On the evening of January 11, Beijing time, in the men's singles quarterfinals of the 2024WTT Doha Star Challenge, national table tennis star Zhou Qihao lost to German player Qiu Dang 2-3, with a score of 11-6, 10-12, 4-11, 11-7, 9-11 in five games. In this game, Zhou Qihao played his due level, but Qiu Dang performed better, following last week's WTT year-end finals defeated Lin Shidong and Liang Jingkun, and defeated the national table tennis generals again, which rarely happened before, Qiu Dang broke through the window paper, and another strong rival of national table tennis is coming, and it must be paid great attention to.
Qiu Dang is a German-Chinese player, who plays straight and horizontally, and is the main force of the new generation of the German table tennis team after Boll and Ocharov. Qiu Dang's style of play is the traditional Chinese straight shot, with Wang Hao, Ma Lin as coaches, Xu Xin's fade out, the national table tennis straight shot horizontal play advantage is not there, and now one by one the horizontal shot masters are defeated by Qiu Dang, which is worthy of reflection and summary by the coaching staff.
In last week's year-end finals, Qiu Dang rushed to the semi-finals and lost against the eventual champion, world No. 2 Wang Chuqin-8), and Qiu Dang was interviewed after the game, saying that he had tried his best, but still could not find Wang Chuqin's flaws. He admitted frankly that he could not break through the opponent's defense, and he was convinced in the face of Wang Chuqin's strong performance. That's right, Wang Chuqin is very strong now, and defeated the world's No. 1 Fan Zhendong in the championship battle for the finals, but Qiu Dang is constantly narrowing the gap with us, especially his self-confidence is getting stronger and stronger, if the tiger returns to the mountain, he will bring heavy damage sooner or later, just like the former Ito Misei, Hirano Miyu, Zhang Ben Tomokazu, Lin Yunru, be prepared for danger in times of peace, find countermeasures, and national table tennis can gain an invincible position.
The Paris Olympics is imminent, and there are more and more opponents in the national table tennis, such as Hina Hayata, Miwa Zhangmoto, Misei Ito, Miu Hirano, Shin Yubin, Szokos, etc. in the women's line. The men's line Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru, Moregard, Qiu Dang, etc. are also worthy of targeted study, and only by maintaining sufficient vigilance and strong strength can they have the last laugh in the Olympic Games.
