Beijing time on March 16, WTT Singapore Grand Slam fierce battle, in the mixed doubles semifinals staged a wonderful showdown, the new combination of national table tennis partner Fan Zhendong Wang Manyu and Japanese table tennis Zhang Benzhi and Hina Hayata strong dialogue, originally everyone thought that this was a close match, but did not expect that in the end it formed a one-sided situation, the national table tennis combination lost 0-3 to the combination of Japanese table tennis, so in the mixed doubles final of this Grand Slam competition, the national table tennis Shatou combination will compete with the Japanese table tennis combination for the final championship.
In fact, Fan Zhendong as the men's singles world number one, Wang Manyu as the women's singles world champion Olympic champion, the combination of the two is also very competitive, this combination is also an ace combination created by the Paris Olympic cycle, but why did it fail miserably in this mixed doubles semifinal? If it is understandable that the pair was eventually defeated 2-3, but the 0-3 defeat looks a bit one-sided, this should not be the real strength of our national table tennis pair, for this match, Yan An, who served as a commentator, also made comments and analyzed the reasons for the loss.
First of all, Yan An believes that in the internal selection tournament before this Grand Slam tournament, Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu began to try to match the match, and the run-in and tacit understanding between the two people is definitely not as mature as the combination of Japanese ping, so Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu are still in the run-in and have not reached the most ideal state, and after the two establish tacit understanding in the later stage, coupled with the support of their super technical ability, they can definitely become a world-class mixed doubles combination.
Secondly, Yan An analyzed the second reason is injury, Fan Zhendong has some fatigue before the Grand Slam, not to mention how big the injury is, at least the fatigue of the muscles makes Fan Zhendong feel uncomfortable, so it will affect the performance of the competition in this station, the health of athletes is the most important, after all, the next Durban World Table Tennis Championships is more important, this time the Grand Slam is only a big training for the World Table Tennis Championships, so it is more critical to protect the health of the players.
Through these two reasons analyzed by Yan An, it is not difficult to find that the loss of our new pair of national table tennis is indeed excusable, after all, the combination of Zhang Benzhi and Hina Hayata is indeed the world's top mixed doubles combination, and has been challenging the Shatou combination before, so the tacit understanding and ability of this pair is beyond doubt, and our Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu are still running-in, and there is no real combat effectiveness, and Hina Hayata and Zhang Benzhihe, although they are very excited to celebrate after winning, but in fact they are also empty joy, After all, they defeated an immature combination that had just formed a team, and Nippon was a bit invincible.
