The signing table for the Macau tournament has been released, and since the national table tennis team has sent an all-star team to participate, the competition in Macau can be imagined to be fierce. First of all, looking at the men's singles field, the top seed Fan Zhendong and the main teammate Lin Gaoyuan were in the top half. In the first game, Fan Zhendong faced Zhang Zicheng and advanced to the quarterfinals without pressure, but then it is possible to encounter young player Yuan Licen. Lin Gaoyuan is more troublesome, whether it is Lin Shidong or Zhou Qihao in the quarterfinals, there is a risk of getting out.
The competition in the lower half of the men's singles is more intense, with Xu Xin, Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun and Ma Long all in the same half. Ma Long and Xu Xin have not participated in international competitions for a long time, and this time facing the young teammates who participated in the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, there is really no certainty of winning. Moreover, Ma Long will fight Liang Jingkun in the first game, which can be described as a disadvantage. Not only that, in the mixed doubles signing table, Ma Long partner Qian Tianyi faced the new generation of mixed doubles main combination Sun Yingsha / Wang Chuqin in the first game, and both competitions were unfavorable.
The women's singles table is fairer, with three main players in each of the upper and lower halves. Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Chen Xing are in the first half of the district, but Chen Meng's first match against Du Kaixuan, the player once created difficulties for Chen Meng at the Olympic Games, and now the two meet in advance, Chen Meng can not be taken lightly. Wang Manyu needs to accept the challenge of World Youth Champion Ku Man, the first meeting between the World Table Tennis Champion and the World Youth Champion, which is also the highlight of the women's singles field.
Liu Shiwen, Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha are divided into the same half of the three main forces. Liu Shiwen has not participated in the competition for a long time, and as soon as she came up, she encountered the newly promoted main force Wang Yidi, and the pressure of promotion can be imagined. Even if Wang Yidi is successfully eliminated, it is possible to meet Sun Yingsha next, and Liu Shiwen needs to face the 2 young main forces. According to Liu Shiwen's current state, participating in competitions is not to compete for results, but to enjoy the last time of her career.
The mixed doubles competition mainly depends on the performance of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen 2 pairs. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are the mixed doubles champions of the Xinke World Table Tennis Championships, who won the championship in last year's Olympic simulation competition against Xinwen Group. There is no doubt that with Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen gradually withdrawing from the arena, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are expected to join hands in the mixed doubles competition at the Paris Olympic Games. In the first game they will face Malone/Qian Tianyi, and the pressure to advance is not too much.
Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen played against Xu Yingbin/Liu Weishan in the first round, and the pressure to advance was not too much. If the game goes well, the new and old main combinations of national table tennis are expected to meet in the final. However, the combination of Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Manyu can not be ignored, the two of them have partnered with American players to participate in the mixed doubles competition of the World Table Tennis Championships, although the results are average, but the combination of the two still has a certain deterrent. They directly threaten Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen and are expected to meet in the semi-finals. If Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha succeed in winning the championship, they can make a good start to this year's competition.
