Qin Zhijian, secretary general of the national table tennis, announced that the absolute main force participating in the Singapore competition and the Olympic champion will return to China directly to rest. This means that fan zhendong, who has just won the WTT Singapore Grand Slam championship, and Chen Meng, the women's singles champion, have withdrawn from the WTT Doha Star Challenge that began on March 25. The incident happened suddenly, Liu Guoliang or based on 3 points of consideration!
One: Too tired!
Chen Meng is very tired, the women's singles semi-final 4-3 narrowly defeated Wang Yidi, the last minute of the final only 4-3 won Wang Manyu, fighting 7 rounds, especially the "national table tennis derby", it can be said that the "bureau" is shocking, let Chen Meng excited is: she once again returned to be the world's first, points surpassed Sun Yingsha.
Wang Manyu also fought, 4-3 victory over Sun Yingsha, before, in the National Games, in the World Table Tennis Championships has been difficult, in the WTT Singapore Grand Slam women's singles final 3-4 defeat to Chen Meng, it is also reasonable, no one can be a "constant general", especially in the "China Derby" matchup, in addition, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha swept Ito Mimako and Hayata Xina 3-0 to win the women's doubles championship.
Sun Yingsha is a pity, the women's singles semi-finals once again lost to Wang Manyu, but her partner Wang Chuqin, who is in three events, won the mixed doubles gold medal, and her partner Wang Manyu swept Ito Mimachi 3-0, and Hayata Xina won the women's doubles championship, unfortunately: Sun Yingsha's "world sister" honor was also lost!
Fan Zhendong won Ma Long from 2-0, to 2-3, and 4-3, which is really a thrilling to win; Ma Long is 33 years old, it is not easy to fight in the men's singles final; Wang Chuqin is in three events, winning the mixed doubles gold medal, the men's doubles gold medal, and also the last "bullet" on the body!
Two: Give young players more opportunities
If the main players of the national table tennis all participate, such as Qian Tianyi, Yuan Licen, Xu Haidong, Xu Yingbin, etc., the possibility of entering the final is too low, Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, etc. Do not participate in the case, the national table tennis young players can "pass the move" with the foreign association players Hugo, Feng Tianwei, Francesca and other "passing moves" is also a good thing!
Three: Maybe it's also a helpless choice
Fans jokingly called: the end of the WTT Grand Slam is: the national table tennis derby! The women's singles final four are: Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi; men's singles final four: Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Utada is a cold break into the top four, just like Zhang Benzhihe at that time, once the national table tennis began to focus on him, it is estimated that Utada will be difficult! Women's doubles, men's doubles, mixed doubles is due to the limit of the quota, if it is not the limit of the quota, it is estimated that the champion and runner-up will have to return to the country to take care of it!
The absolute main force of national table tennis + the Olympic champion does not participate, but also gives the players of the foreign association a dream of winning the championship!
