On January 20th, the WTT Macau Tournament will be contested until the second day of competition, today's competition has a lot to watch, the singles field is the focus, Ma Long PK Liang Jingkun, Liu Shiwen PK Wang Yidi is the focus of the focus. Today's game is destined to have a number of world champions out of the first round, which is very cruel.
In this Macau competition, there are only 3 events, namely men's singles, women's singles and mixed doubles. Since there are only 4 seeded players in the men's singles and women's singles, and the other players are randomly drawn, there are many strong confrontations in the first round of competition.
- Men's Singles Focus:
Ma Long vs Liang Jingkun
Malone is a super doubles grand slam and is the best men's singles player in the history of table tennis. Although he has not trained systematically recently, no one should underestimate his champion's heart. Liang Jingkun grew up in the past two years of national table tennis, he is second only to Ma Long, Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong in the national table tennis, and his strength is very strong.
Judging by its strength and recent status, it is on par. The two have played each other many times in domestic and international schedules, And Malone has won more than he lost, but Ma Long has not had systematic training recently, and his belief in winning the championship in this competition is not too strong, and the result is difficult to predict. Whoever loses will have a world champion out.
Xiang Peng vs Sun Wen
Xiang Peng and Sun Wen are both young players of the national table tennis generation, and their duel is very worth watching. Xiang Peng won two gold medals in men's singles and men's team at the 2021 World Youth Championships, and is the leader of the younger generation. Sun Wen began to compete in the international arena last year, and has defeated international first-class players such as Zhang Benzhihe, which is also very prominent.
Their game will determine who will rush into the men's team's first-line main squad in the future, and the two of them and Lin Shidong will be strong contenders for the future men's singles main force.
- Women's Singles Focus Battle
Liu Shiwen vs Wang Yidi
Liu Shiwen is the oldest player in the national table tennis women's team and the player who has won the most world championships. Wang Yidi improved very much last year and has been among the five main lineups of women's singles. Liu Shiwen currently has no systematic training and is in a semi-retired state, but her speed and strength still have advantages in women's table tennis. Wang Yidi is a representative of the power faction, if she plays smoothly, no one in the women's table tennis can stop her.
However, table tennis is a game of control and anti-control, whether Liu Shiwen can continue to persevere, the result of this ball will play a big role. If Liu Shiwen wins, she should be able to continue to insist, and if she loses, she may be more determined to retire. Whoever they loses, they have a world champion out.
Wang Manyu vs Ku Man
Wang Manyu is the 2021 World Table Tennis Championships women's singles champion, and Ku Man is the 2021 World Youth Championship women's singles champion. This match is a contest between the adult champions and the youth champions, both of whom are individual career upswings, and their direct duels will determine whether the youngsters can enter the main level in advance.
However, in terms of hard power, Wang Manyu is still stronger. However, Kuman's future is worth looking forward to, and I hope that she can find a direction to continue to improve through this game.
These four singles matches are all the focus, all are top duels, each with its own point of view. Some games, the future path of the relationship players, and some games, the relationship players retired or not, are worth looking forward to.
The other singles matches were: Xu Xin vs Zhao Zihao; Yuan Licen vs Xu Yingbin; Chen Xingtong vs Qian Tianyi; Sun Yingsha vs He Zhuojia. These games will also be very exciting, it is a world-class competition.
