On March 29, Beijing time, the International Table Tennis Federation updated the men's singles world ranking for the 13th week, of which Ma Long, the captain of the national table tennis team, still ranked second, second only to the little fat Fan Zhendong. For today's Malone, the world ranking is not the most important, after all, the Dragons have completed a double grand slam, sitting on the throne of the first person in the history of national table tennis, in the remaining peak of his career, Malone mainly enjoys the game.
Recently, Ma Long, who just finished the WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament, chose to go on vacation, take a boat to relax at sea, and record some beautiful photos and take videos by the way. In the personal video released by Ma Long himself, it can be seen that Ma Long is white to glow, reflecting Ma Long's appearance, and the dragon team's appearance is still very capable.
Under the recording of the entire overseas play video, Ma Long is still very relaxed, posing with his back against the blue sky and the sea is very handsome, not losing the male model, wearing sunglasses is a big guy's appearance, very imposing. At the same time, Ma Long still maintains a gentle personality embodiment, was asked by the photographer whether he is seasick, smiled and replied "not halo yet" It can be seen that the dragon team is in a good mood to go to sea this time to shoot and play, very relaxed, very comfortable.
As a veteran of national table tennis, Ma Long has been in a relaxed state for a long time since the Tokyo Olympic Games, and even gave up the men's singles registration for the National Games, and then the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup final, Ma Long chose not to participate, giving himself a relaxing holiday.
It was only in 2022 that Ma Long officially made a comeback, successively playing in the Macau Championship and the Singapore Grand Slam, but despite a long absence from the international arena, Ma Long still won the men's singles runner-up of the Singapore Grand Slam, and his performance was very strong, and even once led Fan Zhendong in the final, but it was finally reversed.
It can be seen that today's dragon team still has the strength to win the world championship, but as a veteran over 30 years old, Ma Long is also gradually letting go of the position of the first men's singles in overseas table tennis, with the continuous growth of xiao fat Fan Zhendong, the banner of the national table tennis men's singles can be supported, the dragon team naturally can choose to slowly fade out of the field, only choose the game they want to play, and stand on the last shift.
At present, Zhang Jike, who is in the same batch as Ma Long and completed the Grand Slam earlier, has bid farewell to the arena for 3 years, entered the "retirement mode" early, recorded live broadcasts on variety shows, and fulfilled his commercial value very well. In the future, I believe that once Malone chooses to leave the arena, relying on his own super popularity, I believe that the Dragons can also reasonably cash in their own commercial value, handsome appearance and gentle personality are very likable, with a high degree of attention. Of course, once the Dragons choose to retire, I believe that many fans will not give up, this is a generation of legends of national table tennis, which means that an era will officially end!
