In the Grand Slam tournament that ended last week, the national table tennis company won 5 crowns, and monopolized the top 4 in the women's singles project, and occupied 3 seats in the men's singles top 4, very well completed the task of grabbing points and examining the double task, Chen Meng returned to the world women's singles No. 1, Wang Manyu ranked in the top three, the Chinese women's team 3 main force continued to play strongly, and the men's team Fan Zhendong and Ma Long also had obvious advantages. The national table tennis originally planned to fly to Doha, Qatar, to participate in the WTT Star Challenge that began this weekend, considering the continuous combat and the hardships of boat and car labor, coupled with the great impact of the epidemic, in order to control the injury of the main players, 17 people withdrew from the Star Challenge.
The national table tennis retirement list is as follows: Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Xu Xin, Wang Chuqin, Xiang Peng, Lin Shidong, Xu Haidong; Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Liu Shiwen, He Zhuojia, Wang Yidi, Ku Man.
WTT Doha Star Challenge Champion points is 600 points, runners-up also have 420 points, although the points are lower than the Grand Slam, but higher than the general challenge and side events, perhaps the main layer of national table tennis attaches more importance to the World Cup, the World Championships, the Olympic Games and the Grand Slam, after all, the competition has high points and not cheap prize money, low-level events or leave the young non-main lineup to exercise, feel the gap with the world's fierce opponents, and return home to strengthen targeted training.
The most considered national table tennis retirement is the ability of the players to bear, the main players are mostly veterans, in the Singapore Grand Slam arena has been fighting for two weeks, continuous combat will increase the expansion of injuries, return to china to adjust training is also a way to control injuries. However, the temporary final retirement, for the national table tennis players can be described as some people are happy and worried, for Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, firmly occupy the main position, do not participate in the short period of time will not shake the leading position, but for the players who are relatively low in the points, it is equivalent to losing a good opportunity to catch up, the current men's team in the world ranked 8th Lin Gaoyuan, 10th Xu Xin, 13th Wang Chuqin and two young players Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong, Liu Shiwen, who is ranked 17th in the world in the women's team, and the young Qian Tianyi, Kuo Man and other players, want to participate in the competition and avoid meeting their teammates too early, and they urgently need to solve the situation of low points ranking.
With the withdrawal of the main lineup, the young team of the national table tennis team currently competing in the Challenge in Doha is expected to compete in 3 consecutive stops, from the side matches, the challenge matches to the star challenges, which is expected to gain a lot of points and experience. However, the main players of the competition, Qian Tianyi and Xu Haidong, after participating in the regional competition and winning the championship, participated in the challenge with an injury, and in order to avoid aggravation of the injury, they had no choice but to withdraw from the first round of the singles matchup.
