On May 7, Beijing time, the national table tennis team was happy and sad at the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and the results were full of drama. Shatou combination Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha won the first game 3-0, while the big head Fan Zhendong, Xiaoshi Lin Shidong, Dream Sister Chen Meng, and Dadi Qian Tianyi all advanced. It is a pity that the big fat Liang Jingkun, Manyu Wang Manyu, Gao Yuan, Lin Gaoyuan, and Dragon Ma Long are out one after another. This series of upsets and counterattacks sparked heated discussions among netizens. Now, let's review what's going on and off the field.
A perfect victory for Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha
The Mixed Doubles pair of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha were known as the "two little ones" and they comfortably defeated India's Desai/Golpard 3-0. Before the game, the two little ones were well prepared for difficulties, and in the face of the strong strength of their opponents, they showed excellent tacit cooperation and exquisite tactics to win the latest match and successfully advance to the semi-finals. The masters Liu Guoliang and Qin Zhijian, as the "old fathers", walked away with a smile on their faces after the interview and relieved.
Wang Manyu's helpless exit
Wang Manyu lost to India's Batra, which broke the hearts of many fans. She looked to have lost her confidence in the match, especially from the second game onwards, when she lost 3-1. After the game, she kissed the racket and a helpless smile appeared on her face. Fans couldn't help but want to cry when they saw this scene, and one netizen wrote: "I hope we can really be relieved! We are all trapped in the shackles of the Paris Olympics, and I hope everyone can break through this shackle and find the best version of themselves." ”
Other national table tennis generals who are out
Not only was Wang Manyu eliminated, but the three male players of national table tennis, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Ma Long, also failed to move forward. Liang was beaten 3-2 by Iran's Noshad Alameyan, Lin Gaoyuan was defeated 1-3 against Germany's Grote, and Ma Long was swept 3-0 by South Korea's Jang Woo-jin. In particular, Ma Long's fiasco caused shock and incomprehension among fans. Zhang Yuzhen's forehand is extremely strong, and her backhand performance is extraordinary, which makes Ma Long, who has just participated in the competition, difficult to parry, and can only accept defeat.
Fan Zhendong's challenge
In the next men's singles 1/16 finals, Fan Zhendong will face South Korea's Ahn Jae-hyun. The player's teammate Zhang Yuzhen's record of a clean sheet against Ma Long stimulated him and gave him the confidence to challenge Fan Zhendong. Fans expect Fan Zhendong to win the game through technical adjustments and tactical strategies and win glory for national table tennis.
Holistic reflection and outlook
The defeat in the Saudi Grand Slam is a wake-up call for national table tennis, allowing fans to see the challenges and pressures that the Chinese team is currently facing. The successive defeats reflect the need for national table tennis to find new breakthroughs in technology and tactics, maintain a stable mentality, and avoid psychological breakdowns. On the other hand, the winning players also need to maintain their confidence and fighting spirit, and use these competitions as practical training for the Paris Olympics to constantly improve their game form.
In any case, the WTT Saudi Arabia Tournament has become an opportunity for deep reflection in national table tennis. Each player should learn from the experience and show their strength in the next matches. Fans should also maintain confidence that the national table tennis can adjust their mentality, strengthen their skills, and be fully prepared for the upcoming Paris Olympics. Let's look forward to the next game of national table tennis!
