Match analysis
The Paris Olympics will open in July this year, of which the Olympic Games will set up five table tennis events, namely men's singles, women's singles, men's team, women's team, and mixed doubles. As the number one gold-winning project of the Chinese Legion, the national table tennis shoulders the mission of winning glory for the country and cannot afford to lose.
There are only 3 months left before the Olympic Games, and the national table tennis team is also stepping up preparations. For national table tennis, there are only 3 training competitions before the Olympic Games, namely the ITTF Macau World Cup, the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and the WTT Taiyuan Challenge, and the most important of these is the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam that starts on May 1.
Compared with the singles tournament of the Macau World Cup, the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam not only has two events of men's singles and women's singles, but also three events of men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles, which is completely consistent with the Olympic Games and is the best opportunity for national table tennis to train before the Paris Olympics.
More importantly, the tournament will have a total prize fund of $2 million, with 2,000 ITTF ranking points for singles champions and 2,000 ITTF ranking points for doubles champions.
For the national table tennis players, especially the 13 main national table tennis players competing for the Olympic singles quota, winning the championship can not only get ITTF points, according to the latest Olympic quota selection rules of national table tennis, but also get 3000 internal international competition championship bonus points, which can be counted in the Olympic points, that is to say, winning a championship will get 5000 points.
Take Wang Chuqin as an example, if he wins the men's singles championship, he can get 2000 ITTF points + 3000 championship bonus points, that is, he can get 5000 Olympic points. If Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong win the men's doubles title at the same time, they will get another 5,000 Olympic points. If Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha win the mixed doubles title again, then he can also take another 5,000 Olympic points. In this Grand Slam, a total of 15,000 Olympic points is enough for him to secure the Olympic men's singles quota.
Liang Jingkun currently only has singles events, while Ma Long has both singles and doubles events, and if the two can seize this most precious opportunity to win the title, they will be able to dominate the competition for Olympic places.
For Liang Jingkun, it is not without a chance to squeeze out Fan Zhendong, who has been in poor form recently, thus fulfilling his dream of participating in the Olympic Games for the first time.
For Ma Long, the Olympic Games have won 5 gold medals, and the men's singles has won two consecutive Olympic championships, which is the first person in history without precedent, if he can participate in the men's singles competition at the Paris Olympics again and finally win the championship, then the Olympic singles 3 consecutive records, 20 years is estimated that no one will break it.
The Olympic men's singles will be selected from Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Ma Long, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong 6 people, and the women's singles will be selected from Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi, Kuo Man 7 people, the editor predicts the final quota of the 2024 Paris Olympics national table tennis men's/women's singles:
国乒-男单：王楚钦、梁靖崑
国乒-女单: 孙颖莎、王曼昱
