Perhaps some fans have also found that those retired Grand Slam predecessors of national table tennis seem to have a favorable preference for Sun Yingsha. In the training after the end of the 2020 World Cup, retired Grand Slam player Wang Nan personally accompanied Sun Yingsha, and I believe that many fans are still deeply impressed. Fans are also very curious why Wang Nan is looking for Sun Yingsha alone to train?
Because there is not only one main player in national table tennis, like Chen Meng, the world's number one player, Wang Nan did not train with it, which surprised many fans. Perhaps this is related to the style of play of Sister Shi, the defensive counterattack type of Play of Sister Shi is the traditional way of playing of national table tennis, and Wang Nan often plays with Zhang Yining and is most familiar with this style of play.
Zhang Yining is also that kind of defensive counterattack type of play, and the descendants of Shi Jie, Ding Ning, and Zhu Yuling are all inheriting Zhang Yining's style of play. Only Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha are another stove, these two players and Zhang Yining play differently, they pay more attention to the attack of the first three boards, showing the characteristics of the new era of play after 00.
In particular, Zhang Yining pays more attention to Sun Yingsha's playing style, not only in the election of the singles competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, but more importantly, Zhang Yining believes that Sun Yingsha's playing style is indeed different, completely in accordance with his own rhythm, not to be given rhythm by opponents, which is an important reason for Zhang Yining to become a fan of Sun Yingsha.
Including the women's singles final between Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu at last year's World Table Tennis Championships, Zhang Yining also commented. In Zhang Yining's view, Sun Yingsha did not create enough oppression for her opponents, and did not blindly praise Sun Yingsha, but pointed out the problem to the point. It should be said that Zhang Yining still has a true disposition, dares to tell the truth at key moments, and is unwilling to say something against his heart.
And Grand Slam senior Deng Yaping also often commented on Sun Yingsha's performance, especially in the women's singles semifinals of last year's Olympic Games, the match between Sun Yingsha and Ito Mimachi, as a senior, Deng Yaping praised Sun Yingsha for playing very smart. In particular, Sun Yingsha's serve limited Ito Mimachi, which made Deng Yaping feel very surprised.
Deng Yaping also praised Sun Yingsha as a very talented player, she believes that not every player has characteristics in serving, which really needs the support of talent. Compared with Chen Meng, Liu Shiwen, the main players, Deng Yaping's most concerned in the past two years should still be Sun Yingsha's competition, and the most evaluated is also Sun Yingsha.
Why do senior Grand Slam players love to evaluate Sun Yingsha? Maybe this is something that many fans can't think of. But one thing is certain, that is, although Sun Yingsha's strength has not been recognized by the vast majority of fans, she has won the support of these Grand Slam predecessors and directly participated in the singles competition of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Not long ago, when Li Xiaoxia was interviewed by video, the host asked Li Xiaoxia to evaluate the performance of Wang Manyu and Chen Meng in the women's singles final of the Grand Slam tournament. At that time, Li Xiaoxia very cleverly thought that she had not watched the seventh game of the decider, which was not good to evaluate. She just thinks that Chen Meng has matured after the Tokyo Olympics, and does not evaluate Chen Meng's advantages and disadvantages in technology.
Moreover, Li Xiaoxia also said that she was willing to give advice to young players such as Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, indicating that in Li Xiaoxia's mind, the positions of several main players are the same. Although fans feel that her relationship with Sister Shi is better, it is clear that Li Xiaoxia is a bowl of water. Chen Meng won the olympic women's singles championship, and Li Xiaoxia did not comment on it, which is the best example.
In fact, for Wang Nan, Li Xiaoxia and other Grand Slam predecessors, they do not deliberately comment on active players, mainly to avoid the existence of fans' controversy. Because in the eyes of these fans who don't know the ball, they only recognize who is the champion, and they don't care about the evaluation of these Grand Slam predecessors. Before the start of the Tokyo Olympic Games last year, Zhang Yining's evaluation of Sun Yingsha was very high, which attracted many fans to question.
In the eyes of these fans, Zhang Yining does not understand the ball at all, has been retired for so many years, and it is not suitable for evaluating active athletes for a long time. It can be said that the more fans who do not understand the ball, the more they can point out the country and stimulate the text. It is no wonder that table tennis now has a tendency to be circled, mainly because there are too many fans who do not understand the ball, and they are more self-righteous.
Fans who don't understand the ball have not wondered why these Grand Slam predecessors interacted more with Sun Yingsha. A lot of things are actually a comparison, and these Grand Slam seniors can't casually review a player for no reason. Sun Yingsha has received a lot of praise, which fully explains that Sun Yingsha's personal tactical playing style characteristics and the performance of the game have won recognition.
Not every player can easily comment on these Grand Slam seniors, because these retired Grand Slam seniors have their Grand Slam evaluation criteria. Some fans may remember that in the summer of 2020, Zhang Yining, Deng Yaping, Wang Nan and other Grand Slam predecessors gave advice to the national table tennis.
Zhang Yining mentioned that Ito's playing style was somewhat unreasonable, which gave a good inspiration to the national table tennis coaching team at that time. Later, judging from Sun Yingsha's performance in defeating Ito Mimachi in the Olympic Games, Sun Yingsha at that time also did not play cards according to the routine, but instead hit Ito Mimako by surprise. Now fans see that Ito's performance is sluggish, and they think that Ito is not vulnerable at all.
However, these fans did not think that it was once a lot of pressure brought by Ito Toyama to the national table tennis players, which cannot be erased in one sentence. Ito's change in the singles landscape of the Tokyo Olympics is a significant proof. I don't know what the majority of fans and friends think? Welcome to leave a message to discuss. Pay attention to the Erlang Shenkan ball, bring you the purest table tennis thinking.
