For the women's singles, the result of the match is actually the same as table tennis fans guessed.
Sun Yingsha, as the world's No. 1 female forehand, is recognized as the No. 1 in the national table tennis women's team in terms of comprehensive strength. Whether it is the delicacy of the first three boards or the level of tension in the holding section, it is the existence of the external association and teammates who are frightened.
Up to now, Sun Yingsha has been ranked first in the world for one consecutive year, and all of the eight effective points are champions.
And she herself is also known as the "Little Demon King", and many people think that Sun Yingsha is a female table tennis player who can go down in history after the "Big Demon King" Zhang Yining.
On the field is a firm and confident shark who kills decisively, and the little girl off the field is round and white, cute and beautiful like a glutinous rice dumpling.
Such a contrast has made Sun Yingsha liked and supported by many people, and she has become a well-deserved super star in today's sports world.
Although in the women's singles final of the Macau World Cup, she let 2 chase 4, and finally narrowly defeated teammate Wang Manyu. But in terms of the overall technical and tactical system and mentality, Sun Yingsha's level is far superior to Wang Manyu.
Therefore, as early as before the game, many people predicted that even if she played against the wind, Sun Yingsha would be able to win the game.
However, the results of the men's singles were jaw-dropping to the public, and the veteran Ma Long overcame all the obstacles and won the championship even after the current national table tennis main forces.
However, some people believe that his behavior in the men's singles semifinals with the favorite Wang Chuqin may cause the construction of a new echelon of national table tennis to encounter risks.
Ma Long, born in 1988, is a legend in table tennis, a double Grand Slam and Super Grand Slam winner. Today, looking at the entire table tennis world, no one's achievements can surpass Ma Long.
The 36-year-old veteran, how to update the internal generation of Ren Guoping, is not moving.
In the early days, Wang Hao, Ma Lin and others, who participated in the London Olympics with Ma Long, retired one after another after the Olympic Games, and now have become the coaches of the national table tennis men's and women's teams, but Ma Long's peak period has just begun after the London Olympics.
Then, during the 2015-2016 Rio Olympics, table tennis gradually became more popular with the public, so the main force of national table tennis at that time, Ma Long, Zhang Jike, and Xu Xin also attracted much attention.
Three young and handsome young men dominated the table tennis world, and the fanaticism of its fans at that time was no less than that of the entertainment industry. Therefore, fans also call the Rio Olympics period the most prosperous period of the three musketeers of national table tennis.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Jike retired due to illness, and Xu Xin also reduced the competition and gradually went into the background.
Therefore, the main force of a new generation of national table tennis came into being, and it rose with the trend: the left-handed miracle Wang Chuqin, and the bronze wall and iron wall Fan Zhendong.
Just when many people speculated whether Ma Long would retire from the event, Ma Long once again proved his identity as an evergreen national table tennis tree with his actions.
However, during the Paris Olympics, Ma Long lost several foreign wars, especially after entering 2023, his strength and physical strength gradually declined. Many people lamented that "the Dragons are really old". Therefore, Ma Long's victory in this World Cup is really surprising.
Especially in the semi-finals with teammate Wang Chuqin, his outstanding performance was even more jaw-dropping.
Since 2023, national table tennis player Wang Chuqin has made rapid progress and won the championship in international competitions such as the WTT Commercial Tournament and the Asian Games many times. In April 2024, Wang Chuqin rose to first place in the world and Olympic rankings, and surpassed Fan Zhendong in second place. Wang Chuqin's style of play is fierce, and his technical and tactical system is comprehensive, whether it is the first three boards or the competition in the holding section, he has beaten the invincible opponents all over the world in the past year.
Therefore, its loss to Big Brother Malone in this World Cup is indeed an unexpected result.
Friends who often play can see that Ma Long has adopted a new technical and tactical system in this game against Wang Chuqin, whether it is a change in the landing point or a large angle, he can score smoothly, on the other hand, Wang Chuqin has no good way to restrain Ma Long.
In this regard, many netizens expressed doubts, did Ma Long obviously defeat Wang Chuqin this time in order to compete for the men's singles seat in Paris?
The new main force Fan Zhendong has been in a slump recently, and Wang Chuqin has also lost the World Cup championship due to Ma Long's skills and tactics.
In this regard, the editor would like to say that whether it is a big head or a small fat, they actually have the world's top table tennis strength. As the main young force, they can only successfully take over the banner of the national table tennis men's team if they can withstand the test of veterans and the impact of young players.
