A few days ago, the WTT World Table Tennis Federation announced the first WTT Singapore Grand Slam competition quota, the Chinese team in the singles, basically out of the main force, men's table tennis Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun and women's table tennis Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong and Liu Shiwen and other main players will participate.
Judging from this all-main force, the Chinese team still attaches great importance to this competition, after all, this is the first Grand Slam event.
In doubles, the Chinese team sent Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu to compete.
And from the doubles lineup, we can roughly see the layout of the national table tennis in the Paris Olympic Games!
In the men's doubles, the Chinese team sent Fan Zhendong Wang Chuqin to this pair, for Xu Xin, who had always been considered a doubles player before, this time he did not let Xu Xin play in the men's doubles competition, which basically meant that Xu Xin had completely missed the Paris Olympics.
After all, Xu Xin is now 32 years old, and his state and strength, at present, not only can not be compared with Ma Long Fan Zhendong, even compared with young players, Xu Xin has no advantage.
In particular, the loss of foreign wars in two consecutive Olympic Games marks that Xu Xin has completely missed the Paris Olympic Games.
The dispatch of Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong this time is enough to see that the national team has begun to increase the training of Wang Chuqin.
In the women's doubles, the Chinese team sent Sun Yingsha Wang Manyu to this pair.
Sun Yingsha Wang Manyu can be said to be the most powerful women's doubles combination in Chinese women's table tennis, and they have won the women's doubles championship in two consecutive World Table Tennis Championships, which is enough to see the strength of these two people.
In addition, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu not only achieved very good results in doubles, but also in singles.
Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha successfully met in the final of the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston last year, and the two are also expected to become the hegemons of the new generation of women's table tennis, this Singapore Grand Slam, Sun Yingsha Wang Manyu combined to play, which also means that the two are likely to play in the women's team competition of the Paris Olympic Games, as their first doubles competition!
In terms of mixed doubles, the Chinese team sent Sun Yingsha Wang Chuqin this time.
Sun Yingsha Wang Chuqin's combination is another pair of very good young players cultivated by the national table tennis after Liu Shiwen Xu Xin.
Although there is still a gap between the two and Liu Shiwen Xu Xin in the experience of the competition, the pressure resistance of the two people is obviously more than that of Liu Shiwen Xu Xin, a mixed doubles combination. The two swept Japan's Zhang Benzhi and Hayata Hina at the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and won the championship strongly.
And Liu Shiwen Xu Xin did not have the opportunity to play in the mixed doubles of the Singapore Grand Slam this time, which also means that the mixed doubles of the two have been abandoned, and I am afraid that the two will have certain difficulties if they want to play again in the future competitions.
At present, the national team has a positioning for Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, that is, if there is no accident, the Paris Olympic Games, these four people are likely to play.
As for Ma Long and Chen Meng, they are already veterans, whether they can play in the Paris Olympics two years later depends on the state of the two at that time, and whether there are young players rushing up!
