The pattern of national table tennis has changed greatly! Meng Shayu's "troika" is facing the possibility of disintegration, and Wang Yidi is expected to take the throne

The list of national table tennis for the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games has been released, and all the top ten main players have been selected, but there is one place that has caused greater controversy, that is, Wang Yidi replaced Chen Meng, forced Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong to participate in the women's singles event.

Because the Asian Games singles champion can provide up to 3000 Olympic points, the runner-up and third place can also get 1500 and 750 points, second only to the World Table Tennis Championships, so Wang Yidi's selection of singles is completely likely to make the pattern of the national table tennis women's team change dramatically, at present, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu "troika" system has begun to shake, Wang Manyu regressed, Wang Yidi advanced, Chen Xingtong is still on the edge.

As we all know, since Liu Shiwen withdrew from the team event at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the national table tennis women's team has formed the top three main lineups with Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu as the core, which has basically remained unchanged in the past three years, and all three of them have also won the singles championship of the Olympic Games or the World Table Tennis Championships, and the results are obviously stronger than Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong.

After Wang Manyu singles reached the top of the 2021 World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, the "troika" entered an unstable period, Wang Yidi rose to win the singles championship of the national championships and the Asian Cup, Chen Xingtong also created good results from time to time, and the situation in 2023 has changed again.

After a period of low points, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng rose strongly again, meeting the final round of singles at the Durban World Table Tennis Championships and winning the championship and runner-up respectively, and Wang Manyu, as the defending champion, lost 0-4 to Chen Xingtong and stopped in the quarterfinals.

But even so, Chen Xingtong's status in the team has not been significantly improved, but Wang Yidi, the only one to lose the singles battle at the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, has gained more reuse, beating the other three main players Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Sun Yingsha was selected into the singles team of the Hangzhou Asian Games, which is obviously very high.

At present, it seems that Wang Yidi has the possibility of "protecting four and fighting three", although the Durban World Table Tennis Championships lost to Hina Hayada, but it is not a fiasco, the score is still very close, and other teammates other than Sun Yingsha may not be able to win steadily. With Wang Manyu's poor physical condition and Chen Xingtong's delay in winning the important singles championship, Wang Yidi did usher in a huge opportunity for development.

As long as Wang Yidi can reach the final at the Asian Games, whether or not she wins the championship, it will be enough to hit the third place in the Olympic standings of the women's team, but if she loses another foreign battle, I am afraid that she will be abandoned by the coaching staff: whether it is a blessing or a curse, it depends on her own performance.

Let's sit back and wait for the Asian Games to begin!
