The award ceremony was wonderful, Ma Long Wang Manyu was calm, Wang Yidi was smiling, and Lin Yunru was smiling

The WTT Frankfurt Championship 2023 has come to an end. Two finals were played on the last matchday. There were upsets in both games. The national table tennis players failed to realize their desire to win the men's and women's singles championships.

The women's singles final was played by Wang Yidi against Wang Manyu. This is a civil war in national table tennis, no matter who wins or loses, the national table tennis has won the women's singles championship and runner-up.

Prior to this matchup, the two had faced each other six times on the international stage, with Wang Manyu winning five times and holding an absolute advantage. But in this women's singles final, Wang Yidi swept Wang Manyu 4-0 and won the women's singles championship, which was a big surprise. Wang Manyu was still affected by a sprain in the semi-finals.

In the women's singles semifinals, Wang Manyu faced Hina Hayata, the first sister of Japanese table tennis. Wang Manyu won the first two games. In the third game, Wang Manyu accidentally sprained his foot and had to call a medical timeout. Wang Manyu insisted on playing. Hina Hayada took the opportunity to win the third game. However, Wang Manyu cheered up and won two more games despite being injured, defeating Hina Hayada 4-1 and advancing to the women's singles final. But in the final, Wang Manyu was obviously affected by a foot injury, couldn't keep up with Wang Yidi's rhythm, and finally lost the game.

The award ceremony was held after the game. Although he only won the runner-up, Wang Manyu was not discouraged. After all, she cleared the way for national table tennis. As long as the champion is national table tennis, it doesn't matter who wins the championship.

On the podium, Wang Manyu looked very calm and did not have a trace of regret.

Wang Yidi, who won the championship, was very happy.

After Wang Yidi stepped onto the podium, she looked left and right, looking at which guest presented her with the award. ITTF CEO Steve Denton personally presented the award to Wang Yidi. I don't know what Steve Denton said to Wang Yidi, Dadi laughed happily and smiled so brightly.

In the men's singles final, national table tennis veteran Ma Long faced Lin Yunru. The two have faced each other eight times in the past, and Malone has won five. In this competition, I didn't expect Lin Yunru to defeat Ma Long 4-1 and win the men's singles championship. Lin Yunru's ball skills have improved a lot, and the veteran Ma Long couldn't keep up with the pace of the game and lost the game.

Although he lost the game, Malone was not discouraged. Ma Long is 35 years old, and his physical strength is naturally inferior to that of young people. In this event, he reached the final, played five games, and had a lot of physical exertion. In the final, Ma Long played against Lin Yunru, who was only 22 years old, and his physical strength was obviously inferior to his opponent.

In the last three games, the difference was only 2 points. In the key score, Ma Long lost points because his speed slowed down and couldn't keep up with Lin Yunru's rhythm.

After the race, Marlon was also very calm. Malone has won too many honors, and it doesn't matter if there is one less championship. Not to mention that it's just a WTT event.

This is Lin Yunru's first WTT championship title, so he is naturally very happy. However, Lin Yunru has always been an introverted player. Even if he won the men's singles championship in the championship, he did not show a particularly happy expression, and he looked very flat and unfazed.

On the podium, Lin Yunru held the championship trophy and only showed a slight smile. That's his character.
