Not long ago, the International Table Tennis Federation has just announced the players who are qualified to participate in the Grand Slam held in Singapore in March, and its Chinese table tennis has as many as 32 people who qualify for the Grand Slam Tournament, even Zheng Peifeng, who has retired, Zhu Yuling, who has not recovered from injuries, and Liu Fei, who has withdrawn from the national team. Immediately after the International Table Tennis Federation soon announced the official participation list, the result of the Chinese men's and women's teams with an absolute main lineup of 12 people, the women's team veteran Liu Shiwen and the men's team world number one Fan Zhendong led the game, is expected to win the championship in five events.
The men's national table tennis team sent Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin to compete. 25-year-old Fan Zhendong is the Chinese men's team carrying the banner of the Paris Olympic cycle, his attack and defense are very balanced, and in the year of the fight, when Ma Long and other veterans are on the verge of retirement, he still provoked the men's team beam, became the stint of the world championship men's singles champion, and then won the championship in the subsequent World Cup finals, the men's singles world ranking top position is difficult to shake in a short period of time, Singapore's Grand Slam Fan Zhendong is still the men's singles number one to win the championship.
Ma Long and Xu Xin temporarily left the international arena after the National Games, and Ma Long once gave up the excellent opportunity to win the world championship men's singles four consecutive championships in order to adjust his state, but in the case of the Macau Championships, Ma Long and Xu Xin have maintained a good state and are expected to continue to fight in the international table tennis arena. In the stage of the Olympic Games and the World Championships, Fan Zhendong has never broken through the barrier of Ma Long, just like When Ma Long has not been able to win Wang Hao, it is waiting for the precipitation of time and the accumulation of experience.
Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin are relatively young players in the main squad, Liang Jingkun ranks 5th in the world in front of liang Jingkun, ranks 3rd in the national table tennis, Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Chuqin have not yet scored singles medals at the World Championships, and the three want to really participate in the Paris Olympic Games, they must use the men's singles title to increase their persuasiveness.
The 31-year-old Liu Shiwen continues to work towards the singles quota for the Paris Olympics, and although she gave up the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and the world ranking also fell to 17th, Liu Shiwen's two Houston Women's Singles Medalists at Selengke Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha in Macau proved that her strength still occupies a place in the Chinese women's team. This Grand Slam tournament is also a favorable time for Liu Shiwen to improve the world rankings, as long as she singles into the semi-finals or higher results, Liu Shiwen is expected to return to the top 10 in the world rankings.
Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu are on the road to the world's top spot, and the results of each competition may affect the position change of the three people, although Wang Manyu is currently ranked No. 4 in the world, as long as he maintains a good state since 2021, it is sooner or later to surpass Ito. Chen Meng has lost consecutive world championships and World Cup finals since the Olympic Games, and without a championship, she was overtaken by Sun Yingsha.
Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong have been approaching the main lineup of the women's team, through the performance of the recent Macau match, there is still a certain gap with the absolute main forces such as Liu Shiwen and Wang Manyu, and they must strive to defeat Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Ito Meicheng in the hard-hitting confrontation in the Grand Slam arena to have the hope of increasing self-confidence and improving their personal record.
Although the players of the foreign association, especially the biggest rival Japan team, have not yet determined the lineup, it is believed that the main players such as Zhang Benzhihe, Ito Mimachi, and Hayata Hina will not miss such opportunities, and it is expected to pass the main force of national table tennis. In addition, Pol, Calderano, Lin Yunru, Feng Tianwei and other major opponents of the world's top 10 have been determined to go to Singapore to compete!
