The International Table Tennis Federation announced the list of qualified players of various associations in the Singapore Grand Slam tournament in March, as the world's first strong team, the Chinese team got the qualification of 16 men and women, the world champion Zhu Yuling, who has been in the lineup for a long time, is impressively listed, and Liu Fei, a female player who has withdrawn from the national team, and Zheng Peifeng of the men's team also appeared in this list, it can be determined that 2 people will definitely not participate in this competition, although this is not the final national table tennis lineup, but there are 32 players who are eligible to participate in the Grand Slam. It proves that the status of world hegemony is unshakable.
Women's team: Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Liu Shiwen, Sun Yingsha, Chen Xingtong, Zhu Yuling, Qian Tianyi, Wang Yidi, He Zhuojia, Liu Fei, Sun Mingyang, Liu Weishan, Zhang Rui, Gu Yuting, Zhang Qiang, Fan Siqi
Next month's Singapore Grand Slam is the highest standard international table tennis event this year, the points are equivalent to the Olympic level, the singles champion has 2,000 points in the account, the prize money is also higher than the general challenge, a total of 2 million US dollars, in order to a large number of points, not to fall behind in the world rankings, the main force of national table tennis will definitely go all. Although the final registration deadline of February 15 has not yet arrived, the women's team's Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Liu Shiwen, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong will definitely participate, after all, the top players will be surpassed by their opponents in terms of points if they do not participate in international competitions. Not surprisingly, the 6 main players of national table tennis will carry out a large package of women's singles projects.
Considering the quota limit, there will certainly be no 16 female players who will be qualified to participate, in addition to the 6 main players of the women's team, the young Ku man, Qian Tianyi and the two left-handed crossboard players are the most likely to get the opportunity to participate, both have certain potential in the singles and doubles field, and they are also the women's singles champions of the World Youth Championships. World champion Zhu Yuling, although on the list, but the chance of participation is small, she has not resumed training after the operation, I am afraid it is difficult to appear in the Grand Slam arena, in addition, Liu Fei has withdrawn from the national team, basically no hope of appearing in the international arena again.
Men's team: Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Xu Xin, Wang Chuqin, Yu Ziyang, Zhou Qihao, Zhao Zihao, Xiang Peng, Xu Chenhao, Xu Yingbin, Sun Wen, Xu Haidong, Yan An, Zheng Peifeng
Like the women's team, in order to maintain the points ranking of the main players, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin will appear in Singapore's Grand Slam tournament without accident. Fan Zhendong is currently ranked No. 1 in men's singles in the world and is expected to continue to be hot and win 2,000 points in a Grand Slam event, but Ma Long and Liang Jingkun are most likely to challenge Fan Zhendong's supremacy.
Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong, the two major hope stars of the national table tennis men's team, both reached the men's singles quarterfinals in the Macau tournament, but Lin Shidong failed to qualify in the Grand Slam tournament, Xiang Peng is very hopeful to obtain a place to represent the national table tennis, and Zhou Qihao and Xu Yingbin can be shortlisted for the Grand Slam national table tennis squad with their performances in the past year. Zhang Peifeng, who has retired, is also on the list released by the International Table Tennis Federation, and it is impossible to appear as an athlete in the Singapore Grand Slam.
