Recently, the Incheon Championships has ended, and the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) has announced the latest world rankings in the new week, in which Wang Chuqin is still ranked first in men's singles, and Fan Zhendong is ranked second.
However, what is controversial is that after this world ranking update, Wang Chuqin was temporarily withdrawn from the Incheon Championship before, resulting in him being assigned a valid point of 0 in the latest world ranking. This means that in the following year, he will only have seven valid points in the world ranking, while other athletes can have eight valid points. This punishment is very detrimental to Wang Chuqin's maintenance of the world's No. 1 ranking, and it can be called a fatal blow. Many Wang Chuqin fans were very angry after seeing him being given 0 because of his retirement, not only directly posted an article to bombard Fan Zhendong, but even attacked the national table tennis coaching staff, causing huge controversy.
First of all, some time ago, Wang Chuqin announced on his social media that he would withdraw from the Incheon Championships, saying that he was too tired and consumed too much in the previous champion Incheon Singapore Grand Slam, so he hoped to take a good rest and prepare for the Macau World Cup. Judging from Wang Chuqin's wording, this withdrawal should have been his voluntary announcement. As a result, some fans questioned Wang Chuqin's unexpected withdrawal from the game, in fact, there were not too many injuries in his body at all, and it was likely that it was a temporary instruction from the coaching staff, because they hoped to help Fan Zhendong win the championship in the Incheon game and get higher points.
As a result, Wang Chuqin's fans think that since the coach asked Wang Chuqin to retire, now he has inexplicably let the big head take the blame and be heavily punished by the International Table Tennis Federation, and the points are given 0 and suffer a big loss, these fans naturally don't buy it. On the one hand, they attacked Fan Zhendong as a royal family, thinking that the coaching staff deliberately protected him, but Fan Zhendong did not win the championship in the end, which almost caused the national table tennis men's singles to suffer Waterloo, and now Wang Chuqin is punished is completely tiring and tiring. On the other hand, they even attacked Liu Guoliang and Wang Hao by name, believing that the coaching staff delayed Wang Chuqin and failed his efforts. The coaching staff let Wang Chuqin retire, which led to a very bad impact on the world rankings, which his fans could not tolerate, and they hoped that the coaching staff would give an explanation and make amends.
It can be seen that the impact of the Fu 0 turmoil this time is indeed very great, and Wang Chuqin's fans are not expected to stop there. However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, for the national table tennis coaching staff, Liu Guoliang and Wang Hao's attitudes were very clear for a while, and they did not favor anyone, let alone the problem of the royal family. still remembers that last year, Fan Zhendong withdrew from the team competition and focused on another world championship of national table tennis, which led to the effective points of the world ranking also changed from 8 to 7, and he was assigned 0.
From this point of view, in fact, Wang Chuqin's fans should not attack or even wronged Fan Zhendong, who also suffered losses last year. It can only show that the attitude of the national table tennis coaching staff has always been very clear, and any player who temporarily withdraws from the game will be given 0, and there is no question of favoring anyone. For Wang Chuqin, as long as the hard power is strong enough, he can completely recover this point later.
