Since Wang Chuqin Xi practiced with Sun Yingsha in the mixed doubles competition, his forehand pull and running strokes have improved a lot. At present, Fan Zhendong is lacking in running and hitting the ball and moving under his feet, so he should learn more from Wang Chuqin's successful example and participate in more doubles competitions, which is not only to improve his singles ability, but also to prepare for the next Olympic team competition.
In last night's Doha men's finals, we can see that Fan Zhendong lost to Wang Chuqin in terms of the fluency of movement and forehand and backhand conversion, and even if Wang Chuqin retreats to the middle and far platform, he can also pull the ball through the smooth connection of the forehand and backhand, turn defense into offense, and turn passive into active.
Wang Chuqin's improvement in this area is mainly due to the training of partnering with Sun Yingsha in the mixed doubles competition, because the male players have to take on a lot of mid-to-far platform hitting and attacking tasks in the mixed doubles competition, creating scoring opportunities for the female players. Therefore, it is necessary for male players to move quickly in footwork, balance their forehand and backhand, and be stable in running and hitting the ball.
The international online network once commented: Wang Chuqin's forehand attack is violent at the same time without losing calm, and the backhand fast tearing diagonal line is often played through the ball, there are no obvious loopholes in the style of play, it is better than Zhou Yu, the backhand is super strong, and the forehand is weak;
In the mixed doubles with Sun Yingsha, under the training of Xiao Zhan, first of all, the footwork problem has been well solved, because the mixed doubles game needs to move quickly to deal with the opponent's quick strokes, so Wang Chuqin's footwork is getting better and better.
Secondly, in the mixed doubles competition, because of the saving and running, sometimes you can rely on the backhand throughout the whole process like in the singles match, and you have to improve the offensive ability of the forehand, so the forehand is also trained.
Finally, in the mixed doubles, the consistency of the running shot needs to be improved because the ball is often hit on the move. The best example of this is Xu Xin, why it is said that Xu Xin has the world of doubles, is because Xu Xin's forehand, movement and running are his strengths, and the nickname of the python also proves his ability from the side.
From Fan Zhendong's recent games, we can see that Fan Zhendong's change of line on the forehand position often cares about one or the other. At the same time, in the forehand pull, whether it is with Ma Long or Wang Chuqin, the footwork moves slowly, and the running shot is often resisted, so that it is lost. If he had been training and competing more in doubles, he might have been able to improve on these aspects.
At the same time, the Paris 2024 men's team competition will limit the number of participants in the team with only three participants. According to the current Olympic points, if there are no injuries or other accidents, Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long are relatively likely to participate.
In order to take care of his third singles and increase the selectivity of the Olympic team competition, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, or Wang Chuqin and Ma Long will be considered to partner in the men's doubles match. From this aspect, Fan Zhendong also needs to strengthen the training of doubles competitions.
At present, the coach of the national team also has a plan to take this aspect into account, so in the game, the combination of Wang Chuqin and Ma Long, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong often appears on the field, which mainly considers Wang Chuqin's left-handed racket, which is conducive to the combination of doubles with one left and one right.
Now Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong are ranked No. 1 in the world in men's doubles, but watching the men's finals in Doha, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin in the men's doubles match against Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong, the two still have great shortcomings, which also requires the two to strengthen exercise, especially to run more tacitly and actively.
Of course, I recommend that Fan Zhendong also play mixed doubles with women, especially to dominate Fan Zhendong to run and hit the ball in the middle and far platform, exercise his running ability and forehand pulling ability, and improve his footwork and movement speed.
Of course, we can't draw conclusions based on a win or loss in the men's doubles in Doha, but Fan Zhendong's ability to improve in these aspects is needed from the perspective of personal development and ability improvement, as well as from the arrangement and outlook of the team event for the Paris Olympics.
And many people are saying that Fan Zhendong is fat, which affects his movement speed. According to scientists' research, running more can reduce muscle formation, so people who don't run often are afraid that they will lose the muscles they have worked out with great difficulty. Playing so many doubles matches can also shape Fan Zhendong into a better body shape and lay a solid physical foundation for him to win more matches. #文章首发挑战赛#
