According to the "Measures for the Qualification Selection of the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships of the Chinese Table Tennis Association" and the relevant provisions of the Competition Regulations of the International Table Tennis Federation in 2021, and taking into account the athletes' domestic and foreign competition results, external achievements, pressure resistance and part-time matching, the Chinese Table Tennis Association has determined the list of the World Table Tennis Championships as follows:
Men's Singles: Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhou Qihao.
Men's Doubles: Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan / Liang Jingkun.
Women's Singles: Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Wang Yidi.
Women's Doubles: Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu, Chen Meng / Qian Tianyi.
Mixed Doubles: Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha, Lin Gaoyuan / Wang Manyu.
The Men's Singles Selection List for the World Table Tennis Championships seems a bit unexpected at first glance, after all, double-lap Grand Slam winner Ma Long and Olympic champion Xu Xin were not selected, but the Table Tennis Super League Finals were reversed by a wave of 19-0, and Shandong Luneng player Wang Chuqin, who lost the championship 11-0 "shaved his head" in a single set, was selected. The other is Lin Gaoyuan, who has been in a state of flux from the National Games to the Table Tennis Super League, and most of the time it is relatively sluggish. Then there is Zhou Qihao, although the finals whether it is partnering with Zhou Yu in the men's doubles or playing in his own singles have a brilliant performance, but I have to say that the label of "nerve knife" is still attached to him. However, taking ten thousand steps back, the paper strength of national table tennis is there, there are Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun pressing the line, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Zhou Qihao through the competition to temper their mentality and improve their skills and tactics is still very necessary, after all, although table tennis is a dominant company, the strength of neighboring countries is not weak, and the World Table Tennis Championships is ultimately to serve the training of troops for the Paris Olympic Games. As for Ma Long and Xu Xin, I am afraid that taking care of the "old comrades" and letting the young people go through more experience is the reason for their absence.
The five-person list of women's singles is still in line with public expectations, and the strength is unmatched, and it is possible to cover gold, silver and copper. Women's doubles is a strong combination, relying on strength to speak. Mixed Doubles and Men's Doubles mainly consider that the left hand will match more suitable for doubles!
There are still 30 days to go before the World Table Tennis Championships, and the current national table tennis team is divided into two roads, one is closed in Wenzhou for training, and the other is such as Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan and Zhou Qihao preparing for the WTT event. At the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, Li Xiaoxia became the fourth Grand Slam winner after Deng Yaping, Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, and now that she is playing at the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships again, Chen Meng is expected to become the fifth Grand Slam winner of the national table tennis women's team!
