On the afternoon of April 14, Beijing time, the group draw results of the 2024 ITTF Macao Singles World Cup were officially released!
Among them, the women's team's direct competitors in the Olympic selection, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, got a completely equal signing, and the two were each assigned an Indian monster rubber player in the group.
The two rookies of national table tennis, Lin Shidong and Kuo Man, are both facing severe tests, and it is extremely difficult for the animation duo to qualify for the group, and I am afraid that they will both overturn.
First, Chen Meng faced Akula and Wang Manyu to usher in Batra, and no one took advantage
Chen Meng is the seed of G4 and welcomed Indian teenager Akula in the group. Akula defeated Wang Yidi in Busan and dragged Wang Manyu into the deciding game at the Singapore Grand Slam, which was very difficult. Moreover, Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong are the only two of the main players of the women's team who have not played against Indian players since 2024, and this encounter is difficult for Da Meng. In particular, Akula is known for being quick to enter the state, which makes it even more difficult to clear Big Dream.
Wang Manyu has won once against Batra in Busan, but Batra has now undergone further variation, narrowly knocking out Hina Hayada at the Incheon Championship, adding a new twist to her granular style of play, and Wang Manyu will have to be vigilant and not be treated with the same old impression.
One person received an Indian strange glue, which leveled the difficulty of competition between the two Dream Fish, and no one took advantage of the lottery, what kind of result was played, reflecting the objective strength.
2. The animation combination is in distress: Lin Shidong has difficulty fighting A. Lebrun, and Kuo Man has the upper hand in front of Tian Zhixi
The two rookies of national table tennis, Lin Shidong and Kuo Man, are both in a less than ideal grouping situation, and qualifying from the group is definitely a huge challenge for anime.
Lin Shidong's group was divided into France's glasses brother A. Lebrun, the impatient king who has been on a menacing start lately, and although he has been losing all against the national table tennis this year, he has played a major threat in every game. Lin Shidong's record this year is to win Fan Zhendong once in the Singapore Grand Slam, and he has played few foreign battles and has no outstanding works, so it is extremely difficult for him to pass the big cloth.
Kuo Man is in a group with Tian Zhixi and Hong Jianfang, which is also difficult and dangerous for her. Although Hong Jianfang is older, she and Ni Xialian have a special style of play, and Kuo Man was just cleaned up by Grandma Ni in January, which was also her last singles match. And Tian Zhixi, the seeded player in this group, is even more difficult for Kuo Man. Tian Zhixi defeated Misei Ito in Incheon, and he also fought with Wang Manyu, and his current state is very stable.
3. The remaining three players of the women's team have all received escort cards, and the five members of the men's team can go straight to the top 16
Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong of the women's team all got the group results that were about equal to the escort.
Sun Yingsha's opponents in the same group, Chen Siyu and Zhu Chengzhu, are all compatriots, and there is no complication at all.
Wang Yidi's opponents in the same group, Shan Xiaona and Du Kaiqin, are also Chinese, and there is no strangeness.
Chen Xingtong's opponents are Palanan and Liu Xinyin, both of whom are Asian acquaintances and have brushed the old question type N times.
The five main players of the men's team, Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan, collectively faced a smooth road, none of their group opponents had a major threat, and straight to the top 16 is the prospect that the five tigers of the men's team can see through at a glance. The suspense and tension of the national table tennis men's team lies in who can win the championship between the big head and the little fat, and this is the highlight.
