Liu played three games a day yesterday, which was very hard for an old future who had just returned from injury. In the first game, she defeated Gu Yuting 3-0 and successfully achieved the goal of advancing to the quarterfinals of women's singles. But in the next two games, she first lost to Zhou Yu/Chen Xingtong 2-4 with Xu Xin; That night, the women's singles 1/4 final lost to Zhu Yuling 0-4, ending this simulated Olympic tour.
Although the result is not satisfactory, it has basically achieved the goal set by Liu before the game. After all, it is still in the adjustment period after injury recovery, and it is unrealistic to return to the state of 100% immediately.
After several days of competition, Liu's body has produced a certain fatigue reaction, and the summary of the competition is helpful for the preparation of the next stage.
There are three players in the men's singles Guangdong team, among whom Fan Zhendong and Zhou played well and successfully advanced to the semi-finals, especially Zhou, who defeated the powerful Liang Jingkun 4-2 with a score of 1/4 in the final.
It's a pity that Lin won all the first three games in the group stage, and lost 3-0 to the enemy in the final round, so he was not as good as Fang Bo because of the disadvantage of the winning and losing relationship, and failed to advance to the quarterfinals of men's singles. Fortunately, Lin beat the No.3 seed Wang He 4-2 in the mixed doubles with her and entered the semi-finals.

Fan Zhendong's opponent in the men's singles 1/4 finals was the big black horse Hainan 16-year-old Lin Shidong. He beat Xu Xin 3-2 in the group stage and got the right to qualify.
Because he didn't know much about his opponent, Fan Zhendong was once in a passive position in previous competitions. Fortunately, the top seed responded in time on the court and finally reversed, advancing to the men's singles semi-finals with 4-2. Fan Zhendong said after the game that there were many things to sum up in this game, especially in the first game, his layout was disrupted by one or two good goals of his opponent, which was very fatal.
Lin Shidong is a burly man who is very similar to Fan Zhendong in the past, so he is called "Xiao Pang". He also regards Fan Zhendong as an idol. Playing with idols, Lin Shidong has no burden, just goes all out to fight.
For Lin Shidong's worship, Fan Zhendong said with a smile that "there is a lot of pressure". "China has always had this good tradition, but when it comes to the game, we still have to try our best to beat our opponents. This kind of healthy competition is very good for preparing for the Olympic Games and stimulating potential.
