The 2023 Durban World Table Tennis Championships has ended, Ma Lin, the head coach of the national table tennis women's team, was interviewed by reporters, and made comments on several famous players who were more concerned about everyone, including the six golden flowers of national table tennis who participated in this competition, while pointing out our future preparation priorities and main opponents, and at the same time talking about their feelings about leading the team for the first time, full of dry goods.
First of all, for the final of Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, Ma Lin bluntly said that the two "have a lot of pressure", because they have not won the women's singles championship, so "the burden is relatively heavy", but the two still "basically played their level".
For Hina Hayada, the only Japanese and foreign association player to reach the final four singles in this tournament, Ma Lin admitted that the other party has been our main opponent in the women's line in the past year or two, ranking high and with a high technical and tactical level, so "it should be our main opponent in the coming period", and it seems that she has been valued more than Mimato Ito.
When it comes to Wang Yidi's loss to Hina Hayada, Marin feels that "it's rare in girls' matches... It's a pity", but for Wang Yidi, "it is also a kind of growth and experience".
The biggest upset of this World Table Tennis Championships is the women's doubles defending champion Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu's 0-3 defeat to the South Korean pair Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin, which surprised many fans, and Ma Lin also talked about her views.
Ma Lin first thought that Tian Zhixi/Shen Yubin's performance was very good, and secondly felt that Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu "was a little worse in the scheduling and excitement of the game", and the second game lead did not have some impact. For the widely rumored problem of Wang Manyu's injury, Ma Lin did not mention much, but the reporter still raised her own questions about her performance.
Ma Lin believes that Wang Manyu's competition is "too burdensome", so he "did not fully release and mobilize his state" - from the 7-game narrow victory with the Ukrainian player, Wang Manyu's performance was not very ideal. Ma Lin also made a statement in this regard, she will go back to communicate with Wang Manyu, "help her get out of the trough as soon as possible."
For Chen Xingtong, Ma Lin believes that she has broken through herself by standing on the singles podium this time, and is constantly overcoming and surpassing herself. And the young player who participated in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time is also growing up and feels the cruelty of the World Series.
Looking forward to the Paris Olympics, Ma Lin believes that this World Table Tennis Championships is a good test for athletes, so that everyone can recognize their shortcomings and then grow up with the right medicine. Since it was the first time to lead the team as a head coach, Marin also bluntly said that "there is a lot of pressure on herself", so she and the players have been trained.
Looking back on the whole match, Ma Lin believes that the women's doubles final is the most nervous, so "the most beautiful moment is to celebrate together after winning the women's doubles final", while not forgetting to re-emphasize the threat of the Korean team, which is indeed very cautious.
