Zhou Qihao vs Zhang Jike
Zhou Qihao vs Zhang Jike. Yes, this is a very interesting match. During this match, you will learn 2 things:
https://youtu.be/cWpvK1lEdzE
Number 1. Zhang Jike is very famous in China. He is no doubt the most famous table tennis player in China. He has the largest fan base.

Number 2. This was a closed match. It is an intense match until the end. That means that Zhou Qihao played already very well. He is less well-known because he didn’t participate much in the international competition. And in China, there are many stars like Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Xu Xin. But it doesn’t mean his level is not good. He is always the tough opponent for the top Chinese player.
Zhou Qihao vs Timo Boll
Some player asked me, “Why Zhou Qihao is not selected to play in the Tokyo Olympics ?”
He has played very well in the Chinese Trial 2021 last week.
He is not selected by the Chinese coaching staff. One of the main reasons is that his winning score versus the foreign players is not good.
He played well in the internal competition, but the international competition is more important.
This is an amazing match between Timo Boll and Zhou Qihao.

First of all, it is not Guangzhou Province, he is from Guangdong Province (Guangzhou is the name of the capital city of Guangdong). Also, I think Zhou is like a Rye Seung Min with a shakehand paddle, who is always looking for a one-shot deal to kill the opponent. Zhou doesn’t want to waste time on long rally.
thank you. I will correct it.
