In the Doha WTT men's finals, the Chinese national table tennis won two championships, Wang Chuqin defeated Fan Zhendong in the men's singles final, and Yuan Licen joined hands with Xiang Peng to defeat Lin Shidong and Lin Gaoyuan to win the championship. Among them, Wang Chuqin, who won the men's singles championship, won the first men's singles championship of national table tennis in 2024, and at the same time unlocked a new achievement, he ranked first in the national table tennis team in terms of individual points in all competitions in the 2023 season, successfully surpassing Fan Zhendong.
Judging from the specific data, Wang Chuqin's total score reached 14,852 points, 43 points more than Fan Zhendong, which means that Wang Chuqin is the first men's singles in national table tennis. In addition, Wang Chuqin is currently more than 6,000 points ahead of the third-place Ma Long, occupying a huge advantage, and it is expected that Wang Chuqin will lock in a singles place for the Paris Olympics in advance and have a chance to impact the Olympic men's singles championship.
As a post-00 generation of national table tennis, Wang Chuqin represents a new force, and in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Wang Chuqin went to Tokyo with the team as a wild card player, but did not appear in the end, watching his predecessors win the Olympic gold medal. Throughout 2023, Wang Chuqin has defeated Ma Long and Fan Zhendong head-on many times, especially in the duel with the Dragon team, Wang Chuqin has won 5 consecutive victories, including multiple WTT finals, Wang Chuqin proved that he has the level to win the World Series singles championship, and his personal world ranking once reached No. 1.
However, Wang Chuqin was not complacent, and he did not celebrate wildly after winning the championship, but just said: "2024, continue to work hard." At present, Wang Chuqin's highest gold medal at the competition level is the men's singles gold medal at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games and the men's singles championship at the WTT World Cup. He has not yet won the men's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic men's singles championship, so he is not a real top player in the world and lacks hard honors.
But competitive sports always need to have a wave to strike, China's national table tennis into the 21st century can maintain the posture of the king for a long time, but also because of the hungry talents, from the two kings and one horse to the three musketeers, and then to the genius Fan Zhendong was born, the national table tennis men's team has never lacked talents, and Wang Chuqin is the leading candidate of the next era, and has the opportunity to become a legend of national table tennis.
After playing the WTT finals, Wang Chuqin will immediately devote himself to the preparation of the Doha Regular Challenge, the game is still ongoing, Wang Chuqin can not relax, he is an excellent player that the national table tennis men's team currently relies on, men's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles A total of three events, Wang Chuqin needs to play performance.
