In the countdown to the Doha finals, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long gathered, the competition system was revealed, who will be proud of the crowd?
There is only one week left until the Doha Cup final. This is an event attended by 16 top players including Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, and Lin Gaoyuan. And Lin Shidong is the first player of this year. In other words, among the 16 athletes, 6 are from the national table tennis team. Let's take a look at this special list:
In the men's singles, the famous Brazilian athlete Hugo is the main player, ranking fifth. In addition, Chinese Taipei athlete Lin Yunru, French athlete Felix Lebrun, South Korean athlete Zhang Yuzhen, Japanese athlete Tomokazu Zhangmoto, German athletes Ocharov and Darko Joczyk, Nigerian athlete Aruna, and Swedish athlete Anton Carlberg.
There are 8 pairs in the men's event, including: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Lin Gaoyuan, Yuan Licen, Xiang Peng, South Korea's Zhang Yuzhen and Lin Zhongxun, and Japan's Yukiya Uda and Hayasuke TogamiAlex Lebrun Felix Lebrun (Felix Lebrun);Germany Ocharov Francesca;Hong Kong, China's Wong Chun Ting Ho Kwan Kit (Ho Kwan Kit).
Judging from this list, the people who participated in the competition were very good, although Sweden's Moregaard did not advance, but young players such as Lin Yunru, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, and Felix Lebrun participated in the competition, and Ocharov, Qiu Dang, and the top 16 in Europe Darko all participated in the competition.
The score of this race is very impressive, ranking second in the WTT, behind the World Champion, Olympic Champion and 200 points. 1,500 for the first place in the individual competition, 1,050 for the second place, 525 for the semi-finals, 265 for 8, and 16 for 100.
In the individual competition, there is not much difference between the scores of the two people, with 1,500 for the first place, 1,050 for the second place, 525 for the semi-finals, and 100 for the eight places. Because there are only eight pairs in the doubles match, the first game is a quarter-knockout round, and whoever wins all three games will win the championship.
The Grand Finals are played a little differently, with five games of three for the duos, only four games for four, four games for four games, and four games for five games and three wins of five. This requires athletes to adjust their mentality as soon as possible, and if they are too fast, they are likely to fall behind.
The most attractive part of this final is who will win the men's singles championship?In the 2021 National Championships, Fan Zhendong defeated Tomokazu Zhangmoto;In 2022, Wang Chuqin defeated Tomokazu Zhang and won the championship. This means that Tomokazu Zhang has already lost to China in the final. After Zhang Benzhihe defeated Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin at the last Chengdu International Table Tennis Championships, can this session break China's record?
We'll see!
