Recently, the World Table Tennis Federation once again confirmed a new event, that is, the upcoming WTT Macau Championship on January 19, 2022, this time the lineup is also unprecedentedly strong, not only is it still Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, the two world number one leaders, at the same time Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liu Shiwen three veterans also returned to the field, and Ma Long also said bluntly in the face of the interview that "it is time to return to the table tennis arena I love" It can be seen that Ma Long still has a great love for table tennis.
It is reported that as the International Table Tennis Federation established the World Table Tennis Professional League has indeed changed the original table tennis international competition mode, from the original various levels of open competition, challenge mode, directly changed to a series of WTT events, before everyone saw the World Cup and other competitions are also like this, and the rules have also changed, no longer the invitation system, so there are many players in the national table tennis can have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup events, if in the past, each association only has 2 places.
For the upcoming WTT Macau Championship on January 19, 2022, it is still very much valued by everyone, after all, the national table tennis will send a lot of players in this competition, so that the competitiveness of the overall competition and the gold content of the medals will be very high, and it is rare that Ma Long, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, as veterans of national table tennis, will also appear in this competition, which is definitely good news for fans.
Judging from the information given by the current official, the National Table Tennis Association sent Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Liu Shiwen, seven active Olympic champions, who are also elite, and there are also people like Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, and others who will also participate in this competition.
In addition, there are Also Du Kaixuan and He Junjie of Hong Kong, China, Li Jie, a veteran of Chinese descent in the Netherlands, Li Qian, a veteran of Poland, and Zhang Zicheng and Zhang Zijun, local players in Macao, who will also participate in this competition, I have to say that every international competition, as long as there is a participation in national table tennis, the attention of domestic fans is still very high, which is obvious to everyone, which also has a more positive effect on the development of table tennis events and the promotion of projects.
And from this new year's war we can see that in the future may be in the short term Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liu Shiwen three veterans are unlikely to retire, which should be a great news for the fans, after all, the three veterans have their own fans, although they are not young, there are many injuries, but their strength, level is still maintained well, especially Ma Long, I believe many fans are still looking forward to Ma Long to create new miracles, and indeed with Ma Long's strength and previous records, he has been doing some "impossible" thing.
For this time to participate in the WTT Macau Championship, Ma Long also accepted an interview, Ma Long said that as early as March 2020, the national table tennis had been trained in Macau, so he is still familiar with here, but also felt the enthusiasm and support of the locals for table tennis, this time he can return to the field, Ma Long's answer is "After the Olympic Games, after a period of adjustment, it is time to return to the table tennis field I love and dedicate a wonderful game to the fans who love me". Through Malone's speech, you can still feel the veteran's confidence in himself and his love for table tennis.
The WTT Macau Championship will have three competitions, including men's singles, women's singles and mixed doubles, a total of three events, of which 32 player positions in men's and women's singles, mixed doubles have 16 pairs, such a game I believe many fans are also very much looking forward to.
