Today, the WTT Table Tennis Incheon Championship officially started, and the singles champion can get 1,000 points. The mainland's national table tennis team originally had 8 players participating, but regrettably, the newly appointed world No. 1 Wang Chuqin withdrew from the competition due to adjustments. This not only makes it more difficult for the national table tennis men's singles to win the championship, but also puts Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and other players under more pressure.
You know, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long's form has been up and down this year, losing a few foreign battles, especially Ma Long, who has already lost twice. Although Fan Zhendong narrowly won many games, it also exposed the problem of declining competitiveness. Liang Jingkun's game was also a tough battle, and the advantage was no longer obvious.
On the 27th, CCTV5 and CCTV5+ will broadcast the first round of singles of this tournament live, a total of 5 days of schedule, and about 70% of the matches will be broadcast live. There are two periods of the game, one is 10 o'clock and the other is 18:30 o'clock, CCTV 5+ will broadcast the daytime game, CCTV 5 will broadcast the night game, of course, the final will definitely be live.
At 11:10 this morning, national table tennis player Wang Yidi took the lead in the field, she will face Monaco's star Yang Xiaoxin in the first round of the game, Yang Xiaoxin had a clean sheet in the Taiyuan regular season Chen Xingtong, she used a special rubber, forehand backhand long rubber, the offense is based on bullets, and the style of play is quite fierce.
I hope that Wang Yidi can make full preparations, play his best level, and win a good start for the national table tennis competition. We believe that you will be able to achieve victory and make a good start for the national table tennis team.
For the national table tennis men's team, they are facing huge pressure. Not long ago, they lost three foreign matches in a row in the Singapore Grand Slam, especially Fan Zhendong and Ma Long. The possibility of the two of them participating in the Paris Olympics is still very high, and Liang Jingkun still has a chance. So, they all need to adjust their form and try to do well in this competition.
