Dang was also the last of the five German players in the individual competition of this World Cup. Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Patrick Franziska still have a chance to win a medal in the doubles in Durban.
The first duel between Dang Qiu and Fan Zhendong was not as one-sided as the final result suggests. The German champion only lost at 10:12 in overtime of the first set. After an 8:6 lead, he gave up the third set at 8:11. The last set was then clearly lost 5:11.
The 26-year-old fan has led the world rankings since April 2018 after a short break. Despite this supremacy, the Chinese have so far only won the 2021 World Championship in Houston. He lost one World Championship and one Olympic final to his compatriot Ma Long, who is also in Durban.
