According to Japan's "Daily Sports", after losing in the final set, Zhang Benzhihe collapsed and knelt down, and he looked haggard during the post-match interview. He said in the interview, "If I can die to get relief, I really want to die. If I have to endure this kind of grief (it's better to die)... If there is a way other than dying to avoid facing this reality, it would be great."

On the other hand, according to Japanese media reports, facing the frustrated Zhang Benzhihe, the coach of the Japanese men's table tennis team, Tanaka Kunishi, comforted him and said, "There is nothing to feel guilty about. This is a good game. It is not your fault at all. Walk with your chest held high and respond to the cheers of the audience."
