The players who had planned to participate in the Doha Star Challenge chose to give up after a long schedule of Singapore Grand Slams, and the national table tennis coaching staff also agreed to the proposal and chose to return home early. Such a choice also objectively contributed to the players who originally participated in the two regular challenge matches in Doha, and they will not choose to return to China for the time being, and they will continue to participate in the next star challenge in Doha. In the eyes of many fans, the national table tennis is equivalent to giving the main squad an early holiday, but it has increased the opportunities for the players of the second squad to participate in the competition, and has also brought new opportunities and challenges. More fans put forward a conclusion, believing that this is the relationship between the national table tennis in balancing all aspects, and sending championships to the masters of foreign associations, in other words, sending warmth. This allows them to also increase their points, improve their rankings, and get more bonuses. After all, the main players of national table tennis have gained a lot from points to prize money in the Singapore Grand Slam.
However, I do not agree with the proposal of this part of the fans to send the championship and send a warm voice. For example, in the just-concluded second regular season challenge in Doha, Lin Yunru also lost 1-3 when facing Yuan Licen, who was advancing with a fierce attack. This includes both the reasons why Lin Yunru does not know Yuan Licen's playing style very well and has insufficient difficulties, but also the reasons why his physical and competitive state are not the best from Singapore to Doha. On the other hand, it also shows that players who seem to be the main force or non-main force on the edge of national table tennis, when the national table tennis dares to give them more opportunities to participate, in fact, everyone will also adapt to the world arena and improve their combat ability in the world competition little by little. After all, Yuan Licen is also a young player with impact and certain hard strength who has defeated Ma Long and Liang Jingkun in the domestic competition, once more opportunities to participate in the competition are given to them, it is possible to help them achieve the accumulation from quantitative change to qualitative change, further promote the improvement of competition ability and competition temperament, even in front of the world-renowned masters, as well as the first-class players of the foreign association, they can still play a different state, prove their own value, and are expected to join the ranks of world-class masters in this way.
We can look at it, although Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Xu Xin, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong and Xiang Peng and other male table tennis players, as well as Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, He Zhuojia, Ku Man, Liu Shiwen and other female table tennis players are absent from the Doha Star Challenge that will start soon, but there are still Qian Tianyi, Liu Weishan, Zhang Rui, Fan Siqi, Yang Huijing, Chen Yi, Shi Xunyao, Qi Fei, Zhu Sibing, Qin Yuxuan, Zhong Geman and other female players to participate in the competition, Zhao Zihao, Zhou Qihao, Sun Wen, Yuan Licen, Yu Ziyang and Xue Fei will also participate in the men's singles competition again. Even if the players in the main layer of the national table tennis are not there, when the opportunity to participate in the competition is given to the players of this national table tennis squad again and again, in fact, they are not willing to send warmth to the opponents.
Of course, it must be admitted that after the collective absence of the players at the main level of national table tennis, this Doha Star Challenge will definitely show the following characteristics: First, what kind of cold door may occur, because these players in the national table tennis themselves are in a state of immature playing style, but they have a strong competitiveness, and there may be a situation where any master can win, and what level of player can lose. Second, the masters of the foreign association also got a rare opportunity to show their style after the second-line players of the national table tennis faction, it was easier to play self-confidence and domineering, as well as their own competitiveness, and they had excellent performance in the competition, and strived to get high bonuses and high points. Third, after the overall strength of players from various countries is closer, although the viewing of the game may decline compared to the Singapore Grand Slam, the intensity may increase. For example, in the second leg of the regular season, the women's singles final of Fan Siqi and Zhang Rui was won and lost after playing seven rounds. The semi-finals of Yuan Licen and Ah Changta also played seven sets, and the final with Qiu Dang also played six sets, and it was first lost and then won, completing the reversal.
In short, since the national table tennis coaching staff and the main players have made the decision not to participate in the Doha Star Challenge, we must support their decision and choice. And I look forward to the fringe main force of national table tennis and the second-tier team and many masters of foreign associations to contribute to us a wonderful game together, and I hope that everyone will keep an eye on it.
