Beijing time on March 17, WTT Singapore Grand Slam entered the final sprint championship stage, national table tennis after winning the mixed doubles championship, will also go all out to impact the remaining four individual champions, at present, these four individual champions also have a certain suspense, after all, in this Grand Slam field is unpopular, and even a few world champions Olympic champions have signed two rounds have been out, which also makes the current competition pattern in the world table tennis has been disrupted, and also allows us to see the birth of a lot of dark horses, Accelerated the development of table tennis.
In fact, in this tournament everyone is most worried about the men's singles championship, after all, in the new cycle everyone is talking about the talent gap of the national table tennis men's team, if this problem has been severe, this is very unfavorable, and even will affect the national table tennis in the Paris Olympics championship prospects, this station competition to Penglin Shidong and other young people are also out early, indeed let us feel the pressure, the team's middle generation players and veterans can withstand it, this point is also very worthy of attention, especially Ma Long and Fan Zhendong is the focus of everyone's attention.
In the last Star Challenge, Ma Long did not participate, and Fan Zhendong was out in advance, so we hope to see the two core players of the men's singles can successfully complete the meeting, and the two are guarding the upper and lower half of the division, and everyone is also looking forward to Ma Long and Fan Zhendong meeting in the final and providing a peak duel for fans around the world, which will also build confidence in the national table tennis men's team and bring more help to the championship in the Paris Olympics.
But everyone is also very clear that it is difficult to let Ma Long and Fan Zhendong meet in the Grand Slam men's singles final, after all, they face many challenges from strong opponents on the way forward, and if they also break out like Chen Meng Wang Yidi, it is indeed very unfavorable to the national table tennis men's team. Therefore, it is necessary to put an end to the emergence of coldness, Ma Long's opponent in this round is Qiu Dang, Fan Zhendong's opponent is Moregaude, and the reason why Chen Meng Wang Yidi these world champions are upset is related to the five-game three-win format, national table tennis players are slow and hot, so the five-game three-win game tolerance rate is too low, which eventually leads to an upset loss.
Just before the start of the men's singles quarterfinals, according to the latest decision officially announced by the ITTF, the next men's singles competition of the Grand Slam was adjusted to a best-of-seven game, so that the national table tennis became the biggest winner, Ma Long and Fan Zhendong in the next with excellent strength, the possibility of being upset is minimal, because the seven-game four-win game, often the last laugh is the stronger side, such a format The chance of upsetting is very small, but also let Ma Long and Fan Zhendong get the ultimate increase in the next match.
The National Table Tennis Grand Slam received an unexpected surprise, the format of this Grand Slam was adjusted in time, so that the hidden danger of several core knockouts of the national table tennis men's team was minimized, which also reassured Liu Guoliang and Wang Hao, and we also look forward to Ma Long and Fan Zhendong can successfully meet in the final, strive to win the men's singles championship and runner-up in this Grand Slam, and blow the clarion call for the national table tennis men's team in the Paris Olympic cycle.
