The ITTF Singles World Cup is about to kick off on April 15 in Macao! This is also the first time in four years since the 2020 Weihai World Cup that this traditional international event has been restarted!
The World Cup was once as famous as the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic Games, and was known as the world's three major tournaments.
The World Cup used to be held every year, but for well-known reasons, the World Cup has been suspended for four years!
In the history of national table tennis, there have been many singles championships in the World Cup, so let's take a look at those athletes who have won the World Cup singles championships!
First: the athlete with the most wins.
Liu Shiwen is the athlete who has won the most singles championships in the history of the World Cup, and she has won the World Cup singles championship five times in 2009, 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2019!
But it is a pity that although Liu Shiwen has won five World Cup singles championships, she has not qualified for the Olympic Games in singles.
24-hour live ➕ replay: give everyone Amway a good place to watch the game!
Second: the athlete with the highest winning percentage.
In the history of the World Cup, Liu Shiwen is the athlete who has won the most championships, but the highest winning rate is not Liu Shiwen, but Ding Ning.
Ding Ning has participated in the World Cup three times in 2011, 2014 and 2018, winning three times with a 100% winning rate.
In addition, Guo Yan won the championship twice in the competition twice, and Chen Meng also successfully won the championship once in the competition, with a winning rate of 100%.
Third: There are three people who have won the World Cup singles title four times.
In the history of national table tennis, there have been three people who have won the World Cup singles championship four times, they are Wang Nan, Zhang Yining and Fan Zhendong.
And Fan Zhendong is also the athlete who has won the most World Cup singles championships among active athletes!
This year's Macau World Cup, #的#, is also expected to hit the World Cup five crowns!
Fourth: Malone has participated in the World Cup eight times and won only two championships!
Ma Long's achievements can be said to be unprecedented, completing the great feat of a double-lap Grand Slam!
But in the World Cup, Ma Long was not too successful! Ma Long had participated in the World Cup eight times before, but only won two championships!
What's even more surprising is that in these eight World Cup games, Ma Long has lost five foreign wars, losing to Bol twice, Samsonov once, Zhang Benzhihe once, and Lin Yunru once!
Fifth: Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin hit the first World Cup singles championship.
In this year's World Cup, due to the large number of participants, the difficulty of winning the championship is not below the World Table Tennis Championships Olympic Games at all!
For Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, both of them are the top seeds in this tournament and are also regarded as the biggest favorites to win the championship!
Can Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin win the World Cup singles championship for the first time? Let's wait and see!
