The main lineup of national table tennis in the Paris Olympic cycle will not change too much, compared to the Tokyo Olympic cycle, the main layer is only the female team captain, Grand Slam winner Ding Ning retired, veteran Ma Long, Xu Xin, Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng all with action and determination to express their position, will impact the tickets of the Paris Olympic Games. Judging from the last 3 doha matches, the young non-main lineup of national table tennis has not yet been able to stabilize the overall situation, Ku man, Qian Tianyi and other people are not strong enough to fight continuously and can continue to play stably, and the men's team's Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong are currently even European third-rate players such as Gross can not play, it is difficult to carry the banner of the Paris Olympic Games.
The Olympic battle of the national table tennis men's team actually unfolded between 6 people, namely Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Xu Xin, and Lin Gaoyuan. Fan Zhendong in the past 1 year to win the Tokyo Olympic Games runner-up, the National Games and the World Championships, the World Cup finals and grand slam champions, is the most eye-catching star in the men's singles field, Grand Slam winner Ma Long also did not show weakness, Tokyo Olympic Games became the first defending men's singles champion in history, the just concluded Grand Slam Marlon still reached the final and lost Fan Zhendong, the world's second-ranked player once again competed in the Paris Olympic Games has won at the starting line.
Relative to the strength of the two main players Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, the world's No. 4 Liang Jingkun has a gap with it, but the performance is also stable, at least in the foreign war results are justified, his advantage lies in the singles ranking, after the World Championships, Grand Slams and other competitions, the world ranking is expected to come to the 3rd, the Paris Olympic Games 3rd battle Liang Jingkun's biggest contender will be Wang Chuqin, although the world ranked 13th, but he is a left-handed player, and Fan Zhendong with the men's doubles world ranking No. 2, just won the Grand Slam championship, She is also ranked No. 2 in the world in mixed doubles and is also a double champion at the World Championships and Grand Slams. Liang Jingkun wants to play in the Paris Olympics as the 3rd person, unless the doubles partner Lin Gaoyuan has a surprising rebound and outstanding results, squeezing out one of Ma Long or Fan Zhendong, and also has outstanding results in the mixed doubles, but now Liang Jingkun almost does not participate in the mixed doubles competition, there is no fixed partner, which has lagged behind Wang Chuqin. Veteran Xu Xin's recent singles performance is not good, to know that the Olympic qualification is mainly based on singles results, and then look at doubles, he is currently at most the 5th main force.
Women's team Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu have the strongest comprehensive strength, there is no suspense in the Paris Olympic Games, Sun Yingsha not only has a solid position in the women's team, but also may become a booster for the male team candidates, her mixed doubles combination with Wang Chuqin If she can win the championship in the 2022 Asian Games, the 2023 World Table Tennis Championships and other major competitions, it also increases the probability of Wang Chuqin participating in the Paris Olympic Games.
