Introduce:
On October 9, 2023, the ITTF officially announced the registration for the Frankfurt Championships. National Table Tennis announced the list of eight people, led by Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha, and Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong were not selected. For losers, they can only qualify by competing for wildcard opportunities. The tournament will be held in Frankfurt, Germany, from October 29 to November 5. If you win the championship, you can get 1000 points. The level is even higher than the previous Star Challenge. Its gold content speaks for itself. However, due to the competition within the national table tennis team and the limited number of places, the singles world ranking of some main players cannot be improved. Next, we will introduce in detail the list of eight members of National Table Tennis and the reasons why Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong were not selected.
National Table Tennis announced the list of eight people
The four registration lists of the national table tennis men's team are: Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun. Among them, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and Ma Long respectively occupy the top three seeds, and Liang Jingkun is the sixth seed. The four-person list for the women's team is: Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi. They each took the top four seeds. In addition, Japan's Mimato Ito was also confirmed to participate, ranking fifth seed. However, Lin Gaoyuan, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, the world's top ten national table tennis players, were not selected.
Expansion: Among the four players of the national table tennis men's team, Fan Zhendong, as the world's No. 1 player, has always been the leader of the national table tennis men's team. He has performed well in past competitions, winning the World Championship with his consistent performance and strong strength. Wang Chuqin and Ma Long, as the strength players of the national table tennis men's team, are also players who have attracted much attention. Although Liang Jingkun is ranked low, he showed his strength and potential in the competition.
As the leader of the national table tennis women's team, Sun Yingsha has shone on the field in recent years with her excellent performance and stable performance. She has not only achieved a lot of good results in domestic competitions, but also in international competitions. Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi are also powerful players in the national table tennis women's team. They showed good ball skills and competitive form in the game. As a famous Japanese player, the joining of Mimato Ito will undoubtedly add more excitement and competitiveness to the competition.
However, Lin Gaoyuan, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi, the three world's top 10 players, failed to win. Despite their outstanding performances in past tournaments, they failed to qualify for singles due to limited slots. For these unsuccessful players, missing out on this championship game is inevitable.
Fierce competition led to Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong losing the election
The national table tennis competition is highly competitive, and the world ranking is especially important for players. However, the limited number of places eventually led to the loss of some of the main players. As the No. 5 main player, the strength of Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong cannot be underestimated. They have achieved a lot of good results in the past competition, but failed to qualify this time due to the fierce competition.
Expansion: The competition within the national table tennis team has always been very fierce, and each team member is working hard to improve their strength and ranking. On the stage of the ITTF, the world ranking is an important criterion for determining the qualification of players. Places are limited, and the qualifying rounds are mainly shortlisted in the order of world rankings, resulting in some outstanding players being unable to participate.
Lin Gaoyuan is one of the high-profile young players of National Table Tennis. He has performed well in past competitions, showing his strength and potential. Especially against Tomokazu Chang, he showed excellent use of technique and tactics, which put a lot of pressure on his opponents. However, despite his outstanding performance on the field, he failed to qualify for this championship.
Chen Xingtong is also an excellent player, with excellent performances in all competitions. But due to fierce competition, he always lost to his teammates and was eliminated early. Although he worked hard to advance, he was ultimately unable to make the cut.
Although Qian Tianyi does not have a world championship title, he has performed well in past competitions. However, in this championship match, he was also not selected. Although the coaching staff has announced the rules of the game, it is already a gain for these players who did not qualify for the game, because they played fewer games and had relatively low points compared to the selected players. The gap between the players in front is getting bigger and bigger. It is also an unavoidable fact. After all, the number of places in the competition is limited, and it is impossible for everyone to participate.
The predicament of the wild card match
After Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong's fiasco, their last hope is to win the wild card. But as things stand, achieving this goal will not be easy. In the previous two tournaments, Lin Gaoyuan failed to qualify for a wild card. Considering that the home of another team is changed this time, the nomination will definitely be more inclined to host country players such as Germany. Therefore, if you want to qualify for a wild card, you face a big dilemma.
Outreach: For players who didn't qualify, getting a wild card became their last hope. Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong both hope to qualify for the wild card and give themselves a chance to participate in this tournament. However, achieving this goal is not easy. In the past two championships, Lin Gaoyuan has failed to qualify for a wild card, which made them realize the difficulty of obtaining a wild card.
Considering that this tournament is held in Germany, the host country players will definitely be given priority to qualify for wild cards. While the coaching staff will do everything they can to get wild card spots and get more players involved, the reality is often to be accepted. If Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong are unable to qualify for wild cards, it will mean that they will not be able to participate in the tournament and will not be able to earn points. This will also affect whether they can continue to participate in subsequent finals. Considering that Lin Gaoyuan's performance this season is quite good, and has maintained a high foreign win rate, especially the elimination of Zhang Motojiwa in the singles match, this undoubtedly gives him more expectations and hope. Chen Xingtong's performance is also remarkable. He was eliminated after losing every game to his teammates, which showed his strength and potential.
Quota and Contest Rules
Frankfurt is a 1,000-point high-level tournament, and it's understandable that places are limited. After all, the ITTF prioritizes the needs of host countries. This situation is not uncommon in competitions and is also a common practice. Since the ITTF stipulates that the men's team and the women's team each have 4 singles places, the national table tennis will also be shortlisted according to the world ranking when the list is announced. This approach was largely in line with expectations.
Despite the fans' calls for Lin Gaoyuan and others to get wild cards, it was not easy to achieve this goal due to the tournament's quota restrictions and competition rules. Even if the national table tennis coaching staff tries its best to fight for wild card places, under the arrangement of the organizer, there may not be many such opportunities. As a result, players such as Lin Gaoyuan missed the opportunity to participate in the championship game and failed to improve their points. This also raises questions about whether they can participate in the subsequent finals.
Summary:
The ITTF officially announced the registration for the Frankfurt Championships, and the National Table Tennis announced the list of eight, led by Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha. However, Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong failed to participate and could only qualify by fighting for a wild card opportunity. This tournament is a high level, and 1,000 points are awarded for winning the championship, which is an important event for players. However, due to the fierce competition in the national table tennis team and the limited number of places, the world ranking of some of the main players cannot be improved. Despite calls from fans to fight for wild card spots for Lin Gaoyuan and others, this goal is not easy to achieve due to quota restrictions and the bias of the organizers. Therefore, players such as Lin Gaoyuan missed the opportunity to participate, and there is also a certain uncertainty in the improvement of points and participation in subsequent matches.
