Curtains come down on four-day table Tennis Extravaganza WTT starter Chennai Championship

Eighteen-year-old Oh Junsung from Korea took his very first WTT-Star-Star Mens-Singles Singles Singles in Chennai on Sunday after he dominated about France's Poret Thibault in a close meeting that went the full distance of seven competitions. During the game, both players exchanged matches to the decision maker, where the Korean moved on, with 8-3 when his coach called for a time-out.

It seems that the healthy advice from the sidelines was worthwhile, because the Korean seemed to be more confidence in his successes against an even more aggressive Frenchman who shot both cylinders. But the words with his coach seemed to do it when he achieved five championship points and served for the champion match on 10-05. Poret has saved two championship points, but that is all he could do as the young person of the two placed it past him and the decision maker closed on 11-7.

Because there must be a winner and a loser, there was this Korean state for a long time today, but the world will hear about it for a long time to come for their energetic, lively and high -quality table tennis. It was Oh Junsung, whose father is also a table tennis player and a commentator of the game, who showed his early control of the game, although it was the French who took the lead by winning the first game. But then both players won the alternative games to get the game, each with a 3-game win.

In the decision -maker, Junsung mounted a big lead, and it was just to catch up that Thibault could do, and in the end it was just not enough because he nodded at 7 o'clock. But it was a worthy final of a super-loaded tournament. If the men Singles Rubber was so fascinating, it was the ladies' snonble race that raised the spectators and supporters of the game with something of a table tennis rule called Expedite.

This rule is put into use if a game lasts longer than 10 minutes, and then each rally must be completed in 13 fairs of Schoten. The finalists, both from Japan, presented an excellent representation of all -round table Tennisboth defensive and offensive shots to the extent that the “Expedite” rule had to be enforced.

Subsequently, the title conflict for women's single between Harimoto Miwa and Hashimoto of both the winner and the loser honored because they kept rallies who looked more like practice sessions than the final of a global competitive competition in the course of progress. For the students of the game, both players were perfect demonstrators of every shot that is top spins in the GamePush, Chop, Forehand and Backhand, and the countertoppspin drives. And the sudden heel or a heel block.

What is even more important, the game between the two Japanese girls lasted an hour and fifteen minutes almost double or triple the average match in the tournament. Of course a little extra time is understandable because the final was the best of seven games, but even then the meetings were extended, and some could count to 22 in such an exchange at the end of which even the spectators were apparently tired.

Before Korean Oh Jungsung and the Japanese Miwa Harimoto were crowned the single champions of men and women, the Indian challenge, Manav Takkar, curved in the semi -final. The 24-year-old Manav Thakkar wrote history when he became the very first Indian who reached the semi-final of each WTT ranking tournament worldwide, but fell in four games of France.

Manav created history on the WTT today by reaching where he has reached. And the harvest of young people waiting in their wings makes us very proud and confident in the future of the game in India, said Deepak Malik, CEO of Stupa Analytics, one of the organizers of the championship event together with the Tamil Nadu Sports Development Authority.

It is the fortune of the TT game and the younger players that TT legend Sharat Kamal has accompanied his teammates, competitors and younger elements during his match days, said Malik and hoped that Sharat Kamal came in to give the game back to the game as quickly as possible. Yes, he is planned to work with Tamil Nadu when developing the game, which took deep roots in the state, but we would be happy if he spent time with young people throughout the country.

The four -day sporting event is more like our farewell, filled with gratitude to the sportsman who inspires young boys and girls, said that various players and officials were connected to the sport that is present at the event.
