Singapore Grand Slam is in full swing, the national table tennis and WTT idea is the same, is to hope that this Grand Slam event, in the case of winning the opening, into an important commercial event, it can be seen that the masters gathered, whether it is the national table tennis pouring out all the main force, or the special attention of foreign associations, all reflect the importance of grand slam events. In addition, while the national table tennis grand slam qualification tournament was carried out, it also gave the participation criteria of the team lineup of the Hangzhou Asian Games. It is directly related to the Grand Slam.
As we all know, every major event, the national table tennis will hold a direct match, which can allow some players who have no experience in the big tournament but have excellent strength to stand out, and this grand slam and the straight through tournament are not much different, because the winner of the grand slam will go straight to the Hangzhou Asian Games, in other words, can get a singles qualification.
In addition, the national table tennis also gave the specific Hangzhou Asian Games table tennis participation standards, and there are already four seats that can be determined. Let's analyze it in detail.
Boy Band: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin
The men's team and the women's singles have five seats, through the Grand Slam and world rankings and age restrictions, the national table tennis has given three seats, the other two seats, will be based on comprehensive consideration, by the national table tennis coaching staff, which means that the remaining two seats, will be designated players to participate.
According to the rules of national table tennis, the winner of the Singapore Grand Slam will be qualified for the Asian Games, and Fan Zhendong, as the number one seed in this tournament, has a great possibility of winning the championship, in addition, even if he cannot win the championship, Fan Zhendong will also obtain the singles qualification as the world number one according to the world ranking on April 4, after all, with Fan Zhendong's current point ranking, it is impossible to surpass Fan Zhendong.
Another singles qualification still needs to wait for the final result of the match and the world ranking, but another team qualification has already appeared, that is, Wang Chuqin, because of the age limit and the relationship between the world ranking, Wang Chuqin will get a team qualification. After all, the current replacement is a big trend, young players have mastered new technologies and tough strength, coupled with physical requirements, so it is also an opportunity for young players.
Women's group: Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu
And the men's singles is the same, women's singles, the current women's table tennis world ranking is the first is Sun Yingsha, the second ranked Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's points have a small gap, if this Grand Slam, Chen Meng won the championship, then the point ranking will surpass Sun Yingsha to continue to reach the top of the world first, Chen Meng will get the straight qualification, and Sun Yingsha is in order to obtain the second women's single qualification.
However, Sun Yingsha's strong play, in this Grand Slam, is also a popular contender for the championship, if Sun Yingsha wins the women's singles championship, she will also get the direct qualification, so regardless of whether Sun Yingsha can win the championship as desired, the women's singles qualification of the Hangzhou Asian Games must have a seat for Sun Yingsha.
And the team qualification of the candidate has also appeared, that is, Wang Manyu, Wang Manyu state bursting, and then there is the Hangzhou Asian Games direct qualification, Wang Manyu will definitely work hard to win the Asian Games championship, so the winner of the Grand Slam, there are still more possibilities. However, Wang Manyu was born in 1999, so Wang Manyu has confirmed that he has obtained a group qualification. However, she will still compete for women's singles qualification.
summary
The Asian Games competition, for table tennis, has always been an opportunity for young players to exercise, so if Fan Zhendong wins the championship, then in terms of men's table tennis, Ma Long will qualify for the second men's singles, but whether Ma Long will retire is a problem. We certainly want Malone to be in every game, but the process of renewal requires more young players to stand out. The qualifications that have been determined so far are Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and the remaining qualifications may be generated from the young generals.
