The WTT Macau Championship was successfully concluded.
In the last two finals, Wang Manyu defeated Liu Shiwen 4-0 to win the women's singles championship. Wang Chuqin narrowly defeated Lin Gaoyuan 4-3 to win the men's singles championship. The gold content of these two championships is very high. Wang Manyu defeated chen xingtong, Chen Meng, and Liu Shiwen, and Wang Chuqin defeated ma long, Xu Xin, and Lin Gaoyuan.
Wang Manyu has been really proud of the recent spring breeze, she has won the Women's Singles Championship of the National Games, the Women's Singles and Women's Doubles Championships of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships. Coupled with the women's singles champion of the WTT Macau Championship, Wang Manyu has won three singles titles. In the past, Wang Manyu won few singles titles. Since winning the team gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Manyu's self-confidence has improved, and his overall temperament has also improved.
Wang Chuqin is regarded as the star of hope for men's table tennis, but under the suppression of Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and others, it is difficult for him to win the men's singles championship. This time, he finally won the men's singles championship, and he also defeated masters such as Ma Long and Xu Xin. This is good for his growth and can boost his self-confidence.
The award ceremony was held after the match. Liu Guoliang and other award guests took the stage first. The first is to award the women's singles winners, Liu Shiwen and Wang Manyu took the stage to receive the award.
Although she only won the runner-up in women's singles, she was already very satisfied with the veteran Liu Shiwen. The three veterans of the Dragon Python Jujube all rested after the National Games and did not participate in the competition. After 5 months of re-entering the competition, the medals that can still be won are very good. Xu Xin only won the third place, and he couldn't even get on the podium. Malone did not make it to the final four. Liu Shiwen stood on the podium with a smile and accepted flowers, silver medals, silver cups, and cash check cards. She received a $54,000 prize, which translates into 342,000 yuan. Liu Shiwen is still a mixed doubles champion, which is also an award. Liu Shiwen was full of harvest and smiled happily.
Wang Manyu received flowers, gold medals, gold cups, and $75,000 in prize money, which was converted into 475,000 yuan. Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, personally presented Wang Manyu with a trophy. Before the award, Liu Guoliang and Wang Manyu clapped their hands and congratulated Wang Manyu.
Then the award guests took a group photo with the champions and runners-up. Liu Shiwen and Wang Manyu stood together for a group photo, and finally the champion Wang Manyu took a photo alone.
This is followed by the awards given to the men's winning players. Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan took the stage to receive the award. The award process is the same as that of the women's singles. Liu Guoliang presented the trophy to champion Wang Chuqin. He also high-fived Wang Chuqin.
However, unlike giving Wang Manyu an award, Liu Guoliang sent the trophy to Wang Chuqin's hand and touched Wang Chuqin's face by the way. Liu Guoliang did this, but also as an encouragement.
On fan zhendong's birthday, the organizer held a simple birthday celebration ceremony for Fan Zhendong. At that time, Fan Zhendong just lost the game in the singles semifinals and did not have the opportunity to compete for the championship in the end, and his mood was somewhat lost. Liu Guoliang came to comfort him and pointed out Fan Zhendong's problems. Liu Guoliang believes that Fan Zhendong wants to celebrate his birthday with victory too much, but instead fights very tightly and does not play his own level.
Liu Guoliang touched Fan Zhendong's face and comforted Fan Zhendong like a father: "You have proved yourself, very good." Fan Zhendong was very moved and almost shed tears.
Liu Guoliang likes to show encouragement by touching his face. Ma Lin, Ma Long, Zhang Jike and other team members have all been touched by him in the face. Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and other good performing players have been encouraged by him in this way. However Chinese is more subtle, and the average man will not casually touch the woman's face. This is why Liu Guoliang would touch Wang Chuqin's face instead of Wang Manyu's face. This is all avoidance of suspicion and does not cause misunderstandings or topics. From these small details, it can be seen that Liu Guoliang's character is very good.
In the mixed doubles final, Xu Xin/ Liu Shiwen defeated Fan Zhendong / Ku Man 3-0 to win the mixed doubles title. The two veterans have taken a long break since the National Games last August. This time the two comebacks to win the championship are very remarkable. The award ceremony was also held after the match.
Mixed doubles champion Xu Xin/ Liu Shiwen received $40,000 in prize money, and mixed doubles runner-up Fan Zhendong/Ku Man received $25,000 in prize money. These players have gained a lot through this competition. Congratulations to them!
Counting, Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu both received $75,000 in prize money, and Liu Shiwen had a prize of $54,000 + 20,000 = $74,000. Lin Gaoyuan has a $54,000 prize. Other national table tennis players have different amounts of bonuses. Such a competition is really more to participate in.
