Zeng Junxin lost to the famous Uzbek player in the quarterfinals of the Asian Games men's singles and stopped in the top four and missed the medal.

Taiwanese tennis player Tsang Jun-xin lost to his old Uzbek rival Khumoyun Sultanov 6:7 (6:8), 2:6 in the men’s singles quarterfinals of the Asian Games in Nagoya today. He missed out on the top four and a medal. He admitted that because the match ended late the day before and he didn’t have much time to watch his opponent’s recent matches, he mainly relied on improvisation after taking the field.

Zeng Junxin lost to Sutanov in the quarterfinals of the last Asian Games in Hangzhou and missed the medal. This time he was hoping for revenge but his performance was affected by an ankle injury. He said that at the beginning, his body was not fully warmed up and his steps were not in good condition, which led to unsatisfactory returns on many balls and was the first to be broken. Although he gradually regained his feeling, he played more conservatively at critical moments. His concentration was affected by the condition of his legs and he did not dare to fully let go to exert force, thus missing key opportunities. After entering the second set, due to the muscle compensation due to the intensive schedule in the past few days, the physical exertion of the body was quite large, which made him encounter quite a challenge in adapting.

Talking about the much-discussed schedule, Zeng Junxin said frankly that playing two games a day can normally be enough, but due to rain delays, players often have to rush to the stadium from distant hotels early in the morning and stay all the way until late at night. This means that post-game physical therapy and sleep time cannot be as complete as normal preparation for the game. The physical load is indeed quite heavy, but he emphasized, "I just try my best to show my best performance."

After finishing the singles competition, Tsang Jun Yan will make his debut in the mixed doubles with Hsieh Su-wei later tonight. When it comes to physical conditioning, he said that in doubles, because one person takes care of half the court, the physical burden will be easier, but the pace of doubles is extremely fast, and the game may end in an instant if there is a slight lapse of concentration or lack of concentration. He believes that the next key point is to maintain a high concentration at all times and win every point with all your strength.
