At the Grand Slam Tournament held in Singapore on March 7, 2022, although the International Table Tennis Federation announced 32 people who are eligible for the national table tennis competition, the real lineup of the national table tennis has yet to be reported to the national table tennis federation, and it is not expected to exceed the size of 20 people. However, so far there are 13 national table tennis rivals who have been confirmed to participate, the main player of the 2010 World Table Tennis Championships Feng Tianwei as the biggest star of the host will not be absent, and the Swedish dark horse youngster Moregard, who shined in the men's singles field of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and won the runner-up, will also go, and other players include Du Kaixuan, Diaz, Zheng Yijing, Szokos, Gana Sekarang, Calderano, Lin Yunru, Pol, Simon Gauc, Omar and Aruna.
The 36-year-old Feng Tianwei was once the number one rival of China's women's table tennis in Beijing and London in the two Olympic cycles, she showed a strong upward momentum at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, if it were not for Zhang Yining's excellent psychological quality, I am afraid that any other player would be swept away by Feng Tianwei, and the women's singles 1/4 final was later widely praised as a classic. In 2010, in the absence of Wang Nan and Zhang Yining for the first time, Feng Tianwei won two points in a row to help Singapore defeat the Chinese women's team 3-1 and reach the peak of her career. Now that Feng Tianwei is close to twilight, it is difficult to shake the main force of the Chinese women's team to win, and the world's 9th-ranked host will reach the quarterfinals of the Grand Slam women's singles field is a victory.
Sweden's Moregold continued his brother Falke's strength in the men's singles at last year's World Championships, and in the chaotic lower half of the men's singles, he became more and more courageous, reaching the final and losing to Fan Zhendong to take the second place. Moregold is only 20 years old this year, as early as 2 years ago as the successor of Waldner emerged, but in addition to Fan Zhendong, the national table tennis generals have not yet met with Moregold, Singapore Grand Slam national table tennis in the face of rich points will basically participate in the main lineup, then the time to test Moregold's true level has arrived, with his current level, I am afraid it is difficult to defeat the main players of national table tennis.
Also confirmed to compete are Hong Kong's Du Kaixuan, Taiwan's Zheng Yijing, Puerto Rico's Diaz and Romania's Szokos. Du Kaixuan's state of the past year has been bursting, playing with Chen Meng in the women's singles quarterfinals of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and defeating wang Manyu, the women's singles champion of the Xinke World Table Tennis Championships, in the World Cup finals at the end of the year, becoming one of the few strong opponents who can break the wrist with the main force of national table tennis. Although Zheng Yijing and Diaz have never defeated the main players of national table tennis, they have always maintained first-class standards in the world women's line, and Romania's Szokos was once the European champion.
In addition to Moregold, there are 7 rivals in the tournament: Ganana Sekran, Calderano, Lin Yunru, Bohr, Simon Gauc, Omar and Aruna. The 42-year-old German veteran Bohr, who is currently ranked No. 8 in the world and has been plagued by injuries since winning the men's singles third place at the World Championships, will be his first stop in the new year. Lin Yunru, who has changed coaches, will also appear in the Grand Slam tournament, and his performance is worth looking forward to.
As the number one opponent of national table tennis, the Japanese team has not announced the lineup at present, but it is certain that the Japanese team, which has always been known as a "labor model", will not let go of such a good opportunity, and the main player is no problem, but if you want to win a good result, you still have to rely on the play of Zhang Benzhi and Ito Mimachi.
