The table tennis Macau Championship has ended, Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu won the men's singles and women's singles championships respectively, and Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, who returned to the international arena, joined forces to win the mixed doubles championship, and the two also reached the singles final four, and the above players can be called the big winners of this competition. Every game has a winner, of course, there are also frustrated people, it is clear that Wang Yidi and Zhou Qihao did not have satisfactory results, and the two played two games each and got out early.
Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, the national table tennis will definitely give young players more opportunities, on the one hand, to lay the foundation for the Olympic Games, on the other hand, to make the competition within the team more intense, you catch up with me to make the team stronger. Because of this, age-appropriate players like Wang Yidi and Zhou Qihao have been given the opportunity to participate in individual World Table Tennis Championships. Wang Yidi played well, and he took the podium for the first time to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, and Zhou Qihao continued to work hard.
This Macao Championship, Wang Yidi encountered Liu Shiwen in the first round, from the past confrontation between the two, Liu Shiwen has the upper hand, but Liu Shiwen has not participated in the official competition for a long time, nor has he carried out systematic training, Wang Yidi is in the rising period, the world ranking has come to the fifth place, even Xu Xin said that when he saw Liu Shiwen's lottery results, the first feeling was not very good.
As a result, Wang Yidi, who was known as Ito's nemesis, was suppressed by Liu Shiwen and lost 1-3. In addition, Wang Yidi and Yuan Licen partnered in mixed doubles, and were also eliminated in the first round. Originally, Wang Yidi was optimistic about the outside world, and hoped to impact the final four or even the champion in this competition, but became a spectator after playing two games in the first round. Whether it is the technical level or the psychological level, Wang Yidi still has a big gap, and he can only continue to work hard.
Chow is a major singles player at the World Table Tennis Championships, but he performed averagely at the World Table Tennis Championships, and this Macau Championship is a good opportunity for him to prove himself again. The result? In the first round of men's singles, he lost 2-3 to young player Lin Shidong, mixed doubles, Zhou Qihao partner He Zhuojia, also out of the first round. Zhou Qihao is 25 years old, and with his outstanding performance in the team's direct competition, he got the opportunity to participate in the competition, but the result was not ideal.
Chinese men's table tennis is also very fierce competition, Wang Chuqin, Xu Yingbin, Xiang Peng, Lin Shidong and other young players are younger than Zhou Qihao, if Zhou Qihao can not make a breakthrough in the international competition, it is difficult to get key training. To put it simply, Zhou Qihao has several main players in front of him, and there are young people behind him who are accelerating to catch up, Zhou Qihao has no advantage in age or achievement, and his position is actually more awkward.
Of course, one or two games can not explain too many problems, I hope that Wang Yidi, Zhou Qihao, Qian Tianyi, He Zhuojia, these age-appropriate players can summarize their shortcomings in time, find problems through the game, and then strive for good results in the next game!
