March 2022, is the grand carnival of table tennis fans, from March 7 to 20, 14 match days, will be the first leg of the WTT Grand Slam, the associations are full of masters, the national table tennis is to send all the main forces to play, is bound to make this schedule into the history of table tennis, for the WTT trial to make a good start. Fans certainly won't miss it, and the Singapore Grand Slam on March 7 will keep us waiting and seeing.

Women's Singles, Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Wang Yidi
Men's Doubles, Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin
Women's Doubles, Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu
Mixed doubles, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha
From the national table tennis list, it can be seen that the main players of the national table tennis all participated, including Ma Long Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, after all, these veterans gradually withdrew from large-scale events, want to see them again, indeed the opportunities are getting less and less, and being able to participate in the Grand Slam really makes the fans more happy. In addition, the Grand Slam sends a pair of men's doubles and women's doubles and mixed doubles, which is also due to the rules.
The men's doubles is Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, and the women's doubles is Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, the mixed doubles is Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, in this Grand Slam tournament, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are still thunderous and three, this list is announced, it does make many Sun Yingsha fans do not understand, why Sun Yingsha is still three at the same time?
For neutral fans, such a platoon is very suitable, because in the women's doubles, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu have always been the presence of hegemons, and the first women's doubles championship of this Grand Slam tournament cannot be lost, because the masters in the foreign association are gathered, especially the main opponents of Japanese table tennis, Ito Mimachi and Hayata Shina, who will play, which is a great threat.
In addition, the mixed doubles combination of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha has always been very stable, and it is the champion combination of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, and among other associations, there are Lin Yunru Zheng Yijing, Zhang Benzhi and Hayata Xina, all of whom are very strong opponents, and the national table tennis must send the strongest partner to be able to win the game.
But for Sun Yingsha's fans, although such a platoon is also very reasonable, but what is the positioning of Sun Yingsha, has always been a topic of concern to fans, two years ago, Sun Yingsha came to the fore, won a number of championships, and at that time Sun Yingsha appeared as a direct opponent of Ito Mimako, in the World Table Tennis Championships and Open Championships and team World Cup matches, including the Olympic Games, Sun Yingsha can complete the tasks assigned by the national table tennis coaching team. But should Sun Yingsha be the focus of singles training after that?
Paris cycle, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu competition is very fierce, Wang Manyu has won the women's singles championship, and Sun Yingsha has lost the women's singles champion in many competitions, Sun Yingsha's fans believe that Sun Yingsha has been in three events many times, although young and vigorous, but the final between high levels, physical strength will be a huge obstacle.
This can't help but make fans think of Liu Shiwen, Liu Shiwen actually formed a mixed doubles partner with Xu Xin before Budapest, and the national table tennis coaching team hoped that Liu Shiwen could participate in the Olympic Games with a team qualification, but the hope of the women's singles champion of the Budapest World Table Tennis Championships and the disappointment of the postponement of the Olympic Games made Liu Shiwen decline due to injury and illness, and lost the opportunity to participate in women's singles qualification. Also missed the Grand Slam.
If it is because Liu Shiwen and Ito Mimachi are in the inferior position, this is also understandable, but Sun Yingsha's current positioning and the singles training of the Paris cycle are also contrary to the road, blindly letting Sun Yingsha be a three-sport, physical strength is a test, and there is a risk of injury, in addition, if because of physical strength and three reasons, resulting in Sun Yingsha's many times without a chance with the championship, and the competition for women's table tennis is very fierce, if there is a better player, then Sun Yingsha in the Paris Olympic Games, may be the same as Liu Shiwen, There can only be one group qualification.
summary
In fact, there is no problem with the platoon deployment of the Grand Slam, but Sun Yingsha's positioning has also aroused the doubts of fans, often holding three, and there is still a certain obstacle to Sun Yingsha's singles championship. In addition, the positioning given by the national table tennis coaching team is not excluded, and Sun Yingsha may be the group candidate of the Paris cycle. If not, I hope that the national table tennis coaching team will take a serious look at the problem of Sun Yingsha's three events, and do not let Sun Yingsha's fans think more.
