On July 21, Beijing time, the Budapest Station of the table tennis WTT Championship started a men's singles eight-to-four-four competition. Chinese team player Liang Jingkun failed to reverse while falling behind 0-2, losing 2-3 to the famous Chinese Taipei star Zhuang Zhiyuan missed the semi-finals. After the game, the Taiwanese media " United News Network " reported with the title "Zhuang Zhiyuan returned to the semi-finals, and mainland netizens said they played 18 years old."
The article introduces Taiwan's 41-year-old "father of table tennis", Zhuang Zhiyuan is full of momentum, saved 4 match points in the decisive game, withstood the pressure and defeated Liang Jingkun, the third-ranked Chinese player in the world, while the Chinese team head coach Qin Zhijian on the sidelines' face was solemn. The article also reposted comments from Chinese netizens: Qin Zhijian, who has white hair on both sides, looks 60 years old, but is actually only 46 years old, so let Coach Qin worry less. It can be seen that for the Chinese Taipei team, it is happier to be able to defeat the Chinese team in the table tennis match than to win the championship.
Table Tennis Tour Budapest Station semi-finals will be held in the early morning of the 23rd. Zhuang Zhiyuan's next round opponent is still Chinese player Lin Gaoyuan (Lin Gaoyuan ranked 20th in the world). I don’t know if 41-year-old Zhuang Zhiyuan can withstand the impact of 27-year-old Lin Gaoyuan. At that time, CCTV will also broadcast the game live. As Lin Gaoyuan, the only remaining Chinese team in the semi-finals, let us cheer for Lin Gaoyuan together.
