Shin Yu-bin Advances to the Round of 16 of WTT Champions Table Tennis… Lee Sang-soo Defeats Timo Boll

 

 


Lim Jong-hoon also cruised… Jeon Ji-hee, Joo Cheon-hee, and Jang Woo-jin appear


2022 Hangzhou Asian Games women"s doubles gold medalist Shin Yu-bin (8th, Korean Air) and men"s veteran Lee Sang-soo (28th, Samsung Life Insurance) passed the first round of the World Table Tennis (WTT) Champions Frankfurt.


Shin Yu-bin defeated Fuyu (46th, Portugal) 3-0 (14-12 11-7 13-11) in the first round of the women"s singles on the first day of the tournament held in Frankfurt, Germany on the 29th (local time) and advanced to the round of 16.


Among WTT competitions, WTT Champions is a competition that gives the most ranking points and prize money after the Grand Smash, which is one of the "four major tournaments" in tennis, and the Cup Finals, which is the king of kings.


The male and female winners are each awarded 1,000 ranking points, and it is held a maximum of four times a year.


This year, the competition will be held three times and this will be the last.


WTT Champions Frankfurt is the second tournament Shin Yu-bin participates in after competing at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.


Shin Yu-bin, together with Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities), presented Korean table tennis with its first gold medal in 21 years at the Hangzhou Asian Games.


She then moved to Lanzhou, China and participated in the WTT Star Contender Tournament, but suffered a back injury ahead of the women"s doubles final and withdrew and returned home.


Shin Yu-bin"s next opponent is Sabine Winter (70th place, Germany).


The two faced off once in the 2017 World Tour German Open preliminaries, and Shin Yu-bin, who was 13 years old at the time, was defeated 0-4.


In the men"s singles, Lee Sang-soo defeated Germany"s veteran Timo Boll (62nd) 3-1 (11-6 7-11 11-8 11-4) and advanced to the round of 16.


This is the first time that Lee Sang-soo has defeated Ball.


Starting with the semifinals of the 2017 World Tour German Open, they faced each other three times and lost all of them.


Ball, 42, is a player who reigned as the strongest player in Europe in the 2000s and 2010s.


Players with skills surpassing him are emerging one after another not only in their own countries but also in France and Sweden, but they are strong enough to win the singles title at the 2021 Warsaw European Championships.


Even such a ball could not defeat 33-year-old Lee Sang-soo, who is burning his last passion toward the 2024 Paris Olympics.


Bol is from Erbach, near Frankfurt.


He learned table tennis at the Frankfurt youth team and this place is like his ‘hometown’.


The WTT website wrote, “Lee Sang-soo ruined Ball’s homecoming party.”


Lee Sang-soo"s next opponent is world No. 1 Pan Jeon-dong, who defeated Sweden"s strongman Truls Möregaard 3-1 (12-10 11-13 12-10 11-7).


Lee Sang-soo has lost all 14 matches against Pan Zhendong.


Attention is being paid to whether he will be able to achieve a counter-attacking win like he did in the first round.


Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange), who won two silver medals and one bronze medal in Hangzhou, defeated Nicholas Lum (35th, Australia) 3-1 (11-6 11-7 7-11 11-5) and advanced to the round of 16.


Lim Jong-hoon will compete with world number 6 Liang Jingkun (China) to advance to the quarterfinals.


On the 30th, Jeon Ji-hee (33rd) and Joo Cheon-hee (20th, Samsung Life Insurance) will play the first round of the women"s singles, and Jang Woo-jin will play the men"s singles first round.
