The 2024 WTT Singapore Grand Slam came to an end shortly before the Chinese table tennis team reproduced an astonishing feat, winning all five individual titles. This is also the new year of the Chinese table tennis team's second all-inclusive victory after winning the two team championships in Busan. This also further proves the strong strength of the Chinese table tennis team!
Among all the athletes participating in the Chinese table tennis team, Wang Chuqin became the biggest winner in this competition! In the mixed doubles event, he partnered Sun Yingsha to win the championship, and in the men's doubles event, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong lost to Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan to win the runner-up. In the heaviest men's singles event, with Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong out early, Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun met in the final and finally won the championship. Two champions and one runner-up, Wang Chuqin also got a bonus of 480,000 yuan.
On the one hand, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong are now going hand in hand, and at the Paris Olympics, the two of them will take on the heavy responsibility of winning the men's singles championship for the Chinese table tennis team. On the other hand, the veteran Malone should rest assured! Let's be honest, after the Tokyo Olympics, Malone should retire. But because Wang Chuqin has not grown up thoroughly, Ma Long is not at ease if he wants to leave! And now, Wang Chuqin has matured! Wang Chuqin has won the Asian Games and won the Grand Slam again, and Wang Chuqin's performance has become more and more calm! At the men's singles award ceremony of the Singapore Grand Slam, Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, also smiled from ear to ear!
Recently, the International Table Tennis Federation once again officially announced the good news of Wang Chuqin! In the latest five individual rankings, the Chinese table tennis team occupies four firsts, and Wang Chuqin alone has three. In the mixed doubles event, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha continued to lead. In the men's doubles event, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong are still world No. 1. In the men's singles event, Wang Chuqin overtook Fan Zhendong and reached the top again. Seeing that her friend and partner have gained a lot, Sun Yingsha is also happy! On social media, fans have also sent blessings by leaving messages!
Perhaps due to the impact of continuous battles, Wang Chuqin will not participate in the upcoming Incheon Championship. He also made an official announcement through social media! Obviously, Wang Chuqin must be feeling a little tired! After all, the Singapore Grand Slam is a three-sport tournament! This is a huge test for the athletes' body and mind! As fans, we have to understand! I also hope that Wang Chuqin can adjust well and have a better performance in the next games!
In Wang Chuqin's absence, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Liang Jingkun will shoulder the burden of China's men's singles championship! In particular, Fan Zhendong hopes that through the competition, he can adjust his condition and prepare for the next Olympic Games! Keep coming up!
