The ten main players of the national table tennis participating in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam are nervous, because the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam is not only a major tournament with 2000 championship points, but also the last Olympic trial of national table tennis, but in fact, maintaining a normal heart is the most important thing to do, because the current situation of competition for places in the Paris Olympics has basically stabilized, and the list of national table tennis Olympic participants has been basically determined.
The mixed doubles quota of the Paris Olympics Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha's Shatou combination, whether it is the comprehensive results of this Olympic cycle or the Olympic points, there is definitely no one in the national table tennis who can compete with the Shatou combination for the mixed doubles quota, and in the men's table tennis, Wang Chuqin ranks first with 22425 Olympic points, Fan Zhendong follows with 17678 points to rank second, and Ma Long is also 3rd with 14535 points.
Liang Jingkun, who ranks fourth in the men's table tennis Olympic points, only has 9080 points, and it can be said that it is very likely that Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, and Ma Long will be selected for the Olympic list, and the three main men's table tennis players have a big difference in their Olympic points from each other, so as long as the three main men's table tennis players can maintain a normal heart and have a normal performance in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, then Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong will get the Olympic singles quota, and Ma Long will compete for a men's team quota.
However, there is still a suspense in the competition for the Olympic quota of the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam national table tennis, this suspense is the competition for the Olympic women's singles quota, Sun Yingsha ranks first with 27650 Olympic points, which is almost locked in the women's singles quota for the Paris Olympics, and Chen Meng and Wang Manyu's Olympic points are also significantly ahead of other teammates, but the gap between the two is not big.
The biggest question about the competition for the second women's singles quota in the Paris Olympics is whether Chen Meng can seize the last opportunity of the Saudi Grand Slam and surpass Wang Manyu's Olympic points to get the women's singles quota, otherwise it is the current competition for the Olympic quota of national table tennis, and there may be no change in the Saudi Grand Slam.
In fact, Wang Manyu is currently ranked second in women's table tennis with 14865 points, and Chen Meng is only ranked third with 13310 points, but there is a gap of no less than 1500 points with Wang Manyu.
What's more important is what the final results of the two main women's table tennis players in the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam, Chen Meng has to win the championship to ensure that he overtakes Wang Manyu's Olympic points, if Chen Meng is to achieve the women's singles semifinals, it must be established in the case of Wang Manyu's first-round exit, so that he can also surpass Wang Manyu in the Olympic points, in short, the 1500 Olympic points gap makes Chen Meng under great pressure in the Saudi Grand Slam.
In particular, Wang Manyu is less likely to be out of the first round than Chen Meng, and in the past year, Wang Manyu has been one of the best in terms of foreign performance and competition with his teammates at the main level, so it can be said that in fact, the competition for the second women's singles place in the Paris Olympics is just a certain suspense compared to other mixed doubles and men's singles competitions.
