On April 14, the results of the men's singles group draw for the Macau World Cup were released, and the six main forces of national table tennis will play. Judging from the grouping situation that has been announced, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, and Ma Long are relatively stable, and there is not much pressure to advance. The competition system is special, which is the biggest test for Liang Jingkun. Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong encountered a strong enemy, and it was difficult to fight.
【Group 1】Wang Chuqin, Kirill Glasmenko, Ahn Jae-hyun
After the truce of the Incheon race, Wang Chuqin made a comeback in the World Cup, and this competition is bound to be for the championship. The most difficult opponent in the group stage should be South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun, who is more familiar with each other. As long as he plays more focused, Wang Chuqin will not encounter great challenges.
【Group 2】樊振东、黄镇廷、贝内迪克特·杜达
Fan Zhendong's recent form has not been good, losing to Lin Shidong in Singapore and losing to Hugo in Incheon. In this World Cup, whether Fan Zhendong can complete the rebound is something that needs to be paid attention to. Huang Zhenting drew Fan Zhendong again, and the gap in strength is still relatively large. Duda's fighting ability is good, and Fan Zhendong needs to focus on preparing for the battle and cannot underestimate the enemy.
【Group 3】Liang Jingkun, Christian Carlsen, Lin Wenzheng
Singapore runner-up, Incheon champion, Liang Jingkun's recent form is very good, this World Cup can be expected. The group stage event is special, which is a relatively big test for Liang Jingkun, and it needs to be paid attention to. The group stage of this tournament adopts a four-game system, and each game needs to play four games, that is, 2-2, 4-0, 3-1 and other scores. Although Liang Jingkun has performed well recently, his performance in the game has been relatively slow, and he has staged many big reversals, and the winner was not determined until the decisive game. With a very fast pace, it would be very dangerous for Liang Jingkun to heat up slowly.
【Group 4】马龙、李元璋、阿迪亚·萨琳
Ma Long's two opponents are relatively unfamiliar, but they are not strong. For the experienced Malone, the pressure is not great. Prepare well and play to the advantage of experience, which is enough to suppress the opponent.
【Group 6】林高远、庄智渊、托米斯拉夫·普卡
This World Cup is an opportunity for Lin Gaoyuan, and it may be the last chance of his career. Chinese Taipei veteran Zhuang Zhiyuan's strength is relatively strong, and Lin Gaoyuan cannot be underestimated. The key to victory or defeat depends on Lin Gaoyuan's mentality and whether he can adjust his state. Play normally, play a fast and changeable advantage, and there will be no suspense in this game. Otherwise, this group stage will also be difficult to play.
【Group 13】林诗栋、艾利克斯·勒布伦、阿尔贝托·米诺
Teenager Lin Shidong participated in the competition for the first time, which was a test for him. In the face of strong opponents and unfamiliar opponents, you can expect his performance. A Lebrun in the same group is a more difficult opponent to beat, and the opponent has a very good mentality. However, A. Lebrun is no stranger to his style of play. Lin Shidong must adjust his mentality and stabilize his performance. You need to be more flexible, and sometimes impact alone won't work, and these are also things that you have to learn along the way.
The men's singles field has always been unpopular, and the variables of the game are relatively large, and the six players participating in the national table tennis must be prepared for difficulties. Adjusting the mentality is the most basic, especially the need to pay attention to the particularity of the competition system.
