At present, the schedule of the Saudi Grand Slam tournament is getting closer and closer, and according to the schedule, the next match will officially start on May 1. At present, there is only one day left before the start of this competition, and for the main forces of national table tennis, they are very much looking forward to achieving good results in this competition.
With this competition coming, I will share with you the three highlights of national table tennis in this event, as well as the revenge battle of Fan Zhendong and Wang Manyu.
First of all, you can see that this time the prize money is very generous, up to 2 million US dollars. In addition to the 1,500 world ranking points, there are also 3,000 Olympic selection points.
In such a situation, for the singles players of national table tennis, who can have the last laugh in this competition, who will undoubtedly have the opportunity to get the singles ticket to the Paris Olympics, especially Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, who can have the last laugh, which is undoubtedly what many fans are looking forward to.
In addition, it can be seen that in the previous three major competitions this year, Fan Zhendong, as the first brother of national table tennis, suffered a series of defeats, two of which were lost to Lin Gaoyuan and Lin Shidong, two teammates, which led to Fan Zhendong being widely questioned recently. This match is an important opportunity for Fan Zhendong to prove himself, whether he can take revenge on defeating Lin Gaoyuan and other teammates, and finally win the world championship is also very concerned by many fans.
In addition, whether Sun Yingsha can continue to maintain an undefeated record and stand on the podium of the world championship this time has also attracted much attention. You must know that since the Tokyo Olympics, Sun Yingsha has almost not maintained an undefeated record in the past few years, whether it is Chen Meng, Wang Manyu or other women's singles players in national table tennis, it is basically difficult to cut her off. Under such circumstances, if Sun Yingsha can become the world champion again after the previous World Cup, the gold medal in the singles of the subsequent Paris Olympics is estimated to fall into her bag, in order to hope that Sun Yingsha will cheer hard in this competition.
Of course, in addition to these three highlights, on the other hand, for the four main players of national table tennis, this game is also a battle of revenge. In addition to the just mentioned Fan Zhendong wants to take revenge on Lin Gaoyuan, on the other hand, Wang Chuqin also wants to take revenge on Ma Long. I still remember that in the previous World Cup game, Wang Chuqin lost 0-4 to Ma Long, and after that game, Wang Chuqin couldn't let go for a long time, and sat on the field in a daze with a towel.
It is estimated that Wang Chuqin himself can't figure out why he has been sweeping Big Brother Malone in the past two years, but he has encountered Waterloo in this game, where is the problem? After going back this time, did Wang Chuqin do a review and seek revenge this time?
In addition, Wang Manyu lost to Sun Yingsha in the previous World Cup final, leaving a very big regret, and she is only one step away from the World Cup championship, so she must have left a very big regret. In this competition, Wang Manyu is naturally looking forward to defeating Sun Yingsha to win the championship. In addition, this competition is also very important for Wang Manyu, that is, to compete for the singles ticket to the Paris Olympics. If Wang Manyu can win the World Championship, this ticket will basically belong to her, so for Wang Manyu, this match is more important than any match.
Of course, for Lin Gaoyuan, he also very much hopes to complete revenge in this competition and defeat Ma Long. All in all, this game is very critical for every main player in national table tennis, and I hope they will work hard.
