On February 7, 2024, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam doubles lineup was announced, and the national table tennis updated the squad.
The Singapore Grand Slam is the top priority of this cycle, because you can get 2,000 points for winning the championship, and 3,000 points for the Olympic selection, which directly affects the world ranking of the players, and is related to the Paris Olympic list.
The National Table Tennis Men's Team Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong, Women's Team Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, invited in turn according to the world rankings, the three doubles are limited to a pair, and the gold content is self-evident.
The national table tennis sent men's doubles Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin, mixed doubles Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng / Wang Manyu to participate, Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin is the winner of last year's World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha won the World Table Tennis Championships twice, both ranked first in the world, Chen Meng / Wang Manyu joined forces, although it is indeed possible to change partners frequently, but in general, the performance is very stable, and it is deeply trusted by the coaching staff.
Of course, for individuals, they must be more focused on singles, plus there is also a men's doubles distraction, Wang Chuqin will inevitably be affected, and he needs to reasonably distribute his physical fitness and keep it in a more stable state as much as possible.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Manyu is ranked 4th in the world, and there are three people in front of him, and now the national table tennis arranges Wang Manyu and Chen Meng to form a team, continue to trial and error for the competition lineup, release positive signals and harvest good news, after all, the group's first set of doubles is very critical, Sun Yingsha is a single, plus Chen Meng/Wang Manyu is more reasonable, Wang Yidi is the women's doubles champion of the World Table Tennis Championships last year, but this time the coaching staff did not use her.
