On September 18, 2022, the table tennis WTT Kazakhstan Tournament is about to end, and the singles final ended. German cutter Firus, a men's singles, reversed Chinese Taipei star Lin Yunru 4-3, and made a big upset. Japanese star Hayata Shina defeated Portuguese player Fu Yu 4-1. 25 Chinese table tennis players participated in the singles competition. The best result was that Liang Yankai reached the semi-finals, and the overall result was worse than expected.
Lin Yunru is familiar to everyone. He ranked 7th at the age of 21. He once won the Olympic mixed doubles bronze medal and was the third place in the men's table tennis world cup. He has long been the main opponent of the national table tennis team. Lin Yunru's playing style is very flexible and is good at limiting his opponents through rhythm changes. At the same time, his board quality is extremely high, and backhand twisting has become the main scoring method, but the forehand is worse and it is easy to become the opponent's breakthrough.
Felus is the main player of the German team. He ranked 32nd at the age of 34. He has participated in major competitions with the team many times and has rich experience. It is worth mentioning that Ferus's chopping balls are very good and his forehands are basically offensive. Ferus once defeated Lin Yunju and reached the men's singles final, but eventually lost to Zhang Benzhihe to win the runner-up. Ferus lost to the team World Table Tennis Championships lineup, which made fans feel regretful.
in the first game, Lin Yunru played steadily and took a 7-3 lead. He was well prepared before the game. He was able to easily deal with Firus's attack. Firus chased points continuously at the end of the game. Lin Yunru withstood the pressure and took the lead 11-7. Firus showed full resilience in the second game, saving the game point and tied 10. At the critical moment, Lin Yunru took the initiative to change the line and scored 2 points in a row to win another game 12-10.
Lin Yunru took advantage of the situation to pursue the situation in the third game. Although Firus was very fighting spirit, there was a gap in the overall strength of the two. Lin Yunru widened the score difference and took an 8-4 lead. Lin Yunru scored many times with his backhand twist. Firus lacked a response strategy. As a special play, there are still limitations in cutting the ball, especially Lin Yunru's playing style is very smart, he grasped the initiative in the game, and easily won 11-7.
Next, Phirus fought back and took the initiative as long as he had the chance, hoping to bring more pressure to his opponent. Lin Yunru suddenly dropped, Phirus made a strong move in the future, and scored three consecutive games 11-7, 11-9, and 11-5. Firus led the lead in the decisive game, and finally ended the game 11-7, 0-3 behind and won four consecutive games, completing a big reversal. Lin Yunru lost the championship, but failed to grasp the great advantage.
Judging from the performance of this site's events, Firus is fully capable of participating in the team World Table Tennis Championships. The German team still has the opportunity to adjust the list. It is worth looking forward to whether Firus can be shortlisted by then. Lin Yunju needs to summarize. It is indeed not necessary to lead 3-0 and lose four consecutive games.
