On the evening of March 26th, Beijing time, the “Straight to Durban” 2023 Chinese Table Tennis Team World Table Tennis Championship Trials (Second Station) continued the first round of men’s and women’s singles group competitions at the Training Bureau of the State Sports General Administration. In the match against young player Cao Wei, Lin Gaoyuan won 3-1 (11-3, 9-11, 11-2 and 11-7).
“Although today’s game is said to be relatively open from the point of view of the score, it is actually not easy to play on the court, because the two people are in the same team and are familiar with each other, so sometimes they have to rely on back and forth and ability to win. I also made a lot of difficult preparations before,” Lin Gaoyuan said in an interview after the game.
During the specific replay, Lin Gaoyuan said that the first two rounds were basically testing the rhythm of the game and the opponent’s ball path. After gradually adapting and getting familiar with it, he made his shots more decisively and the quality of the ball became higher and higher.
In addition to the men’s singles match, Lin Gaoyuan also partnered with Chen Xingtong in the first round of the mixed doubles match earlier today. The result was a 3-1 (7-11, 11-8, 11-8 and 12-10) victory over Xiong Mengyang/Wu Yangchen . “The situation in the first game was actually quite uncomfortable. I didn’t adapt to the field very well; the opponent let go of the fight, the quality of his shots was relatively high, and he hit a lot of shots beyond his imagination,” Lin Gaoyuan emphasized. Point by point to win the game.”
Lin Gaoyuan/Chen Xingtong won the mixed doubles championship in the previous “Straight to Durban” first race, and the first place in the overall score of these two races will receive a valuable ticket to the Durban World Table Tennis Championships. Speaking of this topic, Lin Gaoyuan said frankly that the goal of this competition is to win the championship. At the same time, he also pointed out that the competition still needs to be played one by one. Think about the next game,” Lin Gaoyuan finally said.
