There is only one day left before the Doha men's finals, Wang Chuqin is not only a favorite to win the finals, but also Wang Chuqin is also the men's singles champion of the last Xinxiang finals.
The first round opponent of Wang Chuqin in the Doha finals is Felix Lebrun, who is the first core player of French men's table tennis and is only 17 years old.
And in the Lanzhou Star Challenge, Felix also defeated Lin Shidong, the new generation of Chinese men's table tennis, and finally played the men's singles semifinals, so Wang Chuqin did meet an opponent with extraordinary strength in the first round of the finals, and for Wang Chuqin, Felix is also different from other foreign opponents such as Zhang Benzhihe and Qiu Dang.
Before this Doha finals, Wang Chuqin had never played against Felix, so Wang Chuqin was also very unfamiliar with Felix's style of play, and it was definitely not as familiar with Felix as Ma Long, who had already had several encounters, and the first round of the finals Wang Chuqin and Felix was not only a strong matchup, but also an encounter that was unfamiliar with each other's playing style.
In addition to Felix, the opponent in the first round, Wang Chuqin's other difficulties this time are other opponents in the same division as himself, especially Wang Chuqin's lower half of the region has Lin Yunru and Liang Jingkun, these two players will meet in the first round, no matter who advances, they may become Wang Chuqin's opponents in the semifinals.
Lin Yunru won the men's singles championship in the Frankfurt Championship not long ago, and he defeated Wang Chuqin and Ma Long to win the championship.
And Liang Jingkun is an opponent who really has the upper hand over Wang Chuqin in the past, Wang Chuqin once admitted that he is more inferior to Liang Jingkun's fight, the most recent encounter was in the 23 Xinxiang Championship, when Liang Jingkun defeated Wang Chuqin with a score of 3:0, if Wang Chuqin meets Liang Jingkun in the semifinals, Wang Chuqin encounters difficulties are also not small.
Including Wang Chuqin's opponent in the second round of the men's singles quarterfinals is also very strong, the opponent will be the winner between Ocharov and Zhang Benzhihe, although these two foreign players and Wang Chuqin's past confrontation is very unpopular, but the game is changing rapidly and the finals are very fast, and Wang Chuqin in the finals is difficult and stressful, no matter who advances to the second round, Wang Chuqin is very competitive.
