After the Spring Festival, WTT has intensive competitions waiting for the national table tennis players. The WTT Oman Challenge, the Singapore Grand Slam, the Qatar Doha Normal, the Star Challenge, etc., are all held in a month's time. The national table tennis players are divided into two ways and play in different levels of WTT competitions. To say that the main battlefield, of course, is the main team members out of the Grand Slam, star challenge. Although the world ranking points of ordinary challenges such as Oman are low, it is also the only way for non-main players of national table tennis to improve their world rankings and advance to the main level of national table tennis and high-level international competitions. This kind of low-level international competition must also be highly valued for non-main players, because this is a big test for them.

(The author of this article Kung Fu and Ping Pong Copyright Statement)
Most of the core main players of the national table tennis do not participate, and the top first-class players of the foreign association do not participate, so the participating national table tennis players have a good time to win the championship and get the points bonus. At the same time, it is also a test to see who can pick up the beam in such a competition environment, who will add weight to the core main layer and get more international competition opportunities.
For example: Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Wang Chuqin, Chen Xingtong, are all popular people with the strength to win the championship. They deserve to win the championship, and if they can't win the championship, they will lose points at the top of the Table Tennis Association and the coaching staff. For the four of them, I will not discuss too many folds here.
In this article, I would like to mainly discuss and analyze, Zhou Qihao, Lin Shidong, Liu Dingshuo, Qian Tianyi, He Zhuojia, Ku Man and others. Their performance will be related to their future development direction.
First of all, let's talk about He Zhuojia: Xiao He was a model of itachi Ito's earlier technical play. Xiao He has the tenacity to play, and no one can easily beat her. Xiao He is also the earliest debut of this group of female team members, in the 2018 ITTF year-end finals, she will pass all the way to the women's singles final, and finally lost to Chen Meng and won the runner-up. The year-end finals are high-level international competitions, and only those ranked in the top 16 are eligible to be invited. In the 2018 year-end finals, the national table tennis invited to participate in the competition: Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuling, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong, Wang Manyu. He Zhuojia's runner-up result is quite excellent. Xiao He should have been able to promote the main force after Chen Meng, but was later overtaken by Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Chen Xingtong, and Wang Yidi, and hovered at the gate of the main force. He Zhuojia has a good technical foundation and good psychological quality, only two or three competition-level champions like the Oman Challenge, and he has been promoted to the main layer for himself. Therefore, in this race, He Zhuojia must go all out to compete for the championship. Otherwise, you have to walk around the main gate.
The second is to say Zhou Qihao: This famous civil war king has super technical strength and can defeat the core main forces of national table tennis such as Ma Long, Xu Xin, fan Zhendong, etc., but as soon as the foreign war comes, the power is cut off, and it is not long-faced. At the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Liu Guoliang gave him a singles opportunity, but he just couldn't catch a two-wheel trip. If he succeeds in defending the lower half, then he will be properly promoted to the main force. For qi hao "king", he also can't afford to lose in this Oman race, he must strive to reach the final, and then get a first or second round of travel, and enter the main layer is really no play, then he has been sparring.
The third talk about Qian Tianyi: This beautiful team member has quite good technical strength. At the 2018 World Youth Championships, she won the women's singles and mixed doubles titles, and the World Youth Championship singles champion was the first step to advance to the main stage. Beauty Qian Tianyi's foreign war record is also very impressive, defeating Hayata Hina, sweeping Hirano Miyu and Du Kaixuan, only the key has not yet defeated Ito Mimako. Qian Tianyi should have the basics, only missing the champion of the open and challenge singles, and then added a second stage to the main layer. Qian Tianyi also has an advantage, that is, she is the lack of left-handed players in national table tennis, and if she rushes out of the Oman Challenge to win the championship, her feet will step on the threshold of the main layer. Therefore, this battle money Tianyi can not lose.
The fourth put Liu Dingshuo, Xiang Peng, Lin Shidong, and Ku Man together. Liu Dingshuo is very strong, winning the World Youth Championship singles championship, once defeating Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong. Xiang Peng and Ku Man are both young players of the strong faction, and they are both singles champions at the World Youth Championships. Little Fat Lin Shidong, is another type of potential small player, his biggest highlight is 3-2 to beat the famous Xu Xin. These young generals are the key training objects of the national table tennis echelon construction. Participating in the Oman Challenge this time is not only an opportunity for them to increase their experience in international competitions, but also a test for them. Personally, I think their goal is to reach the final four, and even if the task is completed, if they win the championship, it will be a harbinger of a soaring skyrocket.
In summary: the WTT Oman Challenge is the second battlefield of national table tennis, and it is a big examination ground for grabbing international ranking points and testing the main force on the edge. The national table tennis players have both main and non-main players, and the goal of the team members is to impact the championship, but the first task is to reach the final four. A few main players, not to win the championship and runners-up is a failure; if a few non-main players can win the championship in one fell swoop, congratulations you are not far from the main layer. Who can stand out? We'll see!
