USPA NEWS - Can we say, that it was his day? Probably, yes. But, nevertheless, that was his best performance so far.
Among the most interesting and competitive matches on the LIEBHERR 2019, ITTF World Table Tennis Championships in Budapest was a match in the Men´s Singles Round of 32 between XU Xin (CHN) seed #2 and GAUZY Simon (FRA) seed #29. This match resulted in a bright and impressive victory of Simon GAUZY -- 4:2. After the match, I asked the winner to say a few words of his reflection on the table tennis battle. Simon Gauzy reflected that his receive disturbed XU Xin from the start and that XU could really push him back with this receive and did not have so much powerful and effective openings and counter-loops in the course of the match and these allowed Simon to win a very important game at the beginning of the match and the match itself.
By the opinion of the French table tennis player, his game, lately, is not regular, that is caused by his injuries, but he still was able, recently, to come back in the World Ranking and consolidate his forces in this match, which he, also, considers as his best table tennis performance so far. Congratulations, Simon!
