There are 6 people shortlisted in the national table tennis, in addition to the five main forces, there is also a rookie Lin Shidong also successfully got the opportunity to participate, although this year's results are not much bright, several games are a round of tours, but won two championship wild cards, the top eight results of the Xinxiang Championship, and the runner-up of the star game, as a whole, this year's improvement is relatively fast, the new hope of national table tennis, but the stability needs to be improved.
Men's competition is obviously more fierce than women's, national table tennis wants to maintain the whole court, it is difficult not to lose the foreign war, 16 men's singles are very strong, the first round is bound to be difficult to play, only set the top 4 seeds, which means that the 5th to 16th players may meet the top 4 players in the first round.
Recently, Zhang Benzhihe and Lin Yunru have been in good shape, both of them have defeated the national table tennis, and F. Lebrun is also very threatening, and he is the youngest member of the men's singles team.
All use the knockout round, the chance is relatively large, in addition to the strength, the signing of the table also affects the outcome of the game, like Zhang Benzhi and this kind of ups and downs of the player, the signing of the table is very important to him, Lin Yunru was in a very good state last month, whether he can maintain a high level in the future is still a question, but every time he plays with the national table tennis, he can play a very high level, and it must be the biggest obstacle to the national table tennis championship.
