this battle is crucial for lin shidong, because it is the second final lin shidong participated in in a single day. he has just finished the men's doubles final. the most important championship in almaty is actually the men's singles. lin shidong is a young player that the national table tennis team is focusing on cultivating in the los angeles cycle. he will definitely join the men's singles team in the future.
lin shidong won three championships in almaty. he and kuaiman defeated the romanian combination ionescu/samara to win the championship.
later, lin shidong and xu yingbin teamed up to defeat burrasade/dole to win the men's doubles championship. with three championships in one stop, lin shidong became the talk of the town.
before the almaty station, lin shidong had 1,795 points in the men's singles. he scored 400 points in this station and reached 2,195 points. his world ranking also rose to 12th place. lin shidong will next participate in the wtt championship in macau.
lin shidong's first opponent is duda, but fortunately, lin shidong was not scheduled for the men's singles match on september 9, so lin shidong got a short rest. he has now flown to macau to prepare for the competition. the 19-year-old boy is very energetic, but the continuous travel and competition are still a huge test for his physical fitness.
i hope lin shidong can stand out in zone 2/4. this zone is quite difficult. tomokazu harimoto vs matsushima terusora, lin shidong vs duda, carlberg vs aruna, grote vs lin yun-ju.
