Faced with this situation, the Japanese media are quite pessimistic, saying that next month's World Table Tennis Championships are likely to lose even worse. In men's singles, the four main players of Japanese team failed to enter the top four, among which Koike Baihui lost to Piero Della Francesca 3-4, Oshima Yu also lost to Xu Xin 2-4, Zhang Benzhi and Volker of Sweden 3-4, and Shuigu Junyi lost to Malone 0-4. Japanese media reported that Shuigujun failed to beat Malone in a game and lost completely. At the same time, Japanese media also pointed out that Malone is still an opponent who can make people feel scared. Oshima Yu also lost to Xu Xin after only playing two games, and Lin defeated Lin Yunru and Fokker one after another. In the future, Lin's threat to the Japanese team should be increased, because Jelly Lin Ru and Fokker both defeated Zhang Benzhihe before.
In women's singles, the Japanese team lost even worse, and only Ito Mikei entered the quarter-finals. Hayata Hina was eliminated from the qualifying round. Ishikawa Kasumi beat Sun Yingsha 0-4 in the first round, and then He Zhuojia beat Hirano Miwoo 4-2. 1/4 in the women's singles final, Ding Ning swept Mikei Ito 4-0, and all three main players of the Japanese team fell under the pat of the table tennis players. Japanese media analyzed the reasons for Japan's table tennis fiasco. Both Zhang Benzhi and Ito Meicheng are fighting on the third line, and their physical strength and energy are affected, so they can't fully play their true level.
In mixed doubles, Japanese media directly said: As long as China sends Liu/Xu Xin, it will definitely win the gold medal in table tennis mixed doubles in Tokyo Olympic Games. Indeed, since Liu and Xu Xin partnered, Liu and Xu Xin have won three consecutive championships and have not lost a game so far, and both of them played very easily during the game. For example, in this Qatar Open, Liu/Xu Xin defeated Ito Meicheng in straight sets, leaving the Japanese team with no hope of winning the championship. Japanese media wrote: This Qatari Open has once again proved that China's hegemonic position is unshakable and it has an absolute advantage in all events. For the Japanese team that wants to make a gold medal breakthrough at the Tokyo Olympic Games next year, it has suffered another blow, and we must see the grim facts in front of us.
