Wang Chuqin and 3 events, Sun Yingsha won the championship, and Wang Manyu and Chen Meng competed for Olympic qualifications. The 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam is about to kick off, and the national table tennis has now arrived in Saudi Arabia.
In this competition, a total of 12 people participated in the national table tennis, and the men's team had 6 people who were Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong, among which Wang Chuqin and Ma Long also had to partner in the men's doubles; Judging from the photos on the spot, all the members of the national table tennis are very relaxed, Fan Zhendong, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and other main players are wearing masks, according to the schedule, the first three days are the qualifying tournaments, the national table tennis players do not need to participate, from the fourth day is the main competition, when all the national table tennis will play, and the draw ceremony of the main competition will be carried out after the end of the second match day, and the national table tennis should send representatives to participate in the draw ceremony.
This time, Wang Chuqin is a three-person player, and he is the player with the most events in the national table tennis team, and he is partnered with Ma Long in the men's doubles, which is a little intriguing, because judging from the current Olympic selection points, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong have actually locked the Olympic singles qualification, and Ma Long can only strive for the qualification of the team competition, and now Wang Chuqin is partnered with Ma Long, it seems that the coaching staff is already making deployments. In addition, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha is currently ranked first in the mixed doubles world rankings, if nothing else, this will be the mixed doubles combination of the national table tennis to participate in the Paris Olympics, which shows that Wang Chuqin is still under great pressure, and I hope he can adjust his mentality.
There is also the competition between Chen Meng and Wang Manyu has also attracted everyone's attention, at present, Sun Yingsha is at the top of the Olympic selection standings with 27650 points, and has locked an Olympic singles qualification, Wang Manyu is currently ranked second with 14865 points, Chen Meng is ranked third with 13310 points, the difference between the two points is not large, the next Saudi Arabian Grand Slam will decide the fate of the two, the singles champion will get 2000 world ranking points and 3000 bonus points, which is equivalent to a total of 5000 points, so Chen Meng and Wang Manyu who can win the championship, who will get another Olympic singles qualification, but Sun Yingsha must be running for the championship, and it is difficult to say whether Chen Meng and Wang Manyu can reach the finals, but one thing is certain, that is, Chen Meng cannot be out in front of Wang Manyu, so Chen Meng's pressure will be greater.
