Affected by the new crown epidemic, the ITTF postponed the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships to September this year. This news has little impact on young players, but for Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, their opportunities to participate in the competition should be gone.
In terms of the women's team, Liu Shiwen's highlight in the Macau tournament cannot replace any of the "five golden flowers".
Liu Shiwen defeated Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha in the Macau Tournament to reach the women's singles final, but even with such a highlight, it is difficult for Xiao Zao to enter the team lineup of the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships. At present, the national table tennis women's team has formed a situation of Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xing and the five main players, and the 30-year-old Liu Shiwen cannot replace any of them.
1. Sasha Wang Manyu lifted up half of the sky, and Chen Mengyuwei still existed. Our main opponent at the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships is still the Japanese women's team. For the national table tennis "five golden flowers", Sasha has repelled Ito in 6 consecutive competitions since 2019, and the women's doubles combination of Sasha and Wang Manyu has defeated Ito and Hina Hayata at the World Table Tennis Championships for 2 consecutive times. It can be said that in the women's team competition, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu can stand up to half the sky. 28-year-old Chen Mengyu wei is still there, don't look at her against Wang Manyu has lost 6 consecutive games, in the women's group as the No. 3 singles, playing a dozen Ishikawa Yoshijun, her strength is still higher than the Japanese team. Wang Yidi in last year's World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup Finals, one person repelled three players, Ito Mimako, Hitomi Sato, and Hina Hayata, showing a very strong stability of strength.
Chen Xingtong is the only player in the national table tennis who "doubled" Ito Mimako in the Open. On the contrary, in addition to the "five golden flowers", Liu Shiwen has maintained a 2-game defeat against Ito Mimako, and the two people are still fighting as far as 2018. At the Tokyo Olympics, Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin also lost to Ito and Mizutani Hayabusa and lost the mixed doubles gold medal. Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, whether it is a singles in the team or a women's doubles, Liu Shiwen has no place. For her, who is on the verge of retirement, it is a good choice to participate in the WTT series of commercial competitions. As long as you are ranked in the top 16, you can participate in the WTT Grand Slam, Liu Shiwen herself is willing to stick to it, that like Ni Xialian to play until the age of 58, it does not matter. Because, this kind of commercial competition, unlike the three competitions, has a limit of 2-3 places for one association.
Xu Xin's singles ability has declined seriously, and his experience in the competition is stronger than that of young players, and he and Ma Long are "candidates".
Unlike Liu Shiwen, Xu Xin and Ma Long still retain the possibility of first-line participation in the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships. Since Zhou Qihao and Lin Gaoyuan's foreign war is not very stable, it is not certain whether Liu Guoliang reused Xu Xin and Ma Long for the purpose of protecting the championship.
1. Ma Long is more likely to participate than Xu Xin, and it is unlikely that there will be 2 left hands in the team competition. As far as the current men's team is concerned, only Xiao Fat is relatively stable in the competition. Liang Jingkun in the World Cup finals, was blasted by Aruna 11:1 elimination, Zhou Qihao trained for 9 years, is still the level of foreign war round trip, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, Xu Xin three left hand, for the consideration of men's doubles pairing, should be "three to choose one" strategy. Lin Gaoyuan's style of play is soft, the psychological quality of the competition is not passed, from the macau men's singles champion showdown, Wang Chuqin bites the confidence of the final victory is more tough.
In addition, the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships is basically a preview of the Paris Olympic Men's Team, Wang Chuqin will definitely play mixed doubles with Sun Yingsha, so among the three left-handed players, Wang Chuqin has a very big chance of entering the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships. Roughly circle the lineup of the men's team, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long can play a role in double insurance, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin are the training objects in Paris, the last place in the team competition, Liu Guoliang is for the veteran Xu Xin, or to a young player, which is not easy to say.
Based on the above analysis, I personally am Liu Shiwen in the women's team, and there is no possibility of entering the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, and Xu Xin may still have a glimmer of hope.
