The WTT Doha Regular Challenge ended the competition for all events in the early morning of January 21st, Beijing time. In this competition, the Chinese team Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha climbed to the top podium of the mixed doubles competition. This is their second mixed doubles championship this season after the WTT Doha Star Challenge.
Previously at the WTT Doha Star Challenge, the National Table Tennis Team delivered a very good performance, winning all five events. Subsequently, the National Table Tennis Team returned to China for winter training and made targeted improvements to the problems exposed in the game. Build momentum for the Busan Team World Table Tennis Championships. However, the two mixed doubles pairs of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu stayed in Doha and continued to participate in the WTT Doha Regular Challenge. The two Chinese pairs fought their way through the competition and successfully met in the mixed doubles final.
The two Chinese pairs have played against each other many times before, winning and losing, and are very familiar with each other. The final process was full of ups and downs, and everyone brought out their best.
In the first game, the two sides fought hard to separate each other. Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu took the lead to get the game point, while Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha pressed forward step by step and successfully caught up to 9-10. At this time, Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu immediately used their only timeout right. We hope to achieve a quick victory by adjusting our tactics. After the game restarted, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha successfully tied the score, but failed to seize the opportunity at the critical moment and lost to Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu 10-12. In the second game, Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu were more proactive on the court and moved relatively faster. Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha had been in a passive state and lost another game 9-11.
In the third game, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha fought against the odds. Although they took the lead at the beginning, Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu soon recovered the lead and once forced them into a desperate situation. At the critical moment, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha showed no mercy, and they fought back to regain the set 12-10. In the fourth game, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha sounded the counterattack horn and won 11-5 cleanly.
In the fifth game, the two sides returned to the same starting line and were tied at 15-15 without giving in. In the end, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha seized the opportunity and scored two points in a row, ending the game 17-15.
Table tennis mixed doubles has become an official event at the Tokyo Olympics. In the mixed doubles final of the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese pair Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen narrowly lost to the Japanese pair Shutani Mizutani/Mima Ito and unfortunately won the silver medal. Coming to the Paris cycle, the Chinese team has strengthened its research on the mixed doubles project in a targeted manner. Currently, the Chinese team occupies two of the top three mixed doubles combinations in the world. Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha ranks first in the world, and Lin Shidong/Kui Man ranks first. Third, there are also relatively strong combinations such as Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu. Although these relatively young Chinese pairs have reached high positions in the world rankings, compared with other overseas pairs that have been paired for a long time and have rich competition experience, they still need to further hone their skills and tactics through actual combat and improve their game control capabilities.
