Mention Liu Shiwen, many fans will feel sorry for her, she debuted with the aura of a talented girl, when she was 18 years old, she won the Women's Singles Championship of the World Cup, and since then the World Cup has become her blessed land, and has won the Singles Championship of the World Cup five times, which is the athlete who has won the most championships in the history of the World Cup.
In addition, liu Shiwen won the women's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships at the age of 28, and also became the oldest player in The First Chinese Women's Table Tennis to win the World Table Tennis Championships Singles Championships.
However, it is such a very powerful athlete, in his career of more than ten years, but he has never been able to qualify for the Olympic Games, and is considered to have the strength of a Grand Slam, but he cannot realize the dream of a Grand Slam!
When it comes to Liu Shiwen's career, many fans may think that her most regrettable game was at the 2015 Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, in the women's singles final, Liu Shiwen pulled two consecutive sets in a row to drag the game into the decider, but in the decider, after Ding Ning was injured and forced to apply for a medical suspension, Liu Shiwen lost the game.
Many fans believe that this match is the most regrettable thing for Liu Shiwen, if Liu Shiwen can win the women's singles final of the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, she is likely to qualify for the Rio Olympic Games and is expected to win the championship, thus achieving the dream of a Grand Slam.
But in fact, in Liu Shiwen's heart, the most regrettable match is not the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, but the women's singles semifinals of the 2011 Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships.
The 2011 Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships was the first world table tennis single event after Zhang Yining retired, and among the five main players of Chinese women's table tennis at that time, only Guo Yue had previously won the singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships, but it was difficult for Guo Yue to defeat the other four main players at that time.
Therefore, who can stand out at the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships will undoubtedly take the lead in the competition of the London Olympic Games.
At that time, the five main players of Chinese women's table tennis were: Guo Yue, Li Xiaoxia, Liu Shiwen, Guo Yan and Ding Ning. However, in the previous year's World Table Tennis Championships in Moscow, Ding Ning Liu Shiwen lost successively, causing the Chinese women's table tennis to lose the team World Table Tennis Championships, which also made them bear a lot of psychological pressure.
In this World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Shiwen's opponent in the quarterfinals was The veteran Guo Yan of the Beijing team, before, Liu Shiwen had lost to Guo Yan many times, but in this game, Liu Shiwen played very well, and defeated Guo Yan with a score of 4-0.
Liu Shiwen's semi-final opponent is Ding Ning. Ding Ning defeated Singapore's Feng Tianwei in the previous quarterfinals.
This is a very good opportunity for Liu Shiwen to reach the final.
Because before this game, Liu Shiwen had already won five consecutive victories against Ding Ning! This includes competitions such as the year-end finals.
Ding Ning is also very helpless about this, Ding Ning once said that no matter how well he fights, he can never defeat Liu Shiwen, and during that time, Liu Shiwen has become Ding Ning's biggest nemesis!
However, in the semi-finals of Rotterdam, after the start of the game, the first set of the two people competed very fiercely, and Liu Shiwen won the first set with a score of 13-11 at the key moment, which was also a good start.
But in the second set, Ding Ning quickly pulled back a set with a color, 11-9 score!
In the third set, Liu Shiwen once again occupied the advantage on the field, winning another set with a score of 11-8 to lead 2-1.
It seems that Liu Shiwen is not far from victory.
However, from the beginning of the fourth game, Ding Ning made a decisive change, standing more forward, and strengthening the active attack, and Ding Ning's change made Liu Shiwen very difficult to adapt! 11-6, Ding Ning once again equalized the big score!
In the fifth game, Ding Ning became more and more courageous, and Liu Shiwen began to be anxious, which also caused Liu Shiwen to make too many unnecessary mistakes! Ding Ning started with a 5-1 lead! And finally won another set with an 11-8 score, Ding Ning reversed the big score and led 3-2.
At this time, Liu Shiwen's mentality was even more chaotic, and during the break between rounds, Liu Shiwen took out her usual training book and tried to find a way to deal with Ding Ning from above.
Sure enough, after the start of the sixth game, Liu Shiwen took a 2-0, 5-3 lead, but Ding Ning quickly adjusted his batting rhythm in time, which disrupted Liu Shiwen's scoring momentum!
Ding Ning soon scored consecutive points to win the score 6-5, after which Liu Shiwen gradually got bigger and more chaotic, Ding Ning scored consecutive points, ending the battle with an 11-6 score!
In the finals, everyone also knows that Ding Ning defeated Li Xiaoxia 4-2 to win his first World Table Tennis Singles Championships championship, and also became the first World Table Tennis Singles Champion after Zhang Yining retired. He eventually qualified for the London Olympics in singles.
And Liu Shiwen did not make a breakthrough, and finally only qualified for the P card of the London Olympic Games!
Many years later, when Liu Shiwen talked about the Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, she also felt very sorry for this match, Liu Shiwen said: If I had defeated Ding Ning and won the championship, the person who might have "walked out of the shadow of Moscow" would be herself.
Liu Shiwen said that rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships, her own state is particularly good, that is, to run to the championship, and in the semi-final against Ding Ning, I have an absolute advantage, as long as I play normally, I will definitely be able to defeat Ding Ning.
And Ding Ning has always been weak in the game with me, she has always been very afraid of me, so in the game with Ding Ning, I have always held the psychology of luck, thinking that since I can defeat the bitter lord Guo Yan in the 1/4 final and defeat my maid Ding Ning in the semi-final, it is not very easy.
Unexpectedly, in the game, Ding Ning went out, but I played more and more and more, and finally lost the game.
And this game, but also became a watershed in the career of Liu Shiwen and Ding Ning, before that, Liu Shiwen obviously had an advantage over Ding Ning, but after this game, Ding Ning soon became the top two main players of Chinese women's table tennis, and Liu Shiwen was overtaken by Ding Ning in the corner.
