The 2023 Macau Championship is over, the national table tennis is still the biggest winner, not only once again to win the final four of the women's singles, but also the champion and runner-up of the men's singles, the dominance of the women's singles is very strong, although Chen Xingtong was unexpectedly out in the first round, but the other players played well, especially Chen Meng and Wang Manyu returned strongly, so that Sun Yingsha no longer stands alone, competing with each other, Sun Yingsha can also realize that she cannot win streak, the World Table Tennis Championships is the goal.
Wang Chuqin gradually played after the Tokyo Olympics, and had good competitiveness before, but the experience was not enough to participate in the Olympics, and the growth rate in the past two years has been rapid, and the current world ranking has reached No. 2, Singapore stopped at the top four, Xinxiang stopped at the top eight, and this time reached the final.
Before the game, more people are optimistic about Wang Chuqin winning the championship, he has a certain upper hand over Ma Long, and in the end he lost without forming much confrontation, the first game was actually more intense, but Ma Long did not grasp the 3 game points, after losing the game, the second game directly collapsed, 1-11 fiasco, for the Grand Slam, this score is somewhat humiliating, before Ding Ning lost 0-11 to Ito Mimako, it attracted a lot of controversy, and even Ding Ning also made history, the first Grand Slam player was shaved in a game. By the end of the second inning, Malone had given up a little, although he was trying different serves, extensions, tactics, etc., all of which didn't work well.
Liu Guoliang, who has been watching the game on the spot, did not comfort Ma Long like Sun Yingsha after the game, in fact, Ma Long does not need comfort, is already a very mature veteran, what championship has not won, such a situation to lose is also normal, analysis and review is useless, Ma Long's psychology is the clearest, Liu Guoliang still commented on Ma Long: "conservative, less offense, holding the downside."
Personally, I think that the most conservative is mainly in the first game 10-7 holding 3 points, both extensions are slow rubbing, but also high, Wang Chuqin knows that Ma Long rarely takes the initiative to twist up, so he did not send a strong downspin ball, to create a third board of the opportunity to attack, the effect is very good, Ma Long's 2 consecutive extensions are the same extensions, can be picked.
There were not many active attacks throughout the game, and the balls handled in the table did not prevail. Ma Long mainly relies on forehand attacks, this game is not much, on the one hand, Wang Chuqin's hitting quality is very high, it is difficult to have good opportunities, on the other hand, the active attack is also less, to the stalemate stage is even more unable to resist, most of them are Wang Chuqin scored.
Semifinals and finals two 4-0 sweep opponents, in the men's singles is still very rare, Wang Chuqin did it, these two games can play domineering, the state is almost bursting, the technology is even more vivid, Zhang Benzhihe, Ma Long are the top four in the world, and even some fans think that Wang Chuqin's era is coming, it is too early, need to pass Fan Zhendong, Fan Zhendong was previously downside, and also needs a singles world championship title, world ranking to the first, young Wang Chuqin has a great future, Looking forward to the performance of the World Table Tennis Championships, it is also worth paying attention to whether it can win the three crowns.
