In the early morning of May 6, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT American Fremont Tournament is about to officially kick off. The national table tennis in this competition all gave up participating, and Zhang Benzhihe, Ito Mimachi and other foreign association masters will not appear, of which Ito Mimachi originally signed up for the mixed doubles event, but later announced his retirement, so everyone did not have the opportunity to see her and Utada Yukiya cooperate on the debut.
However, according to the registration form, the two world champions will participate in the competition in the United States, one of which is Sweden's Fark, who won the men's singles runner-up of the World Table Tennis Championships as early as 2019, and in 2021, he won the men's doubles championship with his partner Carlsson, and "destroyed" the men's doubles team of the national table tennis (Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun / Lin Gaoyuan), which is undoubtedly a big hit to win the championship!
The second is Chinese Taipei veteran Zhuang Zhiyuan, who once played with Wang Hao and Porzi, who is 41 years old this year, won the men's doubles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships in 2013, and was also a winning national table tennis combination (Wang Liqin/Zhou Yu, Ma Lin/Hao Shuai), somewhat similar to Fark, and now has no intention of retiring, and has become the top seed in the men's singles competition.
In addition to Zhuang Zhiyuan, another Chinese Taipei star is also worth paying attention to, that is, the World Cup singles runner-up, olympic mixed doubles runner-up Zheng Yijing, and her teammate Chen Siyu is the women's singles No. 2 seed of this competition, both of them have the strength to win the championship, but they have to face the siege of two strong opponents, that is, 17-year-old South Korean rising star Shin Yubin, and the American star Zhang An.
Shin Yubin is the main Olympic athlete of the South Korean team, who once hit Ito Mimako 11-0, and his strength is not bad, but at the end of last year, he has been recuperating because of injuries, so his competitive status has definitely declined - under normal circumstances, she is certainly not afraid of Zheng Yijing and Chen Siyu, but now she can only take one step to see one step.
Zhang An's words have beaten the world champion Hirano Miyu and reached the semi-finals of the World Cup, but due to the training level of the American table tennis team, her overall technical level is average, and recently it has been a series of fiascos, and it is somewhat difficult to impact the women's singles champion this time.
Back to the men's singles, we can also see the figure of Japan's famous Yukiya Utada and Hayabusa Tokami this time, both of whom are Japan's national championship men's singles champions, who have beaten Zhang Benzhihe to the top, and the current men's doubles is ranked first in the world. In March this year, Yukiya Utada violently attacked Fan Zhendong, and has now become a big threat, worthy of national table tennis research.
As for the American young player Canek and the German player Duda, they also have the strength to rush to the top, but in general, everyone is still more optimistic about Falke and others. According to the regulations, the champion of this competition can get 150 points, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing, so let's see who can laugh to the end!
