In the early morning of August 23rd, Beijing time, the first day of the table tennis WTT Olomouc feeder tournament ended. Unexpectedly, an upset occurred in the first round. Xue Fei, a famous straight-grip player of the national table tennis team and a member of the men's team champion of the Jakarta Asian Games, collapsed after a hard fight of 5 games and was eliminated by the unknown 16-year-old Chinese Taipei player Xu Xianjia. Another national table tennis player Hu Dongshen also lost 2-3 to Villard of Spain.

At present, the Chinese table tennis team has achieved a record of 15 wins and 2 losses in 17 matches against athletes from foreign associations. Although most of them have advanced, it is really surprising that they lost in the first round of such a low-level competition. Please see below for more details.

The WTT Olomouc feeder tournament was the first international tournament that the Chinese table tennis team participated in after the Paris Olympics. However, there were no main players participating, and the coaching staff let the young players train. Since the level of the tournament was very low, there were not many top players from foreign associations who signed up, especially the opponents in the men's line were not famous players, so it was generally believed that it would not be difficult for the Chinese table tennis team to win.

However, as mentioned earlier, Xue Fei, once a rising star of the national table tennis team and the successor of the straight-grip playing style, suffered a heavy blow in the first round. After winning the first game, he was reversed 2-3 and lost to Chinese Taipei player Xu Xianjia, and only stopped in the top 32.

Like Xue Fei, another non-mainstream player also suffered a defeat, that is, the chopping player Hu Dongshen. His opponent Villard was also not well-known in the table tennis world. As a result, Hu Dongshen also collapsed 2-3 after playing 5 games. It was a pity to lose.

At present, the other singles players and doubles teams of the national table tennis team have defeated the opponents from foreign associations. Among them, the much-anticipated China-Japan match - Chen Yuanyu vs. Hamada Kazuki ended with the former winning 3-1. As for Huang Youzheng/Chen Yuanyu, they lost 2-3 to their teammates Xiang Peng/Yuan Licen and also stopped in the first round, but fortunately they did not lose the foreign match.

According to the arrangement, on August 23, the national table tennis team will have two doubles civil wars, namely Xue Fei/Wang Xiaotong VS Yuan Licen/Zong Geman, Wang Xiaotong/Han Feier VS Fan Shuhan/Xu Yi. As for the other 22 games, they are all against athletes from foreign associations, including two women's singles matches against Japanese athletes, which are worthy of everyone's attention.

Judging from the results of the first round, the national table tennis team is still facing severe challenges. So, without the main players, what results can the young players achieve in the end? Let's continue to wait and see!
