The draw ceremony of the Durban World Table Tennis Championships ended, the women's singles top 32 list was first released, and there was another debate on the Internet, who got the "favor of Chairman Liu Guoliang" and got the sign? Who has a bad fate and is put in the group of death? Is it someone who desires fairness based on facts and shouts loudly, or is it a psychological gloomy rake and crazy smear?
The draw was participated by Wang Manyu and Fan Zhendong and others, and the whole process was broadcast live, and 32 team members were divided into four groups according to the ranking, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Ito Mimako, Hina Hayada, Han Ying as the eight seeded players, respectively. The specific groupings are as follows:

Among the opponents of the four national table tennis athletes, the strongest opponent Sun Yingsha encountered was Han Ying, ranked 10th in the world, and the most "weak" opponent encountered was Winter, ranked 43rd in the world; The strongest opponent Wang Yidi has encountered is Hina Hayada, ranked 8th in the world, and the most "weak" opponent encountered is Bruna Takahashi, ranked 37th in the world; The strongest opponent Chen Meng has encountered is Misei Ito, ranked 7th in the world, and the most "weak" opponent he has encountered is Batra, ranked 39th in the world; The strongest opponent Wang Manyu has faced is Chen Xingtong, ranked 5th in the world, and the weakest opponent he has met is Cui Xiaozhu, ranked 42nd in the world.
If expressed in an inappropriate, but easy-to-understand way, Sun Yingsha's opponent rankings total:
35+26+16+12+43+29+10=171
The sum of Wang Yidi's opponent rankings is:
30+34+19+20+37+31+8=179
Sum of opponent rankings in the top half: 171+179=350
The sum of Chen Meng's opponent rankings is:
27+28+18+11+39+33+7=163
The sum of Wang Manyu's opponent rankings is:
24+36+14+15+23+42+5=159
The sum of the opponents' rankings in the second half: 163+159=322
What does the summation of rankings indicate? The lower the number, the higher the overall ranking of the athletes in the quarter and a half of the district, and if sorted in this way, Wang Manyu's opponent ranks highest, followed by Chen Meng, and the opponent in the lower half ranks significantly higher than the upper half.
The reason why the author uses such an imperfect but intuitive statistical method is because too many people always habitually attack so-and-so for signing a signature, and so-and-so is taken care of by Chairman Liu Guoliang, and his psychology is so dirty that he eats conspiracy theories.
In fact, table tennis as a "world" niche project, there are so many athletes participating in the competition, who meets who is normal, this someone has to say, Ito Mimai can not meet Chen Meng for a few years, and every time is Sa Sa stop vine, since the Budapest Championship, Chen Meng has successively in the 2022 Budapest Championship, Macau Championship, Xinxiang Finals, 2023 Singapore Grand Slam, Xinxiang Championship and Ito Mimakoto in the same half, and Sun Yingsha only in the Xinxiang Championship with Ito in the same half, if you take the draw to say something, Obviously, Chen Meng encountered Ito more often. And Ito and Chen Meng did not encounter for a long time not because they were not in the same half of the district, but because one side eliminated and could not encounter, what does this have to do with the draw? Some people deliberately confuse the concept and confuse the two, obviously the same half as Ito, but it is said that every time they draw lots to avoid Ito, and ball blindness often flocks without investigation.
In addition, many people say that Liu Guoliang guaranteed Chen Meng to achieve a Grand Slam, it is worth mentioning that this is Wang Manyu's third consecutive World Table Tennis Championships and Chen Meng in the same half area, and following the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Chen Meng again in the World Table Tennis Championships with Chen Xing and Wang Manyu in the same half of the region, but also again very likely to encounter two top Japanese table tennis athletes, just such a draw, still attacked as Liu Guoliang to achieve Chen Meng Grand Slam unscrupulous, is this not to avoid Chen Meng to achieve the Grand Slam all the means? Of course, the author does not agree with the strange brain circuit of some rice circle fans who cheated in the so-called international competition.
Many people don't watch the game at all, don't know the facts, open their mouths and spray, but never see them list a little evidence, maybe dissatisfied with reality, they need to find an outlet on the Internet!
