The reason why Lin Shidong lost his title is revealed! Moregaard gave the answer, and the former national player hit the nail on the head, Wang Hao encouraged him. The 2025 WTT Swedish Grand Slam men's singles final came to an end. The world's No. 1 Lin Shidong and host Swedish star Moregaard fought seven games, but finally lost 3-4. This is Lin Shidong's second time this season has entered the Grand Slam final, but missed the championship. As a men's solo shooter in the national table tennis team, he withstood the pressure of three battles and finally ended his Sweden journey with 1 championship and 2 Asian championships (mixed doubles champion, men's doubles and men's singles runner-up).

In this game, Lin Shidong quickly got into the state and scored consecutively with his backhand to score, taking a 5-3 lead, but then Moregaard scored 4 points in a row to overtake, and led the way and won the first game 11-8. In the second game, Lin Shidong adjusted his tactics and took the initiative to speed up the offensive rhythm, taking the lead at the start of 4-1. Although Moregaard tenaciously chased to 7, Lin Shidong scored 3 points in a row and won the game 11-8. In the third game, the game was in a stalemate. Lin Shidong was in a good situation of leading 8-4, and encountered Moregard's tactical impact on the top three boards, scoring 5 points in a row to overtake. Although Lin Shidong saved the game point when he was behind 9-10, he still lost the game 10-12. In the fourth game, Moregaard continued to play his home advantage, succeeded through continuous defensive counterattacks, and won another goal 11-8. In the fifth game, Lin Shidong fought back and started 3-0, then scored 4 points in a row to expand the lead and won the game 11-4. In the sixth game, the competition between the two sides has entered a fierce stage. When the score was 11, Lin Shidong scored 2 points in a row with his tenacious defensive counterattack, and achieved a reversal of 13-11, dragging the game into the final game. In the decisive game, Lin Shidong took a 2-0 lead at the start, and then took the field with 5-3. The two sides tied at 8 in the middle of the game. Lin Shidong scored key points and led 9-8. However, at this critical moment, Moregaard used the backhand twisting and pulling to pull forehand rushing tactic, scoring 3 points in a row, ending the game 11-9. Lin Shidong failed to seize the opportunity under the good situation of leading 9-7 and eventually lost the championship. After the game, Moregaard reviewed the game in an interview, especially in the decisive game, which was backward. Moregaard said that Lin Shidong was basically controlling the rhythm in the next three games, and he was actually very passive. When he was behind, he told himself that he should play more proactively and actively, and believe in himself and believe that he could win this game. But Lin Shidong also made some changes, so both of them were equal in this game, and he was very happy that he could win. Moregaard then talked about his experience in the competition and said that Moregaard said that he liked the competition very much because every game in the competition is very important and important. Everyone is giving their all, and he is better at performing well in the competition. He hopes that he can continue in such a competitive state.

Former national player Zhou Yu pointed out two major problems that Lin Shidong has incisively when commenting on the game. The first is that his mentality is unstable. Zhou Yu gave an example to illustrate that when Lin Shidong played against Moregard, he had many key opportunities to score, all of which were wasted due to improper handling of his own. In essence, his mentality fluctuated in key points, resulting in an imbalance in mentality. Then Lin Shidong failed to implement the tactics firmly, and Moregard continued to put pressure on Lin Shidong, causing Lin Shidong to gradually fall into a passive position in the competition and lose the rhythm many times at critical moments. Lin Shidong was obviously not as good as Moregaard in handling key points, especially when he led 9-7 in the decisive game, he had the opportunity to score in a straight line with his backhand, but due to hesitation, he was not strong enough to return the ball and was scored by Moregaard. Lin Shidong's forehand attack is not stable enough and makes many mistakes in key links. In contrast, Moregard's forehand attack at critical moments is more determined and has a higher success rate. Another obvious gap is the passive adjustment of speed. When Moregard changed his tactics, it took Lin Shidong a long time to adapt and respond effectively, which led to his lead in multiple games being reversed. For Lin Shidong, there is not much time left for him now, and he needs to find a solution as soon as possible. This article is original by Xiao Lizi, please do not copy or transfer it.
