The next day of the 2025 WTT Macau Championship: China 5 players played, 4 wins and 1 loss, Xiang Peng was eliminated unfortunately

On September 10, Beijing time, the second day of the Macau Championship, the Chinese national table tennis team looked like 4 wins and 1 loss, and it was still acceptable in terms of face. Sun Yingsha, Kuai Man and Chen Xingtong all advanced successfully, and Wang Manyu's opponent withdrew directly and entered the top 16.

But this day, I always feel something is wrong.

The problem lies with the men's singles side, Xiang Peng lost.

And the loss of this ball is so frustrating. The opponent is Francisca from Germany. In terms of ranking, Xiang Peng is ranked 9th in the world and 18th in the little one, we have the advantage. In terms of the fight, Xiang Penggang won him 4-2 in the semi-finals of the Incheon Championship not long ago.

No matter how you look at it, it should be a game of steadily winning.

The game started, and it was indeed the same way. The first game was really fierce, and the stalemate was 10-10. Finally, Xiang Peng resisted, 12-10, and won the first game. It feels stable, right?

But the wind direction changed in the second game. Xiao Fu started fighting, and Xiang Peng's rhythm was a little chaotic. Although he chased to 9-9, he failed to bite the key point and was pulled back 9-11.

In the third game, Xiao Fu's momentum came up and the start was 3-0. Xiang Peng kept chasing, but he was just a little short of breath, and it was another 9-11. The score was 1-2 behind, and Xiao Fu won the match point.

At this time, the most magical scene in the whole audience came.

In the fourth game, Xiang Peng suddenly woke up, or in other words, he completely broke out, and directly hit a 7-0 start. Xiao Fu was completely stunned and could not find Bei at all. The final score was frozen at 11-1, and Xiang Peng dragged the game into the decisive game cleanly.

Everyone felt that the fifth game was stable. The momentum and feel are all back. Isn’t it natural to win the game?

But competitive sports are the most unreasonable.

The final game, the two returned to the same starting line. Xiang Peng once led 7-5, and the balance of victory had begun to tilt. But at this critical moment, he was powered off. Continuous points lost were chased to 8-8, and then 10-10.

The heart was almost jumping out, and finally Xiao Fu seized the opportunity and ended the game 12-10.

Xiang Peng, eliminated.

After looking at the post-match data, it makes people feel even more outrageous. Total score, Xiang Peng 51-45, and he scored 6 more points than his opponent! The data of serving and losing points are similar. Even the longest consecutive scores the two scored in this game were 7 points.

The data is not inferior, and even has the advantage, but the result is a loss. What does this mean? This shows that we didn't handle the most critical balls well and were lenient.

This is the most uncomfortable thing. It’s not that you are crushed or that you are not as skilled as others, but that you don’t get enough breath when you can resist it in one breath.

Xiang Peng's exit made the situation of the men's singles in the national table tennis team suddenly become nervous.

On the other hand, the women's team is as stable as Mount Tai. Sun Yingsha, Kuai Man and Chen Xingtong all passed easily. Especially Mia Kawa, who swept Samara 3-0, was a shattering defeat.

As of the 10th game, five of our women's singles have entered the top 16, which is awesome. What about men's singles? Apart from Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong, we will only wait for a few people tomorrow. Xiang Peng lost the defense line directly with one general.

Now, the pressure has all come to Chen Yuanyu and Xue Fei who are about to appear at 11:00 on September 11, Beijing time.

Look at the lottery chart, on the list of people who advanced to the top 16 for men's singles, Hugo, Lin Yunru, and Qiu Dang are not good at it. The men's singles line in the national table tennis team has to be killed every step.

Xiang Peng's game really reminded everyone. No game is stable, especially in this single-elimination competition system. Any negligence may result in going home directly.

It’s time to see if Chen Yuanyu and Xue Fei can’t stand it anymore. There really can’t be anyone else on the men’s singles side.
