On the evening of March 20, Beijing time, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam men's singles final ended, and the world's number one Fan Zhendong defeated the world's second place Ma Long 4-3. From 2-0 to 2-3, and then to 4-3, Fan Zhendong's peak showdown with Ma Long finally won the championship with the younger Xiao Fat, of course, Ma Long's performance is also close to perfect, after all, there is a person who has to accept the result of the defeat, this person is Ma Long, who has been interviewed in English in the semi-finals.
Looking back at the performance of the national table tennis in recent stages, the pattern of the men's team has been quietly changing, and Fan Zhendong, who is at its peak, has recently increased the proportion of winning against Ma Long, saying that Fan Zhendong is the first person may not be accurate enough, but according to the current situation, Fan Zhendong already has the strength to serve as the first main force of national table tennis.
The 34-year-old "Anshan Malt" Ma Long still maintains a very good performance, from experience to hard power, Ma Long is always the most trustworthy person in big competitions.
In the past few years, Ma Long, Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong have been called "Dragon Python Fat", but with the increase of age and the problem of technical characteristics, Xu Xin has gradually withdrawn from the ranks of the three main forces, although he is still training and playing in the national team, but Xu Xin is now more enjoying his inner love.
Fan Zhendong and Ma Long are the double insurance of national table tennis. So who will be the third main force of national table tennis? At present, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, and Lin Gaoyuan are relatively close candidates.
In terms of personal singles results, Liang Jingkun is the better of these 3 people, and Liang Jingkun also has a good doubles strength, and Liang Jingkun has a slight advantage in the competition for the third main force.
But Wang Chuqin also has his advantages, one is younger, followed by Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha's mixed doubles pairing is currently the number one mixed doubles combination of national table tennis, from the perspective of Olympic selection, Wang Chuqin is a very chance person.
Lin Gaoyuan has no advantage over Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin, the singles ability is slightly worse, and the stability is insufficient, there is no mixed doubles bonus, and it is very difficult to become the third main force of the men's team.
