In the men's singles final of the WTT Kazakhstan Almaty Challenge, the number one seed from Taipei, Lin Yunru was crazy about being reversed by German veteran shaking player Firus, who lost the championship while leading 3-0. This 21-year-old national table tennis rival had unlimited potential as early as Tokyo Olympic cycle, but the Paris cycle seemed to have little progress. The weakness in strength was still exposed when losing to Phirus. Although Wei Qingguang, the 60-year-old Seoul Olympic men's doubles champion, was hired as a coach, the stubborn problem in strength was not a mentality flaw. No matter how famous the coach was, the athletes had to get out of the predicament and change the status quo.
Zhang Benzhihe and Lin Yunru are two strong opponents born in the 2000s that the Chinese men's table tennis team encountered in the Tokyo cycle. The two defeated the main players of the national table tennis team many times in the international arena. Among them, at the 2018 Japan Open, Zhang Benzhihe, who was only 15 years old, narrowly defeated the Grand Slam winner Zhang Jike and won the men's singles championship. In the 2019 World Cup, Zhang Benzhihe and Lin Yunru both broke through the Grand Slam winner Ma Long level and won the runner-up and third place in the men's singles respectively. It is predicted that these two strong opponents born in the 2000s will be one of the most important opponents in the next 10 years.
is different from Zhang Benzhihe's crazy violence. Lin Yunru's style of playing is gentle and elegant, and he is used to playing some rhythm balls. He likes playing with a big hit. In the stalemate, the connection between the first few boards often achieves the speed of the flowing water. While the opponent's foothold is not stable, he continues to have a wave of magical operations, which makes the opponent overwhelmed. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics , Lin Yunju's outstanding performance was also praised by the outside world. He bravely entered the top four in men's singles competition. He is also the first time in history that the top four table tennis men's singles players born in the 2000s. He joined hands with Zheng Yijing and to win a bronze medal. Currently, he ranks 7th in the world of men's singles and ranks first in the world of mixed doubles.
Lin Yunru has distinct characteristics and outstanding shortcomings, that is, the stalemate stage, the more cricket , once they meet power players like Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun, Lin Yunru often can't stand it. In 2021 World Table Tennis Championships , he lost to his opponent in a surprise. The strength of the Korean team has always been well trained. In order to overcome the bottleneck period and continue to improve the results of the competition, Lin Yunru hired Wei Qingguang, the men's doubles champion of the 1988 Seoul Olympics, as the head coach, to change his previous training ideas and methods, and also get the joy of the Olympic champion. Wei Qingguang's straight slap with his left hand, and the forehand and the first three boards are his slaughterhouse. I hope Lin Yunru can get the true pass from his master and improve the shortcomings of his past forehand. In the men's singles final with Firus, it can be seen that Lin Yunru's forehand became increasingly weak and weak in the end, and his strength was weak. In the past games, he won the ball with his backhand accounted for 80% of the score. The forehand was absolutely not strong enough. When he met a chopper, he became the last one. After all, he still relied on the forehand to solve the score.
