For the Chinese team won the 146th gold, and Fan Zhendong regretted that he did not have the opportunity to defend the championship, it is worth celebrating that Wang Chuqin became the absolute king of table tennis in the Asian Games, and strongly won the gold medals in the men's team, men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles of table tennis, becoming the new "quadruple champion" of the Asian Games, and also became a veritable all-round king, congratulations to Wang Chuqin!!
In the men's singles competition of the Asian Championships table tennis that just ended, world No. 1 Fan Zhendong and world No. 2 Wang Chuqin failed to win the championship as they wished, Xiao Fat lost to his old rival Ma Long in the final, and the big head was upset in the first round and lost to Japan's Yuta Tanaka, these two players are holding their breath in the Asian Games to fight back strongly, so the first and second two people are very eager to win the Asian Games men's singles championship, so as to regain confidence and domineering. But in the end, the defending champion of the Asian Games table tennis men's singles Fan Zhendong lost to his junior brother Wang Chuqin with a score of 3-4, and the big head laughed to the end, and also became the gold king of the Asian Games table tennis event.

In the sixth game, Fan Zhendong returned one, 11-7, 3-3.
In the seventh game, Wang Chuqin won the tiebreaker 11-8 and defeated the defending champion 4-3 to win the men's singles championship.
Fan Zhendong did not have the opportunity to defend the men's singles title of Asian Games, and some fans felt that he was very accustomed to it. Little fat debuted very early, the teenager became famous, seemingly smooth sailing on the road to table tennis, but in fact it is bumpy and bumpy, even now, it has become a well-deserved perennial world number one, but still lost the Asian Championship championship, lost to the veteran Ma Long twice in a year, lost to Wang Chuqin, did not have the opportunity to defend the Asian Games gold medal, did Little Fat fall to the bottom? Will his time still come! What happened to him?
Little fat entered the national team at the age of 15, won 3 gold medals in the World Youth Championships, less than 17 years old went straight to the Paris World Table Tennis Championships, and finally lost to Zhang Jike, at the National Games, won the men's team men's doubles gold medal, men's singles lost to Ma Long, won the silver medal, at that time, all fans were discussing: The era of Little Fat is coming! Where is it so simple, Ma Long is always strong, Little Fat has never been able to get over, and Ma Long has become a hurdle that he has never been able to pass.
In 2017, the World Table Tennis Championships final lost to Ma Long, the National Games, Qatar and Japan Open he lost, the 2018 China Open lost to Ma Long, in 2019, he won 11 consecutive victories to the World Table Tennis Championships, but he was in the limelight, lost to Liang Jingkun and missed the top 8, all fans are looking forward to him to open the era, but there is a lack of fire at the door!
Even if Fan Zhendong has long dominated the world No. 1, his performance is still unstable, Xinxiang World Cup finals lost to Ochalov, 2022 team world championship semifinals lost to Zhang Benzhihe, 2023 direct through final lost to Ma Long, one battle also lost to Zhao Dacheng, Macau Championship lost to Lebrun, Singapore Grand Slam mixed doubles lost to Zhang Benzhihe / Hina Hayada, Zagreb lost to Lin Gaoyuan, Asian Championship men's singles final lost to Ma Long, this time Hangzhou Asian Games, men's singles final he lost to junior brother Wang Chuqin, all the fans are asking what happened to Little Fat? Why is he so volatile?
After the failure to defend the Asian Games, Fan Zhendong left a disappointed and lonely look, his era has not officially opened, he encountered a strong challenge, some fans said that the loss of this competition, does not represent the whole of everything, players have troughs, there will be failures, but he will definitely find the domineering self, stage the return of the king!
