In the men's doubles final of the just-concluded WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, China's Ma Long/Wang Chuqin defeated Japan's Hayasuke Togami/Shinozuka Daito 3-0 to win the championship. This is the second time that the Chinese table tennis team has won the gold medal in this Grand Slam event after Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha won the mixed doubles championship last night, showing strong strength and good competitive condition.
Ma Long and Wang Chuqin cooperated tacitly in this game and played well. In the face of the stubborn resistance of the Japanese pair, the two responded calmly, seized the opportunity at the crucial points, and finally won the championship with three consecutive wins 11-6, 11-8 and 11-7.
Wang Chuqin can be said to be the biggest winner of this Grand Slam. Last night, he won the mixed doubles championship with Sun Yingsha, and today he won the men's doubles gold medal with Ma Long, showing all-round skills and excellent psychological quality. As a representative of the new generation of post-95 forces, Wang Chuqin is gradually growing into the mainstay of the Chinese table tennis team.
As a "regular" of the Grand Slam, Ma Long once again showed a super-first-class competitive level. In this competition, he performed well in both singles and doubles, once again proving his strength as a world-class player. Ma Long's experience and stable performance are an important guarantee for the Chinese team to achieve great results in major competitions.
The Chinese table tennis team performed well in the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, winning in many events such as men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, and mixed doubles, once again consolidating its status as the "Kingdom of Table Tennis". In the face of fierce competition from all walks of life in the world, the spirit of the Chinese army in defying strong enemies and facing difficulties is admirable.
Looking forward to the future, the Chinese table tennis team has a long way to go. While inheriting the fine tradition, it is necessary to cultivate more new generation forces like Wang Chuqin to provide a steady stream of power for the sustainable development of national table tennis. I believe that with the joint efforts of the coaching staff and all the players, the Chinese table tennis team will be able to create brilliance and continue to write legends in major events such as the Paris Olympics. Let's cheer for the national table tennis players and praise their hard work! Chinese table tennis, come on!
