After the trip to the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, some of the national table tennis players immediately flew to Singapore without stopping, as they would appear in the upcoming WTT World Cup final. The WTT World Cup final will be officially launched on December 4, Beijing time, when nine national table tennis players will fight for honor. At about 5 p.m. on December 2, the official gave a specific schedule and match schedule.
The men's singles matchup is like this: in the first half, Fan Zhendong vs Francesca, Jeong Young-sik vs Lee Sang-so, Wang Chu-chin vs Lin Yun-ru, Pichefort vs Zhang Yuzhen; in the lower half, Huang Zhenting vs Simon-Goz, Zhang Benzhi and VS Falke, Liang Jingkun vs Aruna, Lin Gaoyuan vs Calderano. The women's singles matchup is as follows: in the first half, Chen Meng vs Ishikawa Yoshijun, Feng Tianwei vs Tian Zhixi, Wang Yidi vs Diaz, Polkanova vs Hitomi Sato, in the bottom half, Hayata Hina vs Zheng Yijing, Wang Manyu vs Du Kaixuan, Chen Xingtong vs Hirano Miyu, Sun Yingsha vs Solja.
It can be seen that in the men's singles, the national table tennis has a total of 4 players participating, while in the women's singles, the national table tennis has a total of 5 players participating. If Ma Long and Xu Xin want to give young people the opportunity to exercise and actively choose not to participate, after all, they have won the championship of the Tokyo Olympic Games, which can be used as a perfect end, then Liu Shiwen is a bit sorry not to participate, because she did not win the championship in the Olympic Games. It is reasonable to say that with Liu Shiwen's world ranking, she is definitely able to participate in this competition. However, the jujube did not go.
The reason for Liu Shiwen's absence may be that her body is not in the best condition on the one hand, and on the other hand, it may be because she also wants to give her sisters the opportunity to exercise. But no matter what the reason, Liu Guoliang should be the ultimate decision-maker. This also reflects from the side that the era of women's table tennis is changing, the era belonging to Liu Shiwen has slowly come to an end, and young players with outstanding performances such as Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha are taking over the baton. In fact, Liu Shiwen can participate in the competition, no matter how to give herself an explanation, it is best to use the champion to end her career. Of course, even if Liu Shiwen did not participate in this competition, she could not erase her position in the hearts of fans and her contribution to the cause of Chinese table tennis.
I believe that Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and others can smoothly take over the baton and support the sky of Chinese women's table tennis. At the same time, I also wish Liu Shiwen all the best in the future!
