Table tennis is China's national sport, since the success of table tennis diplomacy, table tennis has set off a boom in the country, and therefore has cultivated many outstanding athletes, especially female athletes, Chinese women's table tennis has always had a strong dominance in the world.
Whether it is in the Olympic Games or in the World Cup, the Chinese women's table tennis team is almost always able to win the championship and runner-up, and today's national table tennis team, a group of young good seedlings have emerged, their strength should not be underestimated, such as Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi, these two girls are undoubtedly the hope of the future of national table tennis, and their growth is inseparable from the careful training of their predecessors and coaching staff.
Speaking of the recent ITTF competition, I believe many people will think of the just-concluded Nagoya Finals, which is a very important competition and the last stop of the women's table tennis ranking points competition, and the result of the game will have a very big impact on the world ranking.
In this finals, the Chinese team sent a number of main players including Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong to participate, and their performance was also quite good, especially in the women's singles competition, Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha reached the finals and semifinals respectively, and finally won the runner-up and championship, and once again achieved impressive results for national table tennis on the world stage.
Let's talk about Sun Yingsha first, as a member of the Chinese women's table tennis team, her strength is beyond doubt, whether it is in the backhand fast attack or forehand volley, Sun Yingsha's skills are all mastered, and she is also very experienced in the game, and can maintain a stable mentality at critical moments.
In this finals, Sun Yingsha has been in very good shape, defeating a number of strong opponents in a row, and finally successfully advanced to the finals, and with her stable performance and excellent psychological quality, she successfully defeated Japan's Kasumi Ishikawa, successfully won the championship of this tournament, and also got the most points for her world ranking.
Speaking of Wang Yidi, her name has recently reappeared in everyone's sight, and for a period of time, Wang Yidi's state seems to have been a little up and down, resulting in the ranking staying at No. 4, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to her, after all, she has always had the dream of returning to the world's No. 1.
However, just when many people thought that she would be in a slump all the time, the arrival of the Nagoya finals seemed to give Wang Yidi a shot in the arm, and her state has rebounded significantly, defeating many opponents in a row, and finally reaching the final, and defeating the Japanese star Shi Yang in the final, successfully won the runner-up, and also made her ranking to a higher level again, to the second place in the world.
Of course, in addition to the two girls of the Chinese team, other players also performed very well in the competition, such as Japan's Hina Hayata, who participated in the finals as a member of the Japanese team and finally finished fifth.
Another example is South Korea's Shen Liu, although her ranking is not very high, but in the game, her performance is very eye-catching, and she has repeatedly drawn the top players in the world, which can be said to have caused a lot of trouble to her opponents, and also let everyone see the potential strength of Korean table tennis.
After the fierce competition in the Nagoya Finals, the International Table Tennis Federation also announced the latest world rankings for the first time.
First of all, of course, the women's rankings, because the results of the Nagoya finals have been announced, so there are finally some new changes in the ranking list this time, and the first place is still Sun Yingsha, her total points have come to 8550 points, compared to other players still have a certain advantage.
She was followed by China's Wang Yidi, who performed quite well in this tournament, so the ranking rose directly from fourth place to second in one breath, with a total of 4505 points, which is of great significance to her and is also the best footnote to the rebound in form in recent times.
The third and fourth ranked are China's Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, respectively, it can be said that the current women's ranking list is completely dominated by China, and players from other countries have not yet found a suitable breakthrough opportunity and need to break through in future competitions.
In addition to the changes in the top few places, there have also been some adjustments in other rankings, such as Japan's Misei Ito, who has also slipped to tenth place due to the ups and downs of her form during this period, while South Korea's Han Ying has risen to ninth position.
In addition, Zheng Yijing of Chinese Taipei, although she has always been relatively low in the rankings, but in this competition, she played very well, so she successfully squeezed into the top 10 ranks, which is undoubtedly a huge encouragement for her.
On the men's ranking list, because the finals have not yet ended, there has not been much change in the ranking list this time, Fan Zhendong is still firmly at the top of the list, and followed by China's teenager Wang Chuqin, his strength has been greatly improved during this time, and he is getting closer and closer to the world No. 1.
In addition to the Chinese players, the strength of other countries should not be underestimated, such as Hugo from Brazil, his strength has always been relatively stable, and the ranking has always been among the top few, this time he successfully won the fifth good result, adding a lot of points to his world ranking.
Through this world ranking list, we can clearly see the strong strength of Chinese table tennis in the world competition, not only in the women's competition, but also in the men's competition, the strength of the Chinese team should not be underestimated, and it can be firmly ranked in the top few positions.
Such results are inseparable from the athletes' usual hard training, but also inseparable from the careful guidance of the coaching staff and the full support of all parties, the development of Chinese table tennis can be said to be getting better and better, and more and more loved by fans at home and abroad, everyone is also full of expectations for the results of the national table tennis competition, I hope they can achieve better results in the future competition.
As a domestic sport, table tennis has always been very popular, and what kind of outstanding players are in the Chinese table tennis team, which is also very concerned by many fans, and everyone also cheers for the Chinese team through the live broadcast of various games, and is happy that they can achieve good results.
Of course, the national table tennis players also have a very heavy pressure on their shoulders, because their competition results often represent the honor of the country, but no matter what kind of opponent they encounter, we all believe in the strength of the national table tennis, and we also look forward to them being able to shine on the field and bring wonderful games to the audience.
In sports, it is not only the players who participate in the competition, but also countless spectators, and it is precisely because of the enthusiastic support of the audience that the competitions can be particularly exciting, and can also stimulate the players to have more fighting spirit and potential.
No matter what kind of competition, we can feel the spirit of unity and hard work, but also draw the strength to move forward, I hope that every player involved in the game can devote themselves to the game, not afraid of strong opponents, bravely meet the challenge, I believe that through the joint efforts of everyone, will be able to present one wonderful game after another.
