On April 11, 2024, in the men's singles field of the WTT feeder tournament, a rare drama was staged in the table tennis world, and the four top four seeds in the men's singles collectively suffered a round of tours, which aroused widespread attention and discussion.
In the table tennis arena, Gao Chengrui, Wu Huicheng, Lin Wenzheng, and Salin, the four top-ranked players, have attracted much attention.
They were expected to go one step further in the race, but it was a surprising sight.
It is really surprising that these four players suffered defeats in the first round of 32-16 in the first round.
In 2019, Gao Chengrui performed well in the Asian Table Tennis Junior Championships (Asian Youth Championships) U15 men's team competition, helping the Chinese Taiwan team to win the runner-up, which caused a sensation in the table tennis world.
His outstanding performances have been remarkable, and many table tennis fans are beginning to pay attention to the young player and look forward to more brilliant performances in the future.
In 2022, Gao Chengrui once again emerged at the Asian Youth Championships, winning the runner-up in the U19 men's singles. This result once again proves his quality and potential, and makes people look forward to his future.
In the same year, he shined at the World Junior Table Tennis Championships (World Junior Championships), reaching the semi-finals of the U19 men's team and men's doubles.
This result not only shows his strength in the individual competition, but also proves his value and role in the team competition.
His outstanding performance not only made the Chinese Taiwan team win honors in the international arena, but also made him a rising star in the table tennis world.
On the Internet, many netizens expressed their appreciation and congratulations on Gao Chengrui's achievements.
A netizen said: "Gao Chengrui's performance in the past few years is really amazing, and it is amazing to be able to achieve such results in the international arena at such a young age!"
Another netizen also said: "It seems that the Chinese Taiwan team has another potential player, and I hope he can continue to achieve good results in future competitions." ”
Some netizens also predicted and discussed his future development.
A netizen said: "Gao Chengrui's strength should not be underestimated, I believe he will be able to make a difference in the senior group competition in the future and become an important member of the Chinese Taiwan team." ”
Another netizen also left a message: "I hope he can keep training, keep improving, and become a superstar in the table tennis world in the future." ”
Gao Chengrui and Wu Huicheng are undoubtedly highly anticipated players, and they are known in the table tennis world for their strong strength and skills. This time the game exposed the problem of their inconsistent performance.
Perhaps due to the pressure of the game, or the fact that they were not in the best form in time, they failed to perform at the level they should have in key moments, which led to an unexpected defeat.
In contrast, Lin Wenzheng and Saleen, as Australian players, may have a sense of high expectations in their rankings.
In reality, their strength is not as strong as it appears on the surface.
This defeat also confirmed this to some extent, as they struggled to come out on top against better opponents.
Over the course of the competition, all four players went through a fierce battle, and everyone put in the effort, but the end result was not what they expected.
Perhaps before the game, they were all confidently looking forward to winning and proving their worth to the world.
The reality is cruel, everyone must face failure and accept the frustrations and lessons that come with failure.
This competition also triggered people's in-depth thinking about the strength of table tennis players. Rankings are a measure of strength, but what is more important is the actual performance and ability of the game.
This collective defeat also sounded the alarm bell for people, making everyone realize that in the arena of table tennis, anything can happen, and strength is the final referee.
Analysis of the results of the match shows that the strength of the opponent is a big reason for this rare situation.
For example, top seed Ko Seung-rui lost to Japan's Yutai Tanaka in the match, while Wu also lost badly, but it was the opponent's excellent performance and good quality behind the competition.
This incident sparked a wide range of discussions, and many table tennis enthusiasts left their opinions and comments on social platforms.
A netizen said: "The result of this competition is really unexpected, a few days ago I was still speculating about who of the four seeded players would win the championship, but the result was wiped out all at once." It seems that the ranking is not necessarily reliable, and strength is the last word. ”
Another netizen believed: "In fact, there are early signs of the difference in continental competitions, and there is a gap in the level of competition between different continents."
The collective defeat of the seeded players this time is actually a wake-up call for everyone, and the strength of the players cannot be judged solely by ranking. ”
Another netizen shared his opinion: "I always thought that the seeded players would not be eliminated so easily, but this time it was quite shocking to see them out in a row." Perhaps this is also one of the charms of table tennis, which is always full of uncertainty. ”
At the forum, there was also a heated discussion: "These four players have a certain amount of strength, but it cannot be denied that they did not perform well in this game.
Maybe the opponent is too strong, maybe it's not in good shape, but the result is really surprising. ”
"I think that's the beauty of competitive sports, it's always full of variables. Rankings are important, but what is more important is the form and performance during the game. Another netizen expressed his opinion.
In the future event, the release of the top 16 has triggered people's expectations for the next competition.
Japanese and South Korean players have shown strong competitiveness, while European players have also shown a good level, and in the absence of national table tennis, the chances of foreign association players competing for the championship have greatly increased.
The incident in which the top four seeds in men's singles collectively encountered a round of tours was not only surprising, but also triggered in-depth thinking about the current situation and future development of the table tennis world.
In this era of continuous improvement of competitive level, the future of table tennis competition is full of infinite possibilities, and we look forward to more exciting competitions and more surprises.
