If Wang Chuqin continues to fight like this, he will become the new first brother of national table tennis.
In the table tennis men's finals, Wang Chuqin first defeated Lebrun, and then swept Zhang Benzhihe, and advanced to the semifinals strongly. Felix Lebrun, the younger brother of the French glasses brothers, has improved dramatically over the past year, ranking in the top 10 in the world. The key is that this child is only 17 years old, and his performance is already very sophisticated. In this finals, Lebrun Jr. met Wang Chuqin, although there was no suspense in the final result, Wang Chuqin won, but the big head also admitted that Lebrun Jr. played very strongly, and will be the number one opponent of national table tennis in the future.
After Lebrun, Wang Chuqin ushered in Zhang Ben Zhihe, needless to say, the small motorcycle has been known as the biggest rival of national table tennis in the past few years, the children of Zhang Ben's family seem to be like this, from the age of 10 can quickly emerge in Japan, his sister Zhang Ben Meihe, only 15 years old, has now become the top player of the Japanese team. Even if you open up the fight, you should be able to count it as the top two in Japan.
Zhang Benzhihe's peak time should be in 2022, when the small motorcycle, in the final of the Budapest Championship, fell behind 0-3, and finally reversed 4-3 to win the championship, his opponent was Lin Gaoyuan, after that game, he directly beat General Kobayashi to the bottom, and he has not slowed down for nearly a year.
And Zhang Benzhihe's performance after that was still amazing, the Chengdu World Cup defeated Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong one after another, and almost led the Japanese team to overturn the national table tennis. It can be said that at that time, Zhang Benzhihe had already made the national table tennis feel like a great enemy.
But in 2023, Zhang Benzhihe will gradually pull across, and the world ranking will gradually decline, but in the eyes of national table tennis, Zhang Benzhihe is still the strongest opponent, this time in the finals, Zhang Benzhihe defeated Ma Long's big protector Ocharov 3-2, and the momentum was very strong, but when he faced Wang Chuqin, he was cleaned up by the big head and lost 0-3, in front of Wang Chuqin, Zhang Benzhihe had no chance at all.
Wang Chuqin entered the semifinals, his opponent was Qiu Dang, this is another unexpected rival, why is it unexpected, Qiu Dang is a Chinese player, has been famous for a long time, has won the European Championships, and is also an absolute figure in the European table tennis world, but in the German national team, what can threaten the national table tennis, or have influence among the national table tennis fans, is their troika, Bol, Ocharov, Francesca.
But in the past two years, Qiu Dang's upward momentum has been fierce, and the world ranking has squeezed into the ranks of top players. Especially in this finals, Qiu Dang overturned two national table tennis players one after another, Lin Shidong and Liang Jingkun, which was a big surprise, and Qiu Dang also became the only foreign association player in the top four finals.
Wang Chuqin successively defeated Lebrun Jr., Zhang Benzhihe, and ushered in Qiu Dang, it can be said that the big head is guarding the door for the national table tennis and escorting the final championship. There are two signals released here, one is that although Qiu Dang's strength should not be underestimated, with Wang Chuqin's strength, there is still a high probability of winning, which makes the big head enter the finals and point to the championship, with a higher probability.
The second signal is that no matter what the result of the game with Qiu Dang is, it is very good news for Wang Chuqin to defeat the two strong opponents of national table tennis one after another, the Paris Olympics, he will most likely participate in singles, why do you say that, for the national table tennis coaching staff, it is the most important thing to protect the Olympic gold medal, and it doesn't matter who wins the gold medal, as long as it is a national table tennis player, no matter what your achievements, the most important thing is that the results of the foreign war must be excellent, if the results of the foreign war are not good, everything is in vain.
With Wang Chuqin's current state and psychological quality, if he can win the championship in this finals, he is really expected to replace Fan Zhendong and become the new first brother of national table tennis, what do you think?
