The regular season of table tennis will start on January 14! The four main forces of national table tennis participated, and only one mixed doubles was registered
On January 14, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT star match came to an end in Doha, Qatar, and the WTT regular season will start in place soon after, Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe, Zhang Yuzhen, Lin Zhongxun, Falke, Shen Yubin, Tian Zhixi, Zhu Qianxi, Yang Xiaoxin, Du Kaiqin, Zheng Yijing and other names will continue to participate, but the lineup of the Chinese team makes many fans unable to understand.
It turned out that although the national table tennis had four main players to sign up this time, it was indeed a bit strange to let Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha and Lin Gaoyuan/Wang Manyu participate in the mixed doubles, and the remaining four events were all given up - see below for more details.
The regular season is not a high-level event in the WTT World Table Tennis Federation system, but on the one hand, because this year is an Olympic year, there are many athletes who want to compete more and grab points, and on the other hand, because the WTT Doha Stars Tournament is also held here, some associations have signed up together.
Through the official website, it can be seen that many athletes who participated in the star tournament appeared in the regular season list, including the national table tennis rivals just mentioned, but the Chinese team only sent two pairs to participate in the mixed doubles this time, which immediately sparked heated discussions.
First of all, if the national table tennis is to train mixed doubles, then our strongest opponent in this event, the Japanese pair Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata, has not yet signed up (Tomokazu Zhangmoto stays, Hina Hayada does not play);
Finally, instead of practicing mixed doubles, why not participate in other sports, especially singles, after all, singles opponents may be stronger than mixed doubles, and there are points for winning, but why not sign up for this part? Fans are full of questions about this.
Obviously, in the case of the four main players of national table tennis signing up for mixed doubles, it is indeed very difficult for the foreign association to win the championship of this project, but there will naturally be a vacuum of strength in other projects, after all, it will be difficult to predict the outcome without the participation of Chinese team players, among which Lin Yunru, Zhang Benzhihe and others will undoubtedly become the focus of everyone's attention.
According to the arrangement, at 18:00 pm Beijing time on January 14, the qualifying battle of the Doha regular season will be ushered in, and Wu Huicheng, Zhao Dacheng, Garcina, Gana Sekaran and other names will appear, so let's wait and see what happens!
