The Saudi Arabia Grand Slam has brought too much to everyone, Ma Long and other four main men's table tennis players were eliminated by foreign players, only Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong reached the semifinals after 00, but it is a pity that both are in the upper half of the men's singles, that is to say, only one national table tennis player can enter the finals, at present, Wang Chuqin defeated Lin Shidong to enter the finals, and the two foreign association celebrities in the other semi-finals are also well deserved.
The other semi-final was played by Zhang Yuzhen, the highest-ranked Korean men's table tennis player, against Francesca, the main force of German men's table tennis, Zhang Yuzhen defeated Ma Long 3:0 in the second round of men's singles, and Francesca reversed Fan Zhendong with a big score of 3:2 in the men's singles 1/8 finals, so it is not surprising that the two foreign association names can enter the semifinals in such a state.
Compared with Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong's semifinals, the competition between Francesca and Zhang Yuzhen is even more intense, after seven rounds of hard fighting, Francesca defeated Zhang Yuzhen with a score of 4:3, and advanced to the men's singles final of the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam with difficulty.
In fact, the main player who has defeated the Chinese men's table tennis player the most times in this Olympic cycle is Francesca, who is outside the core of the German men's table tennis, who has defeated Xu Xin and Ma Long once in 22 years, and defeated Ma Long again in this year's Singapore Grand Slam, and this Saudi Arabia Grand Slam reversed Fan Zhendong in the way of letting two chase three, and then in an extremely unfavorable situation.
It can be said that Francesca's competitiveness in Chinese men's table tennis is not sudden in the Saudi Grand Slam, but in the entire Olympic points.
Although it is Wang Chuqin, the world's No. 1 and currently in the best state of national table tennis, who has reached the final this time, in the face of Francesca, who is the biggest threat to Chinese men's table tennis in this Olympic cycle, the coaching staff will consider whether Wang Chuqin can win the championship smoothly and whether the national table tennis can win the five championships of the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam, but this is not only the only issue that the coaching staff should consider.
It can be found that Francesca, who entered the final of the Saudi Grand Slam this time, not only did not enter the core of the German men's table tennis volleyball team, but also did not mention the Olympic men's singles quota and even an Olympic men's team quota, Francesca was not able to compete, and the German table tennis wanted to give the more important P card to other young players, and Francesca, who entered the final of the Saudi Grand Slam this time, undoubtedly made the German table tennis coaching staff deeply regret.
It can be said that the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam German table tennis has recognized Francesca's strength, especially the full competitiveness of the Chinese men's table tennis, and may make the German men's table tennis readjust the quota of the Paris Olympics, especially the men's singles, so Francesca is very likely to get the Olympic men's singles quota, so that the Chinese men's table tennis at the Paris Olympics will also face the competition of the foreign association to improve significantly, and the national table tennis coaching staff should also have a deep understanding of Francis, who was not valued before, before the Paris Olympics.
