3-1! The national table tennis lost the first game, Wang Yidi was pushed to the forefront again, and basically missed the Paris Olympics

On April 15, Beijing time, at the 2024 Macau ITTF Men's and Women's World Cups, after the national table tennis played four consecutive 4-0s, it finally lost the first game, Wang Yidi defeated Du Kaiqin 3-1, although he won his debut, Wang Yidi was pushed to the forefront again. In the eyes of many fans, Wang Yidi is still not stable enough, and it is difficult for her to get an Olympic team quota after Li Falcon announced that Wang Yidi will not be eligible for the Olympic singles quota.

The World Cup has been officially expanded, and a new format has been adopted, and in the first group stage, seeded players must strive to win both games if they want to advance. From the perspective of the format, not only is every win important, but every game is important, and you have to fight for a clean sheet against your opponent, even if you can play 11-0 or not 11-1, this is the attraction of the new format. A total of 12 national table tennis players have the opportunity to participate in this World Cup, and the goal of the first stage is to win the first place in the group and advance to the second stage of the knockout round.

Chen Meng, who was the first to debut, played 4-0, and then Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Lin Shidong also won 4-0, and it can be said that the national table tennis is like a bamboo. Subsequently, Wang Yidi appeared on the court against Hong Kong, China's famous player Du Kaiqin, Wang Yidi won a game 11-4, but lost 8-11 in the second game, which is not only the first game lost by Wang Yidi, but also the first game lost by national table tennis in this World Cup. Although Wang Yidi finally won 3-1, it still sparked heated discussions.

Previously, head coach Li Falcon had announced that Wang Yidi would miss the women's singles seat in the Paris Olympics in advance because of losing many important foreign battles. Before the start of the World Cup, the Chinese Table Tennis Association also reissued the Olympic selection mechanism for the women's team, and in this case, Wang Yidi became the first player to lose the national table tennis game, and the impression score was greatly reduced. In the case of missing the Olympic women's singles, Wang Yidi may also find it difficult to get a quota for the Olympic women's team, and basically miss the Paris Olympics.

Of course, Wang Yidi's opponent Du Kaiqin is also very strong and experienced, no matter who beats her, it may be difficult to keep a clean sheet, it can only be said that Wang Yidi's luck is also very average, but no matter what, Wang Yidi still won the first game, laying the foundation for the group to qualify, and not losing the foreign war should be the basic goal. In fact, Wang Yidi should have unloaded his burden a long time ago, just as if he had missed the Paris Olympics, it was enough to prove his strength with all his might.

So far, the national table tennis has won 5 consecutive victories, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Wang Chuqin will also appear on the first match day, hoping that the national table tennis will win all on the first day!
