On April 18, Beijing time, in the 1/8 finals of the Macao World Cup, 11 people advanced in the group stage of the national table tennis, and only Kuo Man did not qualify for the group, but this did not affect the national table tennis plan to win the gold medals in men's singles and women's singles. However, on today's match day, the national table tennis suffered Waterloo, women's table tennis Wang Yidi lost 1-4 to Japanese player Miwa Zhangmoto, and men's table tennis Liang Jingkun lost to Swedish star Carlberg 3-4. Due to the national table tennis regulations, 3,000 points will be deducted if you lose to players from other associations, so not only Wang Yidi will miss the Olympic Games, but Liang Jingkun will also be out. Liu Guoliang, the head of national table tennis, has already understood in his heart that the candidates for the men's singles Olympic singles event are still Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, only they can really withstand the pressure, and Ma Long is too old.
Wang Yidi lost 1-4 to Zhang Benmeihe, almost all of them fell on the key points, and the opponent's age was only 15 years old, such a result is really unsatisfactory. Wang Yidi is the national table tennis world champion, and the women's singles Olympic points once surpassed Chen Meng to rank third, second only to Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and she will also be deducted 3,000 points due to losing to players from other associations. In fact, even if Li Falcon did not announce Wang Yidi's withdrawal from the Olympic women's singles competition before, she would not be able to get the women's singles quota, after all, 3,000 points will be deducted if she loses a foreign war.
Since entering the Paris Olympic cycle, she has lost a total of 6 times to Japanese players, and she can't beat Hina Hayata, maybe she can still say the past, after all, Hayada is the first sister of the Japanese team, has rich experience in the competition, and many times in the face of national table tennis. But Wang Yidi also lost to Miyu Hirano and Miyu Kihara, and when it comes to the World Cup, he can now lose to Miwa Zhangmoto. I don't know who Wang Yidi will lose to the foreign association next time she will surprise the fans, in short, she needs to adjust herself. In addition to technical defects, Wang Yidi also needs to regain confidence, otherwise he will slowly fall out of the core lineup of the national team.
Women's table tennis Wang Yidi lost to Zhang Benmeihe, men's table tennis Liang Jingkun lost to Carlberg 3-4, this match day also hit the national table tennis hard, and even whether it can win the championship is unknown. Liang Jingkun is very good at playing the big seven and his mental quality is excellent, in the Singapore Grand Slam, Liang Jingkun won the men's singles runner-up, and in the Incheon Championships, he defeated Brazil's Hugo to win the championship. But this time against the Swedish player, Liang Jingkun dropped the chain.
In the first game, Liang Jingkun easily won 11-3, thinking that it would be easy to advance to the top 8, but he didn't expect Carlberg to win three games in a row, leading 3-1, while Liang Jingkun was in a desperate situation. In the fourth and fifth games, Liang Jingkun won 11-8 and 11-9 respectively, which was also quite difficult, and when it came to the deciding game, Carlberg stepped up his attack and won 11-6. Liang Jingkun went out 3-4, which is also one of the few games this year that has lost after a tie-break.
After Wang Yidi and Liang Jingkun lost the foreign war, now the men's singles and women's singles Olympic quotas have gradually become clear. In the women's singles, Sun Yingsha has locked a spot, and whoever has better results in the World Cup between Chen Meng and Wang Manyu will have a good chance to participate in the Olympic women's singles competition. There is no suspense in the men's singles, the two singles places will basically be given to Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin is ranked No. 1 in the world, he is now at the peak, and can be said to be the strongest national table tennis player in terms of comprehensive strength, Fan Zhendong is the 4th World Cup champion and will hit the 5th crown. Although Ma Long is still very brave, he is 36 years old, and there is a high probability that he will not qualify for men's singles and may participate in the team competition.
