comes, no matter which pair wins, they will feel sorry for the other group.
Another match in the same time period was the mixed doubles match of Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Yidi. They ran into a multinational combination of Singapore/Chinese Taipei.
There was only a two-hour gap between this match and Lin Gaoyuan's men's singles match, but he quickly recovered his strength and won 3-0 for his second consecutive win today.
So far, all 11 matches of the national table tennis team in the morning have ended, and 11 wins have been achieved, and all members have advanced to the next round.
The Chinese table tennis team accounted for 11 of the 18 matches in the afternoon session, including a mixed doubles civil war and a pair of men's singles civil wars.
At 18:00, Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun will play as partners in the Men's Doubles match against the multinational pair of Lorenzo/Saline (Argentina-Australia).
Although the Chinese team sent two main players, the world ranking is also very high, one first and one fourth. But both are mentally susceptible. If you only look at the strength, you will definitely win easily.
The other match at 18:00 is a mixed doubles match between Yuan Licen/Shi Xunyao and Sweden's Carlsen/Carlberg. This group is certainly also intense, with one group being the No. 8 seed and the other being the No. 4 seed, and it's hard to say who wins or loses.
At 18:15, Chen Xingtong will compete with Du Kaiqin of the Hong Kong team for the top 16 of the women's singles.
At 19:10, Zhou Qihao of the men's team will compete with Ocharov of Germany for a place in the men's singles round of 16, and the winner will face Liang Jingkun in the next round.
At 19:45, the singles match continued. The women's team sent Wang Manyu and the men's team sent the teenager Xu Yingbin, both of whom were not too strong opponents, and there was a 90% chance of successfully advancing to the 1/8 finals.
At 20:20, the golden time of the game sent the Dragons to press the court, and his opponent was the national table tennis teenager Zeng Beixun, and the two were also the fourth civil war today. At the same time, the women's singles will face Germany's Shan Xiaona.
20:55 is the last time slot of the day, and there will be three doubles matches of mixed doubles, men's doubles and women's doubles. It is worth mentioning that all 6 groups of players in the 3 matches are from China.
They are Xiang Peng/Liu Weishan vs Xue Fei/Qian Tianyi in the mixed doubles group; In Men's Doubles, Lin Gaoyuan/Lin Shidong vs Ko Chengrui/Huang Yancheng (Chinese Taipei) and Chen Yi/Xu Yi vs Zhu Chengzhu/Wu Yonglin (Hong Kong).
These three games are definitely the most interesting and fierce three games today, and I have been looking forward to it!
