In the final of this year's table tennis championship, five players from Japan were qualified. Among them, Koki Niwa, who reached the top 8 in the men's singles in the World Table Tennis Championships, has high hopes. However, in the first round, he will face the German star Ochalov, who won the World Cup not long ago and is in a hot state. In the face of such a strong opponent, Koki Niwa can be said to be "running".
Kentai Matsuhira's luck is not much better. The first round will be against China's Xu Xin, who just broke the one-and-a-half-year tour championship drought at the Swedish table tennis open. In the face of Xu Xin, whose strength is obviously superior, Kentai Matsuhei has little chance of winning.
Yukiya Oshima's signing was just as bad. In the first round against the German famous Bohr who defeated many China players in the recent "second spring", the strength of both sides was not at the same level. In addition, the little-known Yasuji Yoshida can't beat China's new generation player Lin.
Among the five Japanese players, only Chinese prodigy Zhang Benzhihe signed a good contract. He faced the host player Grassmick in the first round. As long as he plays normally, he has a good chance of winning. However, if he advances to the second round, he is likely to meet the German star Ochalov.
In this regard, Japanese fans said with emotion: "Japanese men's table tennis played against the Sino-German Coalition forces alone. It would be a shame if the first round was 0-5. It depends on Zhang Ben's players. "
With China in the competition, the Japanese don't want to win the championship.
