A huge upset! In the just-finished second round of the WTT European Grand Slam men's singles, Liang Jingkun was swept 0-3 by Larson-Foss and knocked out of the tournament.
Liang Jingkun holds the world No. 5 ranking, while his opponent Larson-Foss is ranked 103rd. Most people thought Liang Jingkun would win easily, but it turned out he was effortlessly beaten. This outcome is so disappointing! He really needs to go back and analyze what went wrong.
Right now, the Chinese men's table tennis team is becoming increasingly worrying—Lin Gaoyuan often loses in the first round, Lin Shidong can't win tough matches, Wang Chuqin lacks dominance, and Liang Jingkun frequently suffers defeats. Will Fan Zhendong return to save Chinese table tennis at the upcoming Olympics in the US? It's time to seriously reflect and regroup.
