The Singapore Grand Slam is now over.
In the end, Fan Zhendong won the final men's singles championship, and Chen Meng defeated Wang Manyu 4:3 in the final to win the women's singles championship.
In the men's doubles, Fan Zhendong partnered Wang Chuqin to win the men's doubles championship.
The women's doubles title was won by Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, who swept the combination of Japan's Mimako Ito and Hina Hayata by a score of 3:0 in the final.
The mixed doubles combination of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin also won the final championship.
There is no doubt that the Chinese team has become the biggest winner of this Singapore Grand Slam Tournament.
Judging from the Singapore Grand Slam Tournament, Chinese women's table tennis has formed a new four main pattern, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, which are currently the top 4 treatment of Chinese women's table tennis.
Everyone knows that in some large team competitions, each association can have 5 athletes participating, and who can become the 5th person in addition to the existing four main players?
Judging from the current situation of Chinese women's table tennis, the main competitors for the 5th person are Liu Shiwen, Chen Xingtong and Ku Man.
So who of these three will be the ultimate 5th person?
This Time, the Singapore Grand Slam tournament was 0:3 in the match with Sun Yingsha, and she lost to Sun Yingsha and did not qualify for the next round.
And Liu Shiwen was also 0:3 in the match with Sun Yingsha, losing to Sun Yingsha.
Liu Shiwen, Chen Xingtong and Ku Man are the three players who have their own advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, let's look at Liu Shiwen, Liu Shiwen is 31 years old this year, has a very rich experience in the competition and very good results in the competition.
However, Liu Shiwen's shortcomings are that she is older and does not have an advantage in competition with young players, and Liu Shiwen is already 31 years old, and it is impossible to stick to the Paris Olympic Games in terms of age.
Chen Xingtong was born in 1997, and was once known as the Three Little Devils with Sun Yingsha Wang Manyu, but in the later competition, Chen Xingtong was gradually surpassed by Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and now he has gradually fallen behind.
Born in 2004, Ku Man is 4 years younger than Sun Yingsha, and won the women's singles and women's doubles titles in the recent Oman Challenge. It has a very strong strength.
And in terms of age composition, Kuman is only 18 years old this year.
Everyone knows that the biggest opponent of Chinese women's table tennis is the Japanese team, and the Japanese team has surpassed the Chinese team in the training of young athletes.
In the lineup of this year's Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, 4 of the 5 athletes sent by the Japanese team are post-00s players.
At present, only Sun Yingsha, a female soldier in China, is a post-00s player, and there is an urgent need to increase the training of young athletes.
Therefore, in terms of age composition, Ku man is more likely to become the fifth main force of Chinese women's table tennis.
Of course, the coaching staff will also have their own views on this.
Who can become the fifth main force of Chinese women's table tennis? Maybe we'll know when the asian games lineup is announced.
