Tomokazu Zhangmoto, the representative of the Paris Olympics and the first brother of Japanese table tennis ranked No. 4 in the men's singles world, emphasized his lack of desire in order to win the men's singles medal at the World Table Tennis Championships for Japanese table tennis again after 46 years: "Although I said 'I want to win a medal' here, I deeply felt that no matter what I said at the Paris Olympics, it was completely meaningless. It would be nice if you could get a medal, but if you couldn't get a medal, you couldn't get it". According to Tomokazu Zhangmoto, he did not set goals for himself in terms of performance at the World Table Tennis Championships.
It was customary to lose weight before the World Championships, and now Tomokazu has lost 5 kilograms than usual, and his weight has come to 73 kilograms. After running repeatedly before the official competition, he is scheduled to face this World Table Tennis Championships with a "slim body" that has lost another 1 kilogram.
This World Table Tennis Championships will be the fifth appearance of Tomokazu Zhang in his career. Seeded No. 4, he has no strong Chinese rivals in the men's singles quarter. If he advances, he is expected to face Hayasuke Togami in the third round of the Japanese civil war. Zhang Benzhi said energetically: "If you want to win the championship, there is no easy game. I want to try to play well from the first game. ”
