Original title: Fan Zhendong won the World Cup! 4-1 Zhangmoto Chiwa, winning two consecutive championships in 7 days
This year’s ITTF’s last top event, the new generation of leaders of Chinese and Japanese men’s singles finally met in the finals.
On the evening of the 7th, in the men’s singles final of the WTT World Cup in Singapore, Fan Zhendong, born in 1997, and Zhang Benzhihe in 2003 met in the final. In the end, Fan Zhendong defeated Zhang Benzhihe 4-1 and won the World Cup Men’s Singles Championship after the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships 7 days ago.

In the face of successive losses, Zhang Benzhihe said: “To be honest, I have been in a bad state recently, so I was not very surprised when I failed in the Olympic singles, and I am in the same mood now.”
“In my opinion, it is my own problem, no matter who the opponent is, it may be the result, and it may be the same after the game. Instead of entangled with the opponent, it is better to pay attention to yourself.”For the downturn, Zhang Benzhihe could only adjust himself.
In this World Cup, he recovered his form and defeated famous players such as Falk, Huang Zhenting, Hugo Calderano and advanced to the final. For Japanese men’s singles, there is also an urgent need for a victory to boost morale.

The last time the two faced each other was in the 2019 Men’s Singles World Cup. “Little Fatty” defeated his opponent 4-2 and finally won the men’s singles championship.
It is precisely because of the absolute strength and confidence that Fan Zhendong just said in the face of Zhang Benzhihe, who is eager for victory in the finals: “Although the schedule of this competition is not long, the opponents in each round are very strong. I haven’t played against Zhang Ben for a long time. I look forward to a good performance in the finals.”
