The top 8 men's singles in direct competition were released: Fan Zhendong "refined his heart", the Dragon Team was more concentrated, and the Python "owed the game"

In the signing table released last night, four Olympic singles players, Fan Zhendong, Malone, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, respectively defended the first half of men's singles and women's singles. Judging from the competition, there is little suspense for them to pass the first round, but with the progress, the competition is bound to become more and more fierce. In Fan Zhendong's half, there were strong players such as Lin and Zhou, and in Malone's second half, Liang Jingkun and Xu Xin were also quite threatening.

Sure enough, Fan Zhendong and Malone beat Zhang Yudong and Liang Yanzhu 4-0 respectively.

After a quick victory, Fan Zhendong thought the first two games were the key to the game: "I struggled in the first two games, and Zhang Yudong played some characteristics, but his whole game was just so-so. After I won the first two games, the confidence of the other side was almost the same. " Fan Zhendong admitted that he was not in good form before the game. "The game feels ordinary. Before playing, I just wanted not to entangle too much, so I served several long balls today and won several games in a row. The strategy worked. I will take the initiative to form a stalemate when I feel a little uncomfortable, so that I can play more comfortably in the future. "

Before the competition, Guo Ping announced the entry list of the Tokyo Olympic Games during training in Xiamen. While maintaining technical training every day, Fan Zhendong also focused on targeted training for the inner changes after the announcement of the list. "In Xiamen, I practice more from the heart. I am looking forward to the process and results of the Olympic selection. I hope I can control my emotions and my inner fluctuations. It is the first time that I have such an opportunity to stand in such a position and accept these tests. Many things are being studied and sorted out. I will also consult experienced athletes, but I will focus on my own feelings. When necessary, I will communicate if I am not sure about the settlement. " Fan Zhendong said in detail.

The announcement of the Olympic list also made Malone feel glory, pressure and responsibility. "First of all, I thank the team for continuing to trust me and let me host the Olympic Games. I also hope that I can cherish the opportunity and seize the training time. " He stressed that "you can't lie on the credit book. Only by continuing to work hard can we keep up with the rhythm of the team. "

Malone reviewed his performance in the through train race at Xinxiang Station. He made no secret of his worse performance in the confrontation in the last game. When talking about the training in Xiamen, he said: "People are more concentrated, because we have to prepare for the competition in Nanyang Station and practice more fully. It's getting closer and closer to the Olympic Games now. I hope I can calm down and concentrate more. " In this competition, Malone participated in men's doubles with Xu Xin in addition to singles. "The Olympic team has doubles. I hope that the two of us can run in this rare competition and strengthen training. "

Another Olympic athlete, Xu Xin, also successfully passed the first round of singles. He beat Liu Dingshuo 4-0 and advanced to the quarter-finals. Xu Xin also expressed satisfaction with his performance. "Liu Dingshuo and I don't know how to play. It should be said that we haven't found such a competitive feeling tonight for a long time. "

Four games a day (including three doubles). Talking about energy and physical strength, Xu Xin said: "I owe the game. The more times you play, the more time you spend on the court, and the shorter the time you will find the feeling of the game. I think playing more games every day is good for me. Although I am very tired, finding the feeling of the game is the most important thing. Before this competition, President Liu and I had an exchange and asked me to keep a low profile. You must dare to play against every young athlete on stage. It is true that carrying baggage will become more and more cautious. "

The top eight men's singles players were all Fan Zhendong, Lin, Wang, Zhou, Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun and He.
