Table tennis reported on May 2:
The WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam celebrates its second qualifying day today. According to the plan, the qualifying round will be played for a total of 3 days, and all of them will be played tomorrow, starting from May 4 to enter the main competition, and ending the game on May 11.
The World Table Tennis Federation is scheduled to hold the draw ceremony for the main match at 22:00 tonight, and four players, including Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Assal, and Takahashi Bruna, will attend as player representatives.
It can be seen that the draw lineup this time belongs to the double world No. 1 blessing, assisted by 2 players from other associations. Some fans and friends ridiculed: It would be nice if Omar Asal was replaced by Hugo!
The draw for the main draw is a very important thing, there are many doubts that will end with the results of the draw, and the game will enter a critical stage!
As an ordinary fan, I personally pay attention to these few signing points.
First, mixed doubles, men's doubles and women's doubles are drawn casually, and I think the national table tennis still has a big advantage.
Second, in men's singles, as the top and No. 2 seeds, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong must occupy the positions in the upper half and the bottom half, so what positions will Ma Long and Liang Jingkun draw, who are the potential opponents in the semifinals, and who will meet Zhang Benzhi and the masters of the Foreign Association?
As for Ma Long, the men's singles championship in the Macau World Cup has made many fans and friends see the hope of fighting for the Olympic Games in singles.
Third, in women's singles, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are the top 2 seeds and will guard the upper and lower halves. So, as the singles champion of the Olympic Games, will Chen Meng be drawn to the top half or the bottom half? In a sense, if Chen Meng reaches the semi-finals, it will inevitably cause great pressure on another teammate in the same district, and the other teammate will have a certain advantage in the final.
In addition, the many masters of Japan and South Korea, which player of the national table tennis will be drawn?
Finally, I also pay attention to who will win the women's singles championship in this competition, whether Wang Manyu can beat a group of masters and win the singles qualification for the Olympic Games, and whether Sun Yingsha will continue to perform strongly and continue to reach the top.
