Korea Table Tennis Open.

The men's team of the Chinese table tennis team sent Ye Hao, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Kong Linghui, Wang Hao and Chen Qi, all of whom were members of the Athens Olympics, either singles or doubles. It can be seen that the meaning of national table tennis training is very obvious.

In the first round, Ye Hao defeated Japan's Arai Zhou 4:0, with a score of 11:6, 11:5, 11:5, 11:3. It's getting easier and easier, there's no way, the opponent's strength is too weak, it's just vulnerable.

In the second round, Ye Hao lost a game and defeated Chinese Taipei's Zhuang Zhiyuan 4:1 (11:7, 11:6, 8:11, 11:6, 11:5).

In the third round, Ye Hao met his teammate, the veteran Kong Linghui, and was taught a good lesson. In the case of winning one game first, the careless Ye Hao was too relaxed, and was beaten twice in a row by Kong Lingshen, and the score was overtaken 2:1. In the crucial fourth game, Kong Linghui showed the demeanor of a Grand Slam winner, took the initiative to attack, and was still not soft at the critical moment when the score reached 8:8, and won the game 11:9.

Kong Linghui, who had a lead in the two games, made persistent efforts, and did not give Ye Hao a chance to turn the tables in the fifth game, 11:7, won cleanly, 1:4, Ye Hao was counterattacked by the big brother and missed the men's singles semifinals of the Korea Open.

In the next two semi-finals, Wang Hao and Wang Liqin defeated their opponents in the finals. Wang Hao defeated South Korea's Yoo Seung-min 4:2 (7:11, 11:7, 13:11, 4:11, 11:5, 11:9), and Wang Liqin defeated Kong Linghui, who eliminated Ye Hao, 4-1, with a score of 11:13, 12:10, 11:7, 11:2, 11:8 in five games.

After the start of the men's singles final, Wang Liqin played well, he won two games 11:9, 11:7, and after Wang Hao pulled back a game at 11:9, Wang Liqin won two more games 11:6 and 11:4. In this way, he defeated teammate Wang Hao with an aggregate score of 4:1 to win the men's singles championship of the Korea Open.

After the Korean Table Tennis Open, the Chinese table tennis team rushed to Singapore non-stop. Three days later, the Singapore Open Table Tennis Championships began.

In the first round, Ye Hao's opponent was South Korea's powerful Wu Shangyin, and when he encountered the opponent's fierce fight, Ye Hao behaved very calmly. 11:8, 11:6, 11:6, 11:7 played four games in a row and beat the opponent lightly.

In the second round, Ye Hao met Li Jing from Hong Kong, China, and continued to play well, without bloodshed, 4:0 (11:8, 11:6, 11:6, 11:5) swept to advance.

In the third round, teammate and fellow countryman Chen Qi brought a lot of trouble to Ye Hao, and when he lost one game first, Ye Hao fought hard to catch up and won two games in a row, and the score became 2:1. However, at this moment, Chen Qi also played in a state and played bloody, gritting his teeth and fighting hard in the fourth game with a score of 13:11. Once again, the two sides were tied. In the next two games, both showed their own powers. Each played a trick and won a game respectively, 3:3, and the game entered the seventh game.

In the deciding game, Ye Hao began to exert his might, leading at the beginning of 4:1, and maintained it until the end, winning the seventh game 11:7 and advancing to the semifinals with a total score of 4:3.

However, in the semifinals, Ye Hao met his teammates again, and this time it was Marin who blocked him from the finals. I have to say that Marin, who is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, if the game goes crazy, no one can stop him. In the first game, Ye Hao took the initiative to attack by virtue of his quick entry into the state, and won the next game before Marin "woke up".

In the second game, Marin, who gradually regained his form, posed a greater threat to Ye Hao, especially his varied serve and return, which made Ye Hao unable to defend. At 11:9, Ye Hao won another game with great difficulty.

The difficult situation in the second game seems to indicate that Ye Hao will be even more difficult to win in the next third game. Although Marin was behind in two games, he was not conservative at all, and his signature sideways forehand rush was used many times, and the success rate was quite high. At 11:8, the winner this time was no longer Ye Hao, but became Marin.

The fourth and fifth games are almost a copy of the third game, and Ma Lin tortured Ye Hao with an unreasonable style of play, so that Ye Hao could not defend and attack. At 11:6 and 11:7, Ma Lin played two more games to complete the overtake in the total score and lead Ye Hao 3:2.

At this time, the side effects of the continuous battle of the two open tournaments began to appear, especially in the last game, Ye Hao and Chen Qi fought for seven games before winning the game. Ye Hao felt physically exhausted at the beginning of the sixth game, and his performance was also greatly affected. Ma Lin took advantage of this bold move and attacked frantically, Ye Hao was "intentional to kill the thief, but he had no power to return to the sky", so he could only swallow the defeat again.

2:4, Ye Hao was once again blocked by his teammates from the finals.

The men's singles final of the Singapore Open Table Tennis Championships was played between two Chinese players. Ma Lin defeated Ye Hao to advance to the final, and Wang Liqin defeated South Korea's Yoo Seung-min 4-2 to reach the final. As a result, Ma Lin took advantage of the momentum of defeating Ye Hao in the previous round, and defeated teammate Wang Liqin with a perverted hand and won the men's singles championship, with a final score of 4:1.

Half a month of competition is over, and here, the Chinese table tennis team has no official competition before the Athens Olympics, and will devote itself wholeheartedly to the closed training camp to prepare for the Olympics.

In these two open tournaments, Ma Lin and Wang Liqin each won a singles championship. In Men's Doubles, it was also a happy one, with Ma Lin/Chen Qi and Kong Linghui/Wang Liqin each winning the Open. In the women's singles, Zhang Yiling showed an extremely strong side, winning two consecutive Open titles. In the women's doubles, the two Chinese pairs also won the championship.

It can be said that except for Ye Hao, all the Olympians in the Chinese table tennis team have won.

"I'm not getting anything!" Ye Hao could only lament alone. The loss of two consecutive races made Ye Hao have to face himself again and analyze the reasons for his failure. Now he has not yet achieved invincibility in the world, and he is not the terrifying demon king in the table tennis world.

"Alas, I've long been accustomed to the taste of victory, and it's really uncomfortable to suddenly taste defeat. I really don't know how Wang Hao survived in his previous life, the Olympic Games are three consecutive Asians, if this were me, I would have collapsed a long time ago. ”

"Nope! No way! I don't want this ending! I want to be the first, only the championship is my pursuit! ”

The continuous losses did not make Ye Hao sinking, on the contrary, he became more combative.
