World No. 1 Fan Ousted While All-Chinese Final Set In Women's Singles At WTT Champions Incheon
WTT Champions Incheon: World No. 1 Fan Zhendong came out the first Chinese paddler shown the door out at the WTT Champions Incheon after losing to Brazil's Hugo Calderano 4-2 here in the men's singles semifinals.
The top seed got off to a bad start against Calderano, losing three sets in a row, 11-6, 11-8, 11-9. Despite his endeavors to turn around the tide with scores of 11-6, 11-8 in the following two, Fan failed to come back, went down to the Brazilian top player 11-5 in the sixth set and swallowed the failure, reports Xinhua.
"It was really important to start 3-0 up. It's really hard for anyone to come back from 3-0 down. But of course, there's one reason why he's one of the best in the world, so I know he could come back, and I just had to keep cool, keep fighting, keep playing my level, good tactics and good variation," Calderano said after the victory.
