The final was a 3-2 elimination to advance to the men’s singles round of sixteen, avoiding a round-robin tour, please see below for details of the battle.
Born in 2005, Chen Yuanyu is one of the best of the new generation in the national men’s team. He won the singles title at the WTT Muscat Regular Season Tournament earlier this year, defeating Tomokazu Zhang and others, and was favoured by the coaching staff to participate in a series of tournaments, only to lose four consecutive tournaments to athletes of foreign associations, including the WTT Incheon Championships that ended only a few days ago.
Now Chen Yuan Yu is playing in the WTT Taiyuan Regular Season, and his first opponent in the men’s singles event is the Japanese main athlete Yoshimura Masaharu, which is undoubtedly a severe test for the young Chinese player who has not been in good form lately. He needs to break through the opponents technically and tactically and at the same time get out of the shadow of his recent losing streak to foreign players as soon as possible.
