On November 11, the national table tennis team, which is preparing for the World Table Tennis Championships in Wenzhou, announced important news: the team warm-up match will be held from November 12 to 14. On the first day of the schedule, Sun Yingsha and Chen Xingtong will play against male players, and Chen Meng/Qian Tianyi and Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu will also face the mixed doubles combination.
At present, the national table tennis is divided into two roads, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Yidi and others are participating in the WTT competition in Slovenia; Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng and others are staying in Wenzhou for training. In order to test the results of the training, the national table tennis specially held a 3-day warm-up competition.
The men's team selected 32 people to play in the knockout round, using a 4-win system in 7 sets, with Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin all participating. In the first round of the matchup, Fan Zhendong faced Chen Huanyu, Ma Long played against Liu Yebo, Xu Xin played against Xie Congfan, and Zhao Zihao played against Zeng Beixun.
The women's team's matches are more fun and fun, incorporating elements of "gender wars". According to the arrangement, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Ku Man, Chen Yi, Wu Yangchen, Qin Yuxuan and other World Table Tennis and World Youth Championships players can select opponents in the men's and women's teams, and Liu Shiwen will also participate.
The first day's schedule was officially announced, and Liu Shiwen missed the first day of the competition. In the women's singles match against the men's singles, Sun Yingsha will face Wang Chence; Chen Xingtong will play against Yan Sheng. In the women's doubles match against mixed doubles, Chen Meng/Qian Tianyi dueled against Xiang Peng/Ku Man; Wang Manyu/Sun Yingsha vs Cao Wei/Sun Mingyang.
From the perspective of the match, the main force of women's table tennis will generally choose young male players as the competition object, which can narrow the gap between the two sides.
Due to the resignation of the head coach Huang Haicheng, Sun Yingsha experienced the difficulty of not having a head coach in the early stage of the training. Until recently, the coaching team finally made a decision to invite Yang Guangdi, the coach of the Hebei women's team, to help Sun Yingsha. Although the time is a little late, Sun Yingsha still ushered in a mentor who can help her wholeheartedly, which is always good.
On the first day of the warm-up match, Sun Yingsha played against the male players in singles and doubles consecutively, what kind of performance could she show?
