WTT World Cup finals first day Lin Gaoyuan was eliminated. In the duel with 41-year-old veteran Boer , Lin Gaoyuan was reversed by his opponent 2-3, and he missed the men's singles quarterfinals for two consecutive games. Boer will fight Benzhihe next. Lin Gaoyuan was out of this game and was very regrettable. He fell behind 1-7 in the first game and reversed 11-9. Unfortunately, Boer won two consecutive games next time. He finally won the fourth game and dragged the game into the decisive game. However, Lin Gaoyuan was beaten by Boer and lost the decisive game 5-11.
As a 27-year-old player, he should be at the best stage of his career. He was born in 1995 and has always been highly expected by the Chinese table tennis team and fans, hoping that he can stand up and take on more responsibilities, but his performance is indeed not good, especially since July this year, Lin Gaoyuan's performance has been very sluggish in the past three months. Budapest reached the men's singles final and was reversed by Zhang Benzhihe 4-3. Although Chengdu team World Table Tennis Championships won the championship, he played not many times and was not the three main players. The first round of the Macau Championship and the World Cup finals were both first rounds, losing to Liang Jingkun and Boer.
plus the last two rounds of games were defeated in decisive games, one was 2-11, and this time it was 5-11 and was taken away by the opponent in a wave of 5-11. At the critical moment, Lin Gaoyuan fell out again, which also made many fans feel regretful. 27 years old is the best stage for players, but Lin Gaoyuan's performance has always been poor and he can't withstand the pressure at critical moments.
In addition to Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun was suspended this time, and his 2022 game has been reimbursed. Liang Jingkun's popularity plummeted and his reputation declined due to a series of things on and off the court. Even though he ranks fourth in the world, he is a very controversial player.
For Liu Guoliang , the Paris Olympic cycle itself is very short. Next year, Hangzhou Asian Games will be the Olympics the year after, so Liu Guoliang is eager to have players stand up during this period. From the current perspective, Fan Zhendong is the world's number one, the absolute overlord, and has excellent foreign record. Wang Chuqin has also ushered in a transformation. Not only are the doubles outstanding, but he has also won the championship many times in singles. Malone just celebrated her birthday. Although she is older, she is still full of R&F and must persist until the Paris Olympics.
After Lin Gaoyuan performed poorly, had poor foreign record, and Liang Jingkun's controversy, young players did not grow up, so when the Paris Olympic cycle is in the Paris Olympics, it is very likely that they will continue to count on veteran Malone. Unlike the women's team, the men's national table tennis team has indeed encountered some problems.
