Wang Chuqin has been placed high expectations by the national table tennis in the past two years of competitions, and has always been trained as a successor. Unfortunately, in the face of fans' expectations, there is still a certain gap between Wang Chuqin's growth height and the expectations of fans at this stage. Let's analyze Wang Chuqin's strength in detail, where is he worse than Fan Zhendong?
The pressure on Wang Chuqin's shoulders
At the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Chuqin got a valuable p-card spot. Although the whole process did not have the opportunity to play, but to squeeze out Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and other Mesozoic players to get the opportunity to participate, which can see the importance of Wang Chuqin to the national table tennis.
Ma Long and Xu Xin are both 30+ veterans, and it will be very difficult to fight paris again. Once Dragon Python chooses to retire, the burden of national table tennis will fall on Fan Zhendong. A good man three gangs, the national table tennis want to maintain dominance, Fan Zhendong also needs the support of his teammates, Wang Chuqin is the player who has high hopes at this stage. Fan Zhendong succeeded Ma Long, and Wang Chuqin wanted to succeed Fan Zhendong, combining the old, the middle and the young, which is the most reasonable echelon construction.
Wang Chuqin's strength and achievements at this stage
At the end of the Tokyo cycle, Wang Chuqin's opportunities to participate in the competition have obviously begun to increase, but his results have not been too dazzling. In the last world ranking, Wang Chuqin ranked 17th, and later relied on the performance of the WTT World Cup to rank 12th at this stage.
Wang Chuqin's speed and strength are good, but the stability is a little worse, especially the stability of the forehand, which is the key to hindering his further growth. Wang Chuqin should find his own positioning, you can choose to take the strength ball, you can also choose to take the technical flow. No matter which one he chose, Wang Chuqin needed to play more flexibly.
In terms of mentality, Wang Chuqin has made progress, but there is still a big gap between him and Fan Zhendong. After being banned from wrestling, Wang Chuqin was much more stable than before. In the past World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup matches, Wang Chuqin promised not to lose foreign battles, which is worth affirming. Because of the reason for signing, he met Fan Zhendong in advance, which was the key to influencing Wang Chuqin to further achieve better results.
How big is the gap with Fan Zhendong
If you compare Wang Chuqin with Fan Zhendong at this stage, the gap between the two people is all-round, not only is the technical thickness not enough, but the mentality is also poor. Wang Chuqin is a 00-year player and Fan Zhendong is a 97-year player, and the age gap between the two people is actually not large. Fan Zhendong is at the age of Wang Chuqin, he has already grown into the No. 2 main force of national table tennis, won the World Cup championship, and continuously dominated the list in the world's first position. Although the mentality at that time could not be handled, Fan Zhendong's technical strength was the top of the national table tennis, and it was difficult for a player to be able to shoulder with Fan Zhendong.
Wang Chuqin's doubles strength is better than Fan Zhendong's, which also needs to be recognized, and his partners Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi and others have achieved good results. But doubles are only doubles after all, Wang Chuqin needs to make a breakthrough in singles at this stage, and urgently needs a champion to prove himself and stimulate his self-confidence.
I hope Wang Chuqin can have a good performance in the future, come on!
