On March 9, 2022, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation officially announced the results of the three doubles lists and draws for the WTT Grand Slam Tournament, of which Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and other mixed doubles combinations all started directly from the round of 16, while the men's doubles and women's doubles had to play one more round, but the national table tennis combination Fan Zhendong/ Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu had a first-round bye and played directly from the second round.
At present, the only matchup that can be determined by the national table tennis combination is Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha against the Egyptian combination of Omar / Mesherve, which is not difficult to play normally, and looks forward to the success of the Chinese team. Zhang Benzhi and /Hina Hayata drew the next draw, squeezing into a 1/4 zone with the ace combinations of Hong Kong, Germany and South Korea, with bad luck, and every game could be a vicious battle.
There are 3 pairs of national table tennis in this Grand Slam tournament, and these 3 pairs of athletes are the main players of the world championships: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, considering that the Olympic Games have 1 mixed doubles gold medal, and the first game of the team competition is the men's and women's doubles, so it is generally believed that these 4 reused doubles players will be important candidates for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
According to the signing, the mixed doubles top 4 seeds Lin Yunru /Zheng Yijing, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Lebison/Yuan Jianan, Zhang Benzhi and/Hayata Xina were separated into different 1/4 zones, so they would not meet before the semi-finals. But as mentioned before, Zhang Benzhihe/ Hayata Xina and Zhang Yuzhen/ Tian Zhixi, Huang Zhenting/ Du Kaixuan, Francesca / Solcja were divided together, and it was really a signing!
In women's doubles, the biggest opponent of the national table tennis combination Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu is naturally Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina, and they are also the champions and runners-up of the 2019 and 2021 World Table Tennis Championships, and the competition is naturally very fierce. As for the other association combinations, they lack strong strength, and it is difficult to challenge the above 2 pairs.
Men's doubles is currently the most stressful project of national table tennis, although Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have won the World Table Tennis Championships in this project, but they are cooperating with other teammates, and they have suffered a fiasco in the World Table Tennis Championships last year, and even the semi-finals have not been scored, and this time the two have also combined with the world champions, last year's elimination of their Falk/Carlsson in a half-zone, it is difficult to qualify!
In general, the national table tennis women's doubles in this Grand Slam is relatively the least difficult to win (Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu has won 2 world championships), mixed doubles (because it is an Olympic project, the team attaches more importance to it), and the men's doubles is facing a severe test. Finally, I look forward to the Chinese team to achieve good results and strive to win the championship of these 3 events: come on, everyone!
