The Singapore Table Tennis Singles World Cup is underway, and the Chinese team sent a total of 12 men and women to play.
With the end of the round of 18 qualifiers, the first eliminated player of the Chinese team was also born, she is known as the "successor of Sun Yingsha", the national table tennis player Kuo Man!
It is said that he is a young national table tennis player, but Kuo Man, who was born in 2004, is only 4 years younger, and compared to Japan's Miwa Zhangmoto, Kuo Man is not a young general.
However, due to the pressure of competition within the national table tennis, Kuaiman rarely participates in the World Championships, and the Macau World Cup is also a rare opportunity for Kuaiman to participate in the World Championships.
In the first round, Kuo Man and Tian Zhixi both defeated Hong Jianfang 4:0, as long as Kuo Man defeated Tian Zhixi in the second round, he could advance to the top 16!
\Although Tian Zhixi has more experience in the competition, he does not have much advantage against Kuo Man, and Qiu Yike even appeared in the coach's seat to personally guide his disciples.
I thought it was a stalemate game, but who knew that after the game started, Kuo Man was actually beaten by Tian Zhixi with a score of 4:11 and 6:11 in two consecutive games, and the score was behind!
In the next two games, although Kuo Man must fight for every ball, due to the slow entry into the state, coupled with Tian Zhixi's steady and steady play, even if Kuo Man won the last two games, the big score was rewritten to 2:2, but in the end, he lost to Tian Zhixi with a small score and became the first player to be eliminated by the Chinese team.
In this way, Kuaiman needs to deduct 3,000 points for losing foreign wars, and he will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games, although the impact is not great, but after the end of this battle, Kuaiman may be "abandoned" by the national table tennis.
For this game, many netizens said: Kuo Man has no passion at all, not even as good as Tian Zhixi, this slow and leisurely state is not suitable for singles competitions, if Kuo Man is replaced by Qian Tianyi, I believe there will be no first-round elimination.
As a "talented girl" in national table tennis, Kuo Man has been training in WTT feeder tournaments in recent years, and has won 14 WTT championships, including singles, women's doubles, mixed doubles and so on.
Moreover, Kuo Man has "killed" Sun Yingsha three times in women's singles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles in the 2023 Asian Games and Asian Championships.
Therefore, national table tennis fans believe that when Chen Meng retreats to the second line, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Kuo Man will become the new "Big Three" of national table tennis.
But after this World Cup, many people may question Kuo Man, thinking that Kuo Man cannot support the burden of the main female table tennis players, but give everyone a minute to consider, in addition to the current national table tennis main force, can you think of any better post-00 women's table tennis players?
Kuo Man and Lin Shidong are the "only" reserve forces of the current national table tennis, looking at Kuo Man's achievements in recent years, it is enough to crush all the new generation of players in the world, including Zhang Benmeihe, which is why Kuo Man can replace Qian Tianyi and participate in the Macau World Cup.
The 21-year-old Sun Yingsha has become the absolute main force of the women's table tennis national team, killing all sides in the WTT main event, and won the Olympic singles runner-up for the first time in the Olympic Games.
Now the 20-year-old Kuo Man is still wandering on the edge of the national team, although one or two wins and losses do not mean anything, but we still hope that Kuo Man can grow up as soon as possible and become the absolute main player of national table tennis!
