In the WTT Singapore Grand Slam men's singles semifinals, Ma Long swept his successor Liang Jingkun 4-0 to successfully meet Fan Zhendong in the final. Such a result is actually still expected by everyone, as long as you maintain good health, it is difficult for anyone to defeat Ma Long, even Fan Zhendong, who is now in peak condition, and the Dragon Team is at most five or five. However, Ma Long is still very low-key and humble, and after entering the final, he put smoke bombs on Fan Zhendong. Malone said it was difficult for him to win the championship and was ready to lose, and he didn't know if the Dragons really thought so or were modest enough to say so.
Although Ma Long is 34 years old, he is still a top master in the world table tennis world and can still complete the defense of the Olympic games. In this Grand Slam competition, Malone returned to the international arena again after the Olympic Games, although half a year has passed, but Malone still seems to be the same Malone, and the years have not left too many obvious traces on him. Previously, facing Wang Chuqin, who was in a fiery state, Ma Long once faced the edge of being eliminated, but in the end he won 2 consecutive sets to reverse the promotion. And then facing another young player, Lin Yunru, Ma Long also fought hard to advance.
This time facing the national table tennis expert Liang Jingkun, Ma Long completely controlled the situation throughout the game. Although Liang Jingkun ranked fifth in the world and also won the third place in the men's singles of the World Table Tennis Championships, in front of Ma Long, there was still not much to do, and he lost 0-4. Ma Long defeated Wang Chuqin, Lin Yunru, Liang Jingkun and other junior players in this Grand Slam, once again proving that he is still a sword. Many fans have sighed that how long Ma Long can still play, from now on, Ma Long can continue to play. The Dragons have said they want to play another Olympics, and it's not impossible.
After winning the championship, Malone was interviewed in English. The Dragons said that the manager of WTT had previously said that if Malone won the championship, then he would be interviewed in English. But Malone said the final with Fan Zhendong would be very intense, worried that he would not win the championship, so he was interviewed in English after the semi-final. It seems that the Dragons are ready to lose the final and have fulfilled their promise in English in advance. But fans familiar with the Dragons know that this may be Ma Long's usual practice, he just released smoke bombs, and in the current state of the Dragons, it is entirely possible to defeat Fan Zhendong.
Before playing against Wang Chuqin, Malone said that it was difficult to play now, and as a result, Malone won. Against Lin Yunru, Ma Long said that his opponent was already one of the strongest players in the world, and Ma Long won again. Malone is like this, keeping a low profile and being humble, always liking to praise his opponents. But the more this happens, the more careful the opponent becomes, because once on the field, Malone will show his ability. Fan Zhendong and Ma Long are the two most powerful male players in the world table tennis world today, and it is very normal for who wins and who loses between the two, and the key is who can have a better on-the-spot performance.
The men's singles final will be very exciting, and we don't know how many times we have seen the showdown between Ma Long and Fan Zhendong. But often on key occasions, it is Malone who laughs to the end, just like last year's Olympic men's singles final. Now that half a year has passed, can Fan Zhendong beat Malone in the final? Let's wait and see.
