Singapore Grand Slam Championship, National Table Tennis has won all 5 championships, and is a well-deserved table tennis hegemon. Sun Yingsha/Wang Chuqin won the mixed doubles championship by winning the mixed doubles championship by winning the mixed doubles championship by winning the Zhang Benzhihe / Hayata Zhihe; Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu's seafood combination defeated the new pair of Chen Meng/Wang Yidi to win the women's doubles championship; Fan Zhendong/Wang Chuqin took South Korea's Zhang Yuzhen/Lim Jong-hoon to the picture, and the men's doubles won the crown. The men's and women's singles champions will be between Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha and Qian Tianyi.
Fan Zhendong has been playing with injuries since the first round of the game. Fan Zhendong not only participated in singles, but also mixed doubles and men's doubles. This is a big test for Fan Zhendong, who is injured. In the semifinals, Fan Zhendong defeated Wang Chuqin, who had just won the men's doubles championship with him, and was only one step away from winning the Grand Slam title. It's just that this step is difficult for Fan Zhendong to cross, because the opponent is Ma Long!
When it comes to Ma Long, Qiujun always remembers the 2019 Budapest World Table Tennis Championships, and after he won the championship, he mentioned that the future of men's table tennis belongs to Fan Zhendong. Of course, the future of the table tennis world belongs to Fan Zhendong, but only if Ma Long no longer plays. I thought that after Ma Long said that sentence, he would slowly fade out of the arena. However, 4 years have passed, Ma Long is still active in the table tennis world, and the results of the competition are still so dazzling.
Fan Zhendong and Ma Long in the final of the Tokyo Olympics, I thought that Fan Zhendong would continue his highlight, defeat Ma Long to win the championship, and usher in the inheritance of the new and old national table tennis alternate. However, the final result was that Ma Long defeated Fan Zhendong 4-2, becoming the first player in Olympic history to achieve the gold medal in men's singles to defend his title. The future belongs to Fan Zhendong, but when will you retire Ma Long?
In this Singapore Grand Slam, the 35-year-old Ma Long only focused on singles, and all his opponents before the final were photographed by him one by one. In the round of eight, facing Germany's Qiu Dang, after playing 10-0 in the first game, he conceded two goals in order not to embarrass his opponent. Malone dropped four straight sets to easily advance to the semifinals. In the battle of the last 4, facing Brazil's Hugo, Ma Long only let his opponent get one set and successfully advanced to the final, and will compete with Fan Zhendong for the final championship.
Before the Singapore Grand Slam, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long had just met in the Durban Direct Tournament, and Ma Long easily won 3-0. This time again, Fan Zhendong is injured again, and fans are still more optimistic about the imposing Ma Long. Say that Qiujun wants to ask: Marlon, what are you going to do?
You are all 35, why are you still in such a state of such courage. Said that the good future belongs to Fan Zhendong, but when will you retire? Wait two more years, Fan Zhendong's state has begun to go downhill, but you are still going uphill. The young player Lin Shidong was favored by fans, but in this Grand Slam, you easily let him break the sand. Marlon, what are you going to do? You are not the touchstone of all the strong, but the roadblock in their path, the mountains and heavens in front of them.
There are always people asking Malone when you retire, and if you don't retire, young players won't have a chance. It can be said that Qiujun feels that the seat is not conceived, but played. When our young players can beat Ma Long, it means that they can pick the big beam in the national table tennis, and Ma Long can rest assured to abdicate and make way for Xian. As long as Malone can continue to win on the field, when will he retire, why should we worry? Malone is handsome, good ball skills, said that Ball Jun still wants to watch him for a few more years!
