Houston World Table Tennis Championships, for the national table tennis men's team, can be called poor signing luck, because Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun and Fan Zhendong are all divided in the upper half of the zone, and from sixteen into eight, to eight into four, and then to the semifinals, Fan Zhendong has faced the challenge of his teammates in three consecutive rounds. Of course, this makes Fan Zhendong's three teammates have the premise of competing for the championship, but they can only persist until they play the semi-finals and get third place. For Fan Zhendong, it is true that this lottery result increases the gold content of his championship, proving that Fan Zhendong's world table tennis singles champion is indeed played in the rain of bullets. But it also made his two teammates, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin, lose the opportunity to take the podium in the singles arena. From a certain point of view, Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan can't enter the final four, even if they play in good shape, it is still difficult to become outstanding players in the national table tennis men's team.
The upcoming WTT World Cup finals in Singapore have brought a big change to this situation. For the players, because they are all the world's top masters, everyone has to face a hard battle in the first round, and the players of the national table tennis also have a little more room to move forward than when they were in the World Table Tennis Championships. For example, the four players of the national table tennis men's team, from Fan Zhendong to Wang Chuqin, to Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan, no matter whether their opponents are strong or weak, every level is a success. Especially for Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan, they played Lin Yunru from Chinese Taipei in the first round and Calderano from Brazil. Lin Yunru just reached the men's singles final four at the Tokyo Olympic Games, and Calderano (Hugo) also reached the quarterfinals of the World Table Tennis Championships, which can be said to be the most competitive player among the players in the foreign association, so no matter how far Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan can go in the later matches, at least they can beat their opponents in the first round, which is a huge success. It is also a proof of the strength of the entire team of the national table tennis men's team.
Especially for Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin at least in the mixed doubles field and Sun Yingsha also cooperated with Sun Yingsha to win a gold medal, and Lin Gaoyuan is the oldest one among the main forces of the national table tennis mesozoic and new generations, he has lost the advantage of competing with other young main players of the national table tennis, the personnel arrangement of the Tokyo Olympic Games, he is even more P card, and the substitute position behind the P card has not been obtained, and even failed to go to Tokyo with the sparring team, which shows that for Lin Gaoyuan, he wants to stand out in the competition of several teammates. It's a lot of difficulty.
Fortunately, at this Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Lin Gaoyuan has a good performance in singles, doubles, or mixed doubles. The worst result was also to advance to the quarter-finals, with the other two events advancing to the final four and getting the chance to get on the podium. Therefore, for Lin Gaoyuan, this Singapore WTT finals, if they can qualify for the World Cup, the best foreign association players, but also the latest world rankings, the top ranking Hugo (due to Zhang Benzhi and the World Table Tennis Championships early out, Hugo has replaced Zhang Benzhihe as the current world ranking 4th player, is currently the highest ranking player in the world), no doubt to Lin Gaoyuan to stabilize a position in the five main forces of national table tennis has a great help On this basis, he can also strive to continue to compete with Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin for the third main position in the Olympic Games and the world table tennis team competition.
From the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that for Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan, their first world cup match is comparable to playing the final, and the first round directly facing Lin Yunru and Hugo is equivalent to directly making Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan face the big test. The stronger the opponent, the greater the test for them, but if they can win the game, the chance to play in the future, as well as the trust of the coaching staff, will be more. So are you optimistic about the performance of Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan in front of Lin Yunru and Hugo? Let's wait and see together, and I hope that the two young men will dare to show their swords and dare to win, at least when they can fight with their teammates Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun in the game. Wang Chuqin refueled, Lin Gaoyuan refueled.
