In contrast, Fan Zhendong is a bit tired! She had played two rounds in Singapore before, but of course it wasn't poor strength, but Fan Zhendong was a bit tired. She has been in the first place for the past few years, and has played countless matches, and her shoulder and knee are a bit injured. Therefore, we should give Fan Zhendong more time to adjust:There are still four months to go before the opening of the Paris Olympics. Don't worry!
Let's talk about Hugo! Because Hugo was a South American player, Hugo regularly swept thousands of armies to win various titles at the Pan American Games! Of course, Hugo was also an up and down player. If you played well, no one could stop it. When you played poorly, you were often out early:
In May 2023, Hugo competed in the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban. He was the 6th seed. In the 1/64 final, he lost to unknown Brian Avanador! At the WTT Men's Finals in Doha on January 3 of this year, Hugo lost 2-3 to Aruna of Nigeria and stopped the Men's Singles 1/8 finals. Hugo then stopped the Men's Singles 1/8 finals in the WTT Star Challenge on January 12th. The opponent was Kew Party of Germany, 1-3!
Hugo then announced that he would not participate in the World Table Tennis Championships team event in Busan, South Korea! Then, at the WTT Singapore Grand Slam on March 11, Hugo lost 1-3 in the men's singles 1/32 finals to the lower-ranked Cho Dae Sung of Korea!
And what if Hugo draws? For example, this time in Incheon, Korea, Hugo seemed to find a rhythm--
When he came up, he beat the famous Japanese player Takasuke Togami 3-2! Then Hugo turned it on: consecutive defeats against the French Lebrun brothers: first, he beat his brother Alex Lebrun, with a score of 3-1! Then he faced his brother Felix Lebrun, with a clean 3-0!
Fan Zhendong looks a bit tired facing Hugo. A little tired! But Fatty's attitude to the game never said that! What Fan Zhendong needs is time to adjust to being down 0-3 for two games! We're sure there will be a bloody Fatty at the Paris Olympics! In the meantime, Chinese men's table tennis should also keep an eye on Japan, Korea, the Leblanc brothers and Hugo!
