The WTT Junior Regular Season Challenge has been contested in the U17 women's singles competition, and Zhonggeman, who is known as Liu Shiwen's successor, has played well. She faced Japan's Miryo Taketake in the semi-finals, winning with a score of 3-0. After meeting his teammate Qin Yuxuan in the final, Zhonggeman scored a score of 11-2 in the first set, and finally defeated his teammates 3-1 to win the championship. Judging from Zhonggeman's playing style, there are many similarities with Liu Shiwen.
In order to accelerate the growth of young players, Liu Guoliang and the national table tennis coaching team have also increased the opportunities for these young players to participate in the competition, so that they can get further training through international competitions. After all, many teams are already relying on young people to play the world, and national table tennis must also pay attention to the cultivation of follow-up teams. In terms of the women's team, although we have outstanding players such as Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, we still have to pay attention to the selection of successors.
This WTT Havizov competition is an opportunity for young players in national table tennis, in the process of playing against the same age players of strong teams such as Japan, we can see our shortcomings, build on our strengths, and let young players grow in the competition. Our players have no problem in terms of strength, but often because of their lack of competition experience, they cannot play their true level in many key situations, which can only be better solved through actual combat.
In the U17 women's singles quarterfinals, Zumman beat Poland's Wilgos 3-1. In the semi-finals, Zhonggeman met the Japanese player Takekumei Miryo, and as a result, Zhonggeman did not give his opponent a chance at all, and swept 3 straight sets to win. The final between China's Zhonggeman and Qin Yuxuan, Zhonggeman scored 11-2 in the first set, and although he was subsequently equalized by his teammates, Zhonggeman won two consecutive sets to win the championship with an aggregate score of 3-1.
Zhonggeman's playing style makes many people think of Olympic champion Liu Shiwen, and her performance in this competition is also very good, really beautiful. In time, maybe Zhongge Man can really become the next Liu Shiwen. Of course, the road to growth is bound to be full of bumps, even Liu Shiwen, before winning the World Table Tennis Women's Singles Championship, has also experienced ten years of tempering. Zhonggeman should be fully prepared mentally, so that he can be indomitable in the face of difficulties.
Players such as Zhong Geman and Qin Yuxuan of the national table tennis women's team have seen more hope. Today's Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu may be the benchmarks in the efforts of Zhongge Man and Qin Yuxuan. The overall advantage of national table tennis lies in this, there are always young players with potential to emerge, come on!
