On the evening of April 21, Beijing time, as the veteran Ma Long opened his arms to celebrate the victory, the ITTF Singles World Cup, which has the largest number of participants in history, officially ended.
0:4 as it shouldn't
In the men's singles semifinals, the veteran Ma Long played against Wang Chuqin, who has gradually become the world's No. 1 ranking, although Ma Long's experience and achievements are unparalleled, but from Chengdu to Hangzhou, and then to Busan, Wang Chuqin has served as the top two singles in the semifinals and finals in the team competitions of several major competitions, and it is natural to see Wang Chuqin's current position in national table tennis.
Although losing to Ma Long is not an upset, but the score of 0:4 really shouldn't be, whether it is hard work or physical reserves, as well as the advanced degree of technology, Wang Chuqin should create a lot of challenges for Ma Long, but such a score is really surprising.
Losing a foreign war that shouldn't be
In the women's singles field, Wang Yidi lost to Zhang Benmeihe, who was less than 16 years old. Last month, the national table tennis has revealed that Wang Yidi lost more players from foreign associations in the Paris Olympics, and is no longer considered for singles in the Olympic Games, but considering that Wang Yidi has also been sitting firmly in the five main forces of the women's team for a long time, it should be a better chance to win against the young Zhang Benmeihe.
Although the defeat did not occur in the semi-finals or finals, considering that the Paris Olympics are less than 100 days away, it is clear that this match will be a morale boost for the Japanese team.
4-2 that shouldn't be
In the women's singles semifinals, Wang Manyu defeated Zhang Benmeihe 4-2, although she won the final game, but from the perspective of an old fan, as the main force of the top three of the national table tennis women's team, it has been difficult to play against the young players of the Japanese team.
Zhang Benmeihe will only turn 16 years old this year, you must know that in 2009 when she participated in the World Table Tennis Championships at home in Japan, the same 16-year-old Ishikawa Kasumi faced an interview with reporters after losing to Zhang Yining: How long does it take to win the Chinese team? Her answer is: 100 years!
A teacher with a little regret
In the men's singles final, Ma Long faced Lin Gaoyuan, and in several important team competitions in the Paris Olympic cycle, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong, who served as the first and second singles players and have long been ranked in the top two in the world, sat in the stands.
Especially after Sun Yingsha and Ma Long won the final championship, fans also sighed: The women's team is already the post-00s to provoke the beam, and the men's team has not passed the post-80s era.
Speaking of which, it is not to find shortcomings in the perfect ending of national table tennis, as an old fan who has loved the Chinese table tennis team for more than 20 years, are you also worried about this kind of life?
