7 14th, 2022 WTT Star Challenge Budapest, men’s singles top 32 match: Malone VS Felix

Malone is 33 years old, an unprecedented double-lap Grand Slam player. Always be prepared to accept the impact of the new generation of players.

The 15-year-old French teenager Felix is ​​a straight skater. I come from a table tennis family, and my father, uncle, and brother are all table tennis players.

In the top 16 of the men's doubles yesterday, Ma Long/ and Wang Chuqin partnered up to defeat the brothers Felix/Alex.

In the first game , the two sides remained in a stalemate until 8-8. The young man

is very hard-working and takes the initiative to take action whenever he gets the chance. He is not afraid at all. The forehand and backhand are very balanced, and he dares to challenge Malone.

The key point was Malone's serving round. The return ball was lightly pulled on the board. Felix did not use the force and the return ball went out of bounds.

Afterwards, the two sides held a stalemate for many shots. Ma Long played too conservatively. Unexpectedly, his opponent's stalemate ability was not weak. During the stalemate, Malone tried to turn his forehand, but both mistakes were made.

In the end, Felix scored 3 points in a row and won the first game 11-9.

In the second game, Malone strengthened the use of his forehand and led 3-1.

However, Malone, who had been away from the field for a long time, was obviously not in the best condition and made mistakes. He was chased 3-3 by his opponent.

Malone still insisted on being versatile and did not let the young player get too comfortable returning the ball. After the child lost the ball, he screamed in anger.

Malone expanded its lead 9-4 and regained the game 11-6, with the two sides fighting 1:1.

In the third game, Malone got 6 game points 6-1, 7-2, 8-3, 10-4, and finally won another game 11-7, leading by a big score of 2:1.

Malone gradually adapted to the opponent's rhythm, and the young player's initial momentum was almost exhausted by Malone, making a lot of mistakes.

Malone just needs to work harder and not give his opponent a chance to breathe, and winning will not be a big problem.

In the fourth game , the two sides took multiple shots and did not take advantage, but instead made their opponents more energetic.

Malone mainly scores points through his serving wheel and control of the first three boards.

Malone 3-1, 3-3, 4-4, 4-7, 6-7, the teenager requested a timeout.

After 7-7, Malone failed to grasp the serving round. Felix defended in a straight line and forehand at a wide angle, scoring 2 points in a row.

Felix's serving round also missed a good opportunity, and Malone chased the score to 9-9.

Felix's return ball went out of bounds, and Malone got the match point 10-9.

Malone's return ball hit the net and went out of bounds, 10-10.

Malone received the serve and pulled sideways out of bounds, 10-11.

Malone served and attacked to score, 11-11.

Felix once again broke through from Malone's forehand position and got the game point at 12-11.

Felix twisted and wiped the net out of bounds, 12-12.

The two sides were in a stalemate for many shots, and Malone won, winning the match point for the second time at 13-12.

Felix made a mistake in receiving the serve, and Malone won the last game 14-12 with no risk, winning with a big score of 3:1 and advancing to the top 16 of the men's singles.

Malone has not participated in a formal game for a long time, and his condition needs to be restored. During the game, as the game progresses, Malone can make timely adjustments. At the same time, it is also a blessing for the sport of table tennis that the French youngster can interpret the straight play to such an extent.
