The 2023 ITTF World Table Tennis Championships in Durban continues to enter the third day of competition, and all the national table tennis players currently participating in the competition have successfully advanced to the second round of each individual competition.
In the second round of the men's singles competition, the national table tennis world champion Liang Jingkun and the Olympic champion Ma Long continued to soar, Liang Jingkun faced the Japanese men's table tennis world champion Yoshimura Maharu played although there were ups and downs, but in the end he withstood the pressure and defeated the opponent 4-1, advancing to the third round of the game while giving Yoshimura Maharu two consecutive singles and doubles defeats, it is worth mentioning that Yoshimura Maharu also lost to the national table tennis combination in the last doubles match.
Grand Slam winner Ma Long is still in great form, facing the Chinese Canadian star Wang Zhen, Ma Long withstood the test in the first game, he narrowly won the first game by two points, and then he completely controlled the pace of the game, and finally swept his opponent 4-0 to advance to the third round of men's singles.
Although he lost the game, Ma Long, who is nearly 36 years old, still performed very bravely, which shows that he did his best with every ball; There was also a small episode in the game, that is, in the third game, because he had to catch the opponent's serve, he accidentally fell to the ground and rolled three times, but fortunately he was not injured, and it seems that the veteran is indeed very good at protecting himself.
For this reason, many netizens said that the Dragons are very chic even if they wrestle, which shows that everyone loves the Dragons very much, and this liking has nothing to do with winning or losing, but more reverence. He is still at his peak in the tiebreaker!
Judging from the current situation of the men's team, if you play men's singles, Ma Long can meet her teammates in the finals, if you play men's doubles, Ma Long can still lose the finals with her teammates, and if you play men's team, Ma Long can be the men's doubles and second singles. Therefore, the third person did not appear in the national table tennis Paris Olympic cycle, and Ma Long was in this position before.
It is worth mentioning that this is Ma Long's first Asian Championships men's singles championship in 10 years, and the fourth Asian Championships men's singles championship, he was 21 years old when he won the championship for the first time, and the last time he won the championship was 25 years old, and now Ma Long is about to be 36 years old! Ma Long is also a young genius, but he encountered a lot of setbacks in the process of growing up, if he was an ordinary person, he would have stopped doing it hundreds of times, but Ma Long gritted his teeth and persevered and became the pillar of national table tennis.
Ma Long's career is very long, Ma Long also announced that he will continue his career, may not play much in the tournament, but some open tournaments will still be announced, with the announcement of Ma Long such an unexpected decision is also a pity for Ma Lin, because if Ma Long does not participate in some big events, the suspense of the championship may increase, and I look forward to him being able to achieve good results.
Ma Long is not only invincible in singles, but also quite good in doubles, the combination with Xu Xin swept the world, and Wang Chuqin also won the World Table Tennis Championships men's doubles championship. With Ma Long's announcement of the unexpected decision, Liu Guoliang also understood it thoroughly, because Liu Guoliang knew Ma Long very well, although Ma Long's current physical fitness was a little unable to keep up, but the work in Ma Long's hands, the service routines and technical and tactical routines in his mind were difficult for ordinary table tennis players to imitate and learn.
Nowadays, as long as everyone in national table tennis mentions Ma Long, they will give a thumbs up and praise Ma Long's ability, after all, he is the only double Super Slam winner in the world. Although Ma Long's achievements are not comparable to ordinary players, Ma Long's achievements have become an example for everyone to learn, at least for now, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin have ambitions to become outstanding table tennis players like Ma Long
。 In the early years, the clip of Liu Guoliang's lecture to Ma Long was also often mentioned on the Internet, in the video, Liu Guoliang said to Ma Long mercilessly: "You are nothing but the world's No. 1 now." ”
After all, the ranking of the world's No. 1 depends on the points of all competitions organized by the Table Tennis Federation, and in the national table tennis team with many masters, only the individual champions of the three major competitions (World Cup, World Table Tennis Championships, and Olympic Games) can be recognized. After the invincible god of war Ma Long led the Chinese team to win the men's team championship at the Tokyo Olympics, the reporter asked him how he felt after winning the championship.
Ma Long broke the record of 25 world championships created by him, reaching an unprecedented 26, and became the only Olympic men's team three-time champion, Ma Long has created one miracle after another. The Grand Slam is the addition of the "National Games" championship to the Grand Slam.
The National Games is recognized as the most difficult competition, even if it is as strong as Grand Slam players Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, and Zhang Jike, they have not been able to win the championship in singles. But Malone got it. Grand Slam player, men's table tennis is only Ma Long. I wish Malone to make persistent efforts and achieve glory in the next sports career!
