National table tennis is coming! The first Grand Slam tournament of the ITTF WTT will be held on the 11th, which is the first Grand Slam tournament held since Liu Guoliang became the chairman of WTT, with a total prize money of up to 2 million US dollars and the champion can earn 2000 points. The national table tennis attaches great importance to sending a luxurious lineup, the world's first brother Fan Zhendong, a sister Sun Yingsha led the battle, at the same time, 8 team members will strive to fight for 2 direct places in the 2022 Asian Games.
The players who won the 2022 WTT Singapore Men's and Women's Singles Championships can get a direct quota for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, who wouldn't want to qualify for the sports boom held at the "doorstep" and even win the championship in the end? Overall, the situation faced by the national table tennis men's team and the women's team is different!
National table tennis men's team: Fan Zhendong has obvious advantages in the world ranking, even if he can't win the championship of WTT Singapore, he can also enter the big list of the 2022 Asian Games with the identity of "world brother", but it is very cruel for Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin and Lin Gaoyuan who are capable of "Bo Zhong"!
Wang Chuqin won the 2022 Macau championship, Liang Jingkun won the 2022 Oman championship, Lin Gaoyuan won 2 runners-up, Ma Long's "sword is not old", And Xu Xin, who is slightly inferior in singles strength, will not give up easily, for these 5 male singles players, in addition to the prize money of 100,000 US dollars, and 2000 points, with the temptation is to directly win the 2022 Asian Games quota, after all, there are not many opportunities to participate as a "host"!
National table tennis women's team: "one sister" Sun Yingsha is far less relaxed than "one brother" Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha's advantage is not too obvious, Chen Meng's world ranking is close behind, 2 people are almost the same, to put it bluntly: who won the women's singles championship, the Asian Games direct participation quota is who. Although Wang Manyu ranks relatively low, her advantages are also very obvious. Wang Manyu has won the Women's Singles Championships at the World Championships in Houston and the Women's Singles Championships in Macau in 2022, although she is unlikely to qualify for the 2022 Asian Games as the "World Sister", Wang Manyu can compete for the women's singles championship at the WTT Grand Slam to qualify for the Asian Games!
Overall, Fan Zhendong is worry-free, the men's team: Ma Long, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, the women's team: Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, this team member will strive to fight for 2 direct places at the 2022 Asian Games, and finally: who will die? We'll see.
