Table tennis WTT Macau Championship is in full swing. On the evening of September 10, Beijing time, the No. 6 seed of men's singles Xiang Peng appeared to represent the Chinese team to face Germany's main player Francesca. As a result, Xiang Peng was reversed 2-3 after fighting hard for 5 games. The Chinese table tennis team won 7 singles tickets in the previous two days of the game, including women's singles wins and men's singles two were eliminated. For more details, please see below.
The pressure on the men's singles of the national table tennis team in this site is very high, because it has been wiped out in non-teen international events (WTT Yokohama Championship, WTT Swedish Grand Slam, WTT Almaty regular season) for three consecutive times, and this site has encountered a "opening darkness". National champion Huang Youzheng lost to Nigerian player Aruna in one round, which is regrettable.
Compared with Huang Youzheng, Xiang Peng is ranked higher and has reached the ninth position in the world, but his opponent Francesca is stronger and has defeated the five main players of the Chinese team, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan. However, the only time the two of them was Xiang Peng's victory, so it is still possible for the Warring States Table Tennis to win this.
After the start of the game, the two sides did not make much tests in the first game, and continued to launch a mid-range and long-term attack, and then controlled and counter-controlled around the ball inside the table, and was unable to widen the gap. In the middle, Francesca was affected by the mentality of having differences with the referee, so Xiang Peng seized the opportunity to lead 10-8 but then lost two games in a row. Fortunately, he finally stabilized his position and won 12-10.
Xiang Peng started the second game with a bad start and was suppressed by Francesca's strength. He lost 2 points in a row and scored a counterattack, but was soon pulled back by the opponent. At the critical moment, he chased to 4 through straight attacks and other methods, and then served directly to score 5-4 and forced the German team to use the timeout. After returning to the field, Francesca stubbornly chased to 6, 7 and 9. Xiang Peng then lost 2 points in a row and lost 9-11 and was defeated by the opponent.
Francisca's morale rebounded in the third game, scoring 3 points in a row, and he kept dominating the rhythm of the game since the serve, but after the middle game, he was chased and only 1 point away. At the critical moment, Xiang Peng made more mistakes and fell behind 8-10 and was scored by the opponent. Then he scored directly and failed to pull the ball. As a result, he was overtaken by defeating 9-11, and fell into a desperate situation with a big score of 1-2.
Xiang Peng regained his momentum in the fourth game, and he came up with a small climax, constantly suppressing Francesca to gain a 7-0 lead. He then missed 1 point and continued to play his bravery. After winning 4 goals, he easily defeated the opponent's defense line 11-1. Both sides returned to the same starting line again, and the decisive game battle came from this.
In the fifth game, the two sides still refused to give in on each other, and Francesca's condition also rebounded from the previous game. Although she was behind in the beginning, she quickly chased to 3 and 4. Then Xiang Peng was reversed and suspended for adjustments 4-5, and then overtaken 7-5 and was chased to 8 and 9. At the critical moment, Xiang Peng stubbornly saved 1 match point 9-10, but in the end he lost 10-12, and missed the promotion.
As mentioned earlier, the national table tennis team lost in the first singles match of this site, Huang Youzheng lost to Aruna (Nigeria) 0-3 in the first round, and then Lin Shidong and Wang Chuqin defeated Gao Chengrui (Taipei China) 3-0 and defeated Matsushima Huikong (Japan), and finally Xiang Peng lost 2-3 to Francesca (Germany).
As for the five major players in the women's singles in the national table tennis team, all of which have won. Wang Manyu directly advanced because his opponent Zheng Yijing (Taipei China) withdrew from the competition. Wang Yidi, Kuai Man, Chen Xingtong and Sun Yingsha won 3-0 successivelyGuan Zhuolin (Macau, China), 3-1 defeated Zhu Qianxi (South Korea), 3-0 defeated Zhang An (US), and 3-1 defeated Hessey (Welsh).
The next Chinese table tennis team will have three first round matches on September 11, with the specific arrangements: 11:00 Chen Yuanyu vs. Assal (Egypt), 12:10 Xue Fei vs. Zhang Benzhihe (Japan), 13:55 Chen Yi (China) blocking Jin Naying (South Korea) - I look forward to the Chinese team continuing to win and get 3 tickets to the top 16.
