The table tennis WTT Goa Star Tournament officially started on January 23rd, and it has only concluded the first day of the qualifying rounds, and the result was a big cold – men’s table tennis star and India’s No. 1 Sharath Kamal suffered a big reversal of the scoreline, leading 2-0 and dropping 3 games in a row to defeat South Korea’s chop player KANG Dongsoo, and the deciding game was a The final game was a crashing defeat and he was eliminated with just 3 points, which was regrettable.
This tournament Chinese table tennis team, Japanese athletes are not participating, the Korean team has a great advantage, five items have the strength to impact the championship, the main force is almost all out, non-main players can also overturn the master, is indeed a raging, not to be underestimated!
Match Focus
Sharath Kamal is the first Indian men’s ping pong in the last decade or so, although the age is not small, but still has a strong fighting force, technology is very comprehensive, in domestic and international tournaments in the performance can still be about the same level with the rising star Sathiyan Gnanasekaran.
Comparatively speaking, KANG Dongsoo this player as a chipper, his offensive ability is not bad, the ball is relatively strange, meet unfamiliar opponents is very threatening, but the fight more can be found in its level is very general, although had a cold win over the world’s top ten Hugo, but the last year lost miserably, the ability can be seen.
The Match
Sharath Kamal quickly took the lead in the first set, taking it 11-6 with relative ease, and then the two entered a very intense stalemate in the second set, at which point KANG Dongsoo’s form picked up considerably, but Sharath Kamal, after all, has a lot of experience, and ultimately won another set by a close margin of 12-10, thus forcing his opponent to the brink of extinction.
In the third set, the two sides were still playing back and forth in the first eight rounds, but later KANG Dongsoo quickly powered up to 11-4, and then in the fourth set to 17-15, forcing Sharath Kamal into a decisive battle.
KANG Dongsoo in the fifth game, as a chipper, he organized a number of powerful counterattacks, playing the style of chipping predecessors Ding Song, Zhu Shi Hyuk, soon took the initiative and continue to take the lead, and finally in the hands of seven match points to 11-3 end of the battle, thus achieving a reversal of the three-game series of good game, is indeed playing tenacious!
However, as I said before, KANG Dongsoo although occasionally cold, but the results are very crushing, nearly a year 11 foreign wars only 1 time to reach the round of 16, 3 times to stop the qualifying rounds, 3 times in the main round of the 64 eliminated, although this cold win, but it is difficult to estimate the further advancement.
