According to the previous plan of national table tennis, after the end of the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, the lineup for the Paris Olympics should be announced, according to the Olympic selection points, Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong have locked in two singles qualifications, and the remaining one team qualification will be designated by the coaching staff, originally the outside world generally thought that the team qualification would be obtained by Ma Long, but with Ma Long losing the foreign war for the third time this year, the situation has changed a little. Before the start of the game between Ma Long and Zhang Yuzhen, Liang Jingkun had already lost 2-3 to the Iranian veteran Alamiyan, and Lin Gaoyuan lost 1-3 to the Danish player Grote.

In the first game, Ma Long and Zhang Yuzhen played more cautiously in the opening stage, when the score was 4-4 draw, Ma Long scored 2 points in a row, but Zhang Yuzhen quickly tied up, the two continued to fight to 8-8 draw, and then Zhang Yuzhen scored 2 points in a row, 10-8 to get the game point, Ma Long was not to be outdone, scored 2 points in a row to tie, and then the two fought to 11-11 draw, and then Zhang Yuzhen scored 2 points in a row, winning a game 13-11. In the second game, the two sides were the same as the previous game at the beginning of the game, when the score was 4-4, Zhang Yuzhen suddenly exerted force, Ma Long obviously couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm, Zhang Yuzhen continued to attack successfully, opened the difference, and won another game 11-6. In the third game, the two sides drew 3-3 at the beginning of the game, and then Zhang Yuzhen scored 3 points in a row to lead, Ma Long was forced to call a timeout, the game restarted, Zhang Yuzhen continued to expand the lead, and got the match point 10-7, and then Zhang Yuzhen called a timeout, the game restarted, Zhang Yuzhen ended the game with 11-8, thus defeating Ma Long with a total score of 3-0.

At the same time, with Ma Long out, only Fan Zhendong is left in the second half of the game. So far this season, Ma Long has lost 3 foreign wars, including two losses to South Korean players, and the current situation is very unfavorable for Ma Long, although emotionally speaking, many fans hope that Ma Long can participate in the Paris Olympics and draw a successful end to his career, but Ma Long's state in the past two seasons is indeed getting worse and worse, but Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan also lost foreign wars, and now the biggest beneficiary has become Lin Shidong, so who can participate in the Paris Olympics, let's wait and see.
