The first match of the quarterfinals of the China Table Tennis Open is Ye Hao VS Wang Liqin.

Half an hour before the start of the game, the stadium was already packed, and the game attracted a large number of fans to watch the game. All the athletes and coaches of the national table tennis who did not have the task of the competition also came to the scene to watch the game. A battle of the spotlight is about to begin!

This is the first real challenge Ye Hao has encountered since his comeback, and this is a great opportunity for Ye Hao to prove his strength!

At the beginning of the first game, Ye Hao served first, looked at Wang Liqin on the opposite side, and the idea in his heart was very clear, that is, to catch the opponent's backhand. Wang Liqin is a right-handed horizontal racket player (Ye Hao cheered: "Finally let me meet a right-handed gripper!") The style of play is dominated by a strong forehand curve ball. So compared to his extremely strong forehand, the backhand is his weak point. It just so happened that Ye Hao was now holding the racket with his left hand, so his forehand happened to be on the backhand attacking Wang Liqin.

Looking at the table tennis ball flying towards his backhand, Wang Liqin flicked a board and sent the ball to Ye Hao's backhand, of course, his original intention was the same as Ye Hao, hoping to fight the opponent's backhand with his forehand.

However, Ye Hao is different from Wang Liqin in that his backhand is stronger and more aggressive. So after Ye Hao saw Wang Liqin's return ball, he immediately rushed to the board with his backhand!

The ping pong ball rushed towards the middle of the opposite table at a breakneck speed. Wang Liqin was a little unprepared, he quickly turned sideways and wanted to pull a board back with his forehand. However, although Wang Liqin successfully pulled the ball back to the opposite table in the end, due to insufficient preparation, the power of the return ball was not large and the speed was not fast enough.

This gave Ye Hao enough time to adjust and prepare, he waited sideways early, just waiting for the ball to fall to his own table, and immediately made a forehand force, and rushed towards Wang Liqin's backhand again!

This time, Wang Liqin wanted to use his backhand to defend a board too late, his racket had just been swung, the ping-pong ball had already fallen to the table, and then flew straight to the ground.

1:0, the first point was won by Ye Hao! Although it was only three short rounds, the level of excitement of this goal was very high. Chen Qi, Hao Shuai and Ma Long of the Chinese table tennis team, who were watching the game seriously outside the court, couldn't help but talk about it.

"That's the difference between me and the world's best singles!" Although Chen Qi has already won the men's doubles title at the Olympic Games, he is eager to make a bigger breakthrough in the singles event, after all, the doubles competition has been replaced by the team competition at the capital Olympics two years later.

"Now it seems that I am still not Ye Hao's opponent!" This is Ma Long's inner confession, Ye Hao has always been the goal he wants to strive to surpass, but now it seems that the gap is still very big.

On the second ball, Ye Hao continued to serve to Wang Liqin's left position, forcing him to catch the ball with his backhand. Wang Liqin looked at the incoming ball that rushed to his backhand position again, and already understood in his heart that Ye Hao was going to smash his backhand in this game.

Sideways, Wang Liqin can only choose to turn sideways, no matter how difficult it is! As long as he doesn't want to be too passive, as long as he doesn't want his weakness to be grabbed by Ye Hao, Wang Liqin must take the risk and forcibly turn sideways!

Wang Liqin's forehand strength is really extraordinary, even if the center of gravity of his body is unstable due to the forced sideways, the quality of his forehand arc ball is still guaranteed, and the table tennis ball rotates at high speed and flies towards Ye Hao's middle.

Ye Hao was also a little surprised by Wang Liqin's forced sideways pullback, but the ball had already come, and he didn't have time to think about it, and his forehand was also pulled back with a curved ball.

The two started the first long multi-shot round of the whole game, and in the midst of the stalemate, Wang Liqin gradually grasped the initiative, and the nickname "Dali" was not called in vain, and his forehand powerful arc ball was full of aggression. Ye Hao couldn't resist it a little.

Eight rounds later, Wang Liqin pulled a strong arc ball again, Ye Hao made a mistake when he wanted to continue to pull back, the racket was not suppressed, and the table tennis ball flew into the sky.

1:1, the first two goals were tied.

In the first game and the rest of the game, both of them insisted on their own tactical play, Ye Hao attacked the opponent's backhand, and Wang Liqin tried to drag the game into a forehand confrontation. The two sides go back and forth, and the score rises alternately.

2：2，

4：3，

5：6

7：7，

9：9，

At the end of the game, the two were still tied, and the next two goals were crucial. Both of these balls were served by Ye Hao.

On the first ball, Ye Hao looked at the opponent's position to the left, with a posture of defending himself against his own backhand. So at this moment, Ye Hao decided to take a risk, sneak attack Wang Liqin's forehand, a topspin out of the long ball, very fast, very hidden!

It wasn't until the last moment of the serve that Wang Liqin judged the direction of the ball, and he was taken aback. "Sneak attack! Forehand empty! ”

However, when Wang Liqin came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to the right side, it was already too late! Ye Hao's serve had already landed on the table, and then quickly bounced away.

At 10:9, Ye Hao's sneak attack was successful, and the serve scored directly.

"Holy! Ye Hao is so bold that he dares to give Brother Dali's forehand a long ball! ”

"yes, but he made it! This is the boldness of the artist. ”

"If Wang Liqin hadn't stood too far to the left, there wouldn't have been so much space in the forehand direction!"

"There's no way, all the time before this game, Ye Hao is going for his backhand."

……

The discussion outside the court was very lively, the game on the court continued, Ye Hao started his second serve, this time he honestly continued to send the ball to Wang Liqin's middle left position, and did not make any more dangerous moves. After all, Wang Liqin is not stupid, he grows wise, and his position is no longer as far to the left as the previous goal, but takes into account his forehand position.

Wang Liqin continued to choose to use his sideways to extend the hair, and he pulled the ball up first. Ye Hao then pulled a fast board and attacked the opponent's left table. However, Wang Liqin had already prevented Ye Hao from attacking his backhand, and after moving quickly in small steps, he successfully caught the ball with a sideways forehand and a powerful backhand.

The ball then entered Wang Liqin's mode, and the two began to pull forehands. One round, two rounds, three rounds,......, until ten rounds down, there was still no winner.

Wang Liqin's continuous attack, although it brought a great threat to Ye Hao's defense, and there were several dangers during the period, but they were finally resolved by Ye Hao one by one.

"I have to take the initiative to attack, otherwise I don't have any chance to defend it except for waiting for the opponent's mistake!" Ye Hao made up his mind and prepared to fight!

When Wang Liqin's powerful arc ball came again, Ye Hao did not continue to choose to use his forehand to pull sideways, but prepared to use his backhand to catch the opponent's ball. In the flash of light, Ye Hao's left forearm and wrist exerted force at the same time, twisting the racket hard, and the ping-pong ball was rubbed heavily, and then flew in a straight line to the right corner of the opposite table.

Backhand twisting! Go straight! Ye Hao's fight was successful! Wang Liqin didn't expect that in the process of forehand pulling, Ye Hao would dare to fight like this, and the quality of the fight was so high!

At 11:9, the first game was finally won by Ye Hao with difficulty.
