14-Year-Old Shocks the World: Defeats Wang Chuqin, World No.1

[@LiveislamwithnowarBlogspot17]

Faraji have a strong mental and a very good heavy spin and strong defense. Superb!

[@zedalive4764]

particularly strong return on serve, good serves for which Wang was not quite used to and somehow interesting high trajectory topspin attacks which again Wang didn't like and missed too many long. as for his defense it's good but he lost most of those points, it's short points and Wang's early mistakes against his balls which gave him the victory. Iranian's mentality is surprisingly strong

[@miyazakizachary5108]

Bravo. What a game by both players. Faraji is very talented❤❤❤

[@happylittlemonk]

Yes, I am Iranian, The reason for being good at martial art was Bruce Lee. People went to see him in cinema 50-60 times I remember. Iranians are strong and love wrestling so it became part of the culture. Table tennis also is very populate but we have not produced many champions in comparison with other countries. But one reason for it being popular is that the weather is almost sunny all year long. It hardly rains so table tennis is cheap and most people have one in the yard. Therefore kids get to practice from very early age. The reason that they have not produced any champions is lack of training and they naturally do not like to learn things properly so they never grow

It happens all the time. China is not the only game in town. Faraji got lucky to catch Wang on a bad day. Wang's game was mediocre, and only sometimes his brilliance came through.

[@SA_SovereigntyForPatriots]

@@wolfhomma1590 Thats a moot point. Might it be that Faraji's play actually intimidated him into playing mediocre?

[@observer991]

@@wolfhomma1590 Terrible statement!!! If you can't bring it on the day of competition, you deserve to lose. Whose fault is it that Wang didn't have a good day? You either have no idea of what it is to compete, or you have a terrible attitude...it is one of the other. Wang losing was because he allowed the pressure to get to him. What pressure? The pressure of playing someone that you know you are better than because you are supposed to win. Luck had nothing to do with it!

Faraji's service and return game is insane

[@OlimjonMatniyazov]

Faraji has a different style of receiving and not the regular one the Wang is used to. So much spins on those returns and most of the balls were at the edge with high jump or very low jump. Very interesting to analize this game. Wang’s forehand side was wide open and the young player had a quick backhand returns (flips).

[@manjago1070]

But he's more with defensive mode..this is like 'desert' for Ma long and Fan zen dong!!

[@raymondtingting6364]

His backhand ball return was breathtaking, Iranian curry backhand 😂😂😂

[@massoodn9410]

Incredible players. Both are amazing.

[@abhiseks9281]

its may be the mindset of current top ranked players.. ma long,xu xin never used to loose against low ranked players . You got to remember " never consider your enemy to be weak ". wang could have finished the game in the 4th set . he was up 6-2 or something , he was taking points on his serve as well as receiving the serve well . I don't know what happened , he just could not finish the game. As a experienced top ranked athlete , you got to break the rhythm of opponent by doing something different. He went into long rallies and kept on missing .No doubt faraji played well , and was lucky on few occasions , got to give credit to him . He kept on pushing wang . last set was probably the result of the 4th set . being up by some margin and not been able to take the set . against low ranked players you don't want to take it to the last set . Just observe the weakness of opponent in few games , and latch onto it to finish the game quick. just sharing my thoughts. being a wang chuqin fan , i dont like the way he is currently playing .even in olympics and now here

[@Superblazt]

I agree, I mean Faraji Benyamin could prove us wrong? He already beat Wang Chu qin. But can he win his way from the men Single round of 128? To the championship? I am not sure. If he beat Lin Shi Dong, Harimoto and Liang. Then he's surely insane. We will see, right now he's the new young star. Can he play like Felix Lebrun? Time will tell. But I highly doubt he could win the championship in this tournament. Because he still got to face Lin Shi Dong and Harimoto... Time will tell though. I am waiting for his match with Lin Shi Dong. Right now Lin Shi Dong is on 🔥🎉 with a 17 Consecutive win Streak. Can he break it? Not even Ma Long 🐐 can stop Lin Shi Dong now. But we will see.

[@vave22]

[@enrigoletto]

@@Superblazt He's lost with Lin Shidong 17-15 on the decider! And he was leading something like 9-3

[@Superblazt]

@@enrigoletto Yup I saw that live. Faraji is an insane scary player man! Bro almost beaten World no 1 and 3. I guess he lost to Harimoto because he didn't try so hard as Iran men team already can't win the Gold or Silver? But bro is on fire 🔥 today when he Vs Lin Shi Dong. He's rank 210? In my opinion I would have rank him world no 21. His skill is extremely good. The only thing he needs a little improvement is his mentality. I saw it when he lost a few points on the 3rd and 4th game. Then he really let it affect him and he got 11-3 lost twice in both games. So I would say his mentality needs a little bit more training, but considering he's just 14. His performance is really very legendary. Hopefully he doesn't become like Harimoto who beat ma long at the age of 14, but he isn't performing at his top level now... Faraji is very good. He almost beat Lin Shi Dong. Lin Shi Dong is on fire with his 20 consecutive win in men single matches. He's just unstoppable and probably he will overtake Wang Chu qin if he continues playing at this level. LSD is so good at handling pressuring situation.

[@Superblazt]

@@enrigoletto Faraji is unlucky he faced Lin Shi Dong so early. If he didn't, he maybe able to able to get into the Semi final. Not joking, his skill is impressive. He's unlucky he faced LSD who is really good in handling pressuring situation. Bro almost beat LSD. He's really good man. Team China will start researching on this player now lol. He's good

[@randomfan3859]

Wang is Wr no.1 but right now he looks more like a Wr. 20-50 player. World class but inconsistent. Perhaps it could be pressure as he could be thought of as a “team captain”, since Fan Zhendong took a well deserved break. Fan did quite good for Team captain, and perhaps the pressure of reaching his level is quite demanding for Wang. But if he doesn’t change his attitude and playing ability, it wouldn’t be out of the question to demote him from A team down to B. Like losing against players with great amounts of skill or at least highly ranked is understandable, no one is perfect. But losing against a player that was basically unknown and had an abysmal wr compared to him is just a sign of his inconsistency, mental issues and maybe even tiredness.

[@BustyGretchen]

Meet the new Harimoto, with a 20dB vocal discount. 😆 An interesting point that came up quite a few times: when Faraji put extra top on his shots Wang would counterloop it long more often than not. This kid knows the Timo Boll monster FH-topspin shot, for which the German was famous for. And egging himself on even when losing a point ... only the greatest do that. I wish him the best of luck in his further career.
