Beijing time on April 15, WTT table tennis Xinxiang championship will usher in the final battle, national table tennis in the men's and women's singles successfully meet the final, women's singles final for Sun Yingsha vs. Wang Yidi, men's singles final for Fan Zhendong vs. Liang Jingkun, there is no doubt that the national table tennis team has become the biggest winner of the Xinxiang championship!
Two days after the end of the Xinxiang Championship, the WTT Macau Championship will be held, which will be held from April 17 to 23, which can be said to be a seamless match, which is indeed a very happy thing for fans who love table tennis.
Like the Xinxiang Championship, the Macao Championship has 1,000 points and a championship prize of US$35,000, while the national table tennis team members are slightly different, and the women's singles has increased Qian Tianyi, who is ranked 5th in the world, so far a total of 11 people from the national table tennis have participated in the Macao Championship, of which the 5 men's singles are Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun and Lin Shidong; The women's singles are 6 people, namely Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Qian Tianyi and Chen Xingtong.
On the afternoon of April 15, Beijing time, the official website of the World Table Tennis Federation officially announced the signing form of the WTT Macao Championship, and the details are brought below.
First of all, looking at the women's singles event, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are the top two seeds of the tournament, guarding the upper and lower halves respectively, and Chen Xingtong and Sun Yingsha are in the same 1/4 zone; Chen Meng is divided into the 2/4 zone, which means that Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are in the top half, which is the same as the Xinxiang Championship.
You must know that in the women's singles semifinals of the Xinxiang Championship, Sun Yingsha swept Chen Meng 4-0, and after the game, Chen Meng also confessed that she was defeated, and transferred to Macau, whether Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha can meet again in the semifinals is very worth looking forward to!
Wang Yidi is in the 3/4 zone, in the same zone as Japan's Mimato Ito, and the two are likely to compete for a ticket to the Final Four; And Qian Tianyi, a 23-year-old beauty of National Table Tennis who was nominated by WTT and won the finale to participate in the Macau Championship, is in the same 4/4 district as Wang Manyu.
It is worth mentioning that Qian Tian encountered a strong opponent in the first round and will face the world's 18th rising star Miyu Kihara, in the Olympic qualification tournament in Japan, Miyu Kihara's points are currently second only to Hina Hayada, ahead of Misei Ito, Yoshijun Ishikawa, Miyu Hirano and others, and are very promising to participate in next year's Paris Olympics. As the World Youth Championship women's singles champion, Miyu Kihara's strength cannot be underestimated, so the time has come to test Qian Tianyi's external battle.
Next, looking at the men's singles event, Chinese Taipei's Lin Yunru and Fan Zhendong are in the same 1/4 zone, you must know that in the Xinxiang Championship, Lin Yunru's performance was very good, blocking the Dragons from the quarterfinals, and was affected by injuries in the semifinals, losing 2-4 to Liang Jingkun and missing the final.
Malone is in Zone 2/4 and faces Nigeria's Aruna in the first round, while South Korea's Lim Joong Hoon is also in Zone 2/4 and is likely to compete with the Dragons for a place in the semifinals. In the Xinxiang Championship, Lin Zhongxun eliminated Zhang Benzhihe, and fought Fan Zhendong in 7 games in the semifinals, and the tiebreaker was only 2 points, and it has to be said that South Korea's Lin Zhongxun should be valued by the national table tennis coaching staff.
Liang Jingkun is divided into 3/4 districts, and in the same district as Liang Jingkun is Lin Shidong, a 17-year-old rising star of Guoping. As we all know, Lin Shidong's recent performance is very amazing, in the men's singles 1/8 final of the Xinxiang Championship, the duel with Fan Zhendong once won 3 match points, and finally lost unfortunately, able to force the world's No. 1 Fan Zhendong to a desperate situation, I have to say that Lin Shidong's future is limitless!
It is worth mentioning that in the Macao Championship, Lin Shidong welcomed the challenge of the No. 3 seed in the men's singles and Japan's Tomokazu Zhang in the first round, and this match will undoubtedly be highly anticipated! The event will be on April 17, and on April 18, Lin Shidong will celebrate her 18th birthday. I hope Lin Shidong can use her excellent results to add a gift to her birthday!
Wang Chuqin, the second seed in the men's singles of the tournament, is in the 4/4 zone, and the foreign association players with certain strength in the same area include German Chinese player Qiu Dang and South Korea's Zhang Yuzhen, as long as the big head plays normally, it is not difficult to advance to the final four.
After the Xinxiang Championship, the national table tennis team transferred to Macao non-stop, which was indeed very hard! I hope that every national table tennis team member will still have an outstanding performance in the Macao Championship and defend the glory of national football in our home stadium!
