The Saudi Arabian Table Tennis Grand Slam has come to an end, and the Chinese table tennis team has reproduced an amazing feat. In all five individual events, the Chinese table tennis team won the championship. The Chinese table tennis team has continued the inheritance of this year's championship, which is gratifying!
The champion of the men's singles event is Wang Chuqin, the champion of the women's singles event is Olympic champion Chen Meng, the men's doubles champion is Wang Chuqin and veteran Ma Long, and the mixed doubles champion is Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin! Among them, Wang Chuqin became the biggest winner, winning three titles, and he also became the first athlete in WTT history to win three titles in one event. And Chen Meng won two championships, especially the women's singles final defeated Sun Yingsha, who had never been defeated in the past two years, plus the three main forces of the main rival Japanese women's table tennis in a row, which also laid the foundation for the final championship.
After the Saudi Arabian Table Tennis Grand Slam, ITTF President Ms. Green was full of praise for the performance of the Chinese table tennis team. She said that the Chinese table tennis team can achieve such results because the Chinese table tennis team can't afford to lose! Ms. Green's statement is very reasonable! Because the Chinese table tennis team can't afford to lose, after Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, and Wang Manyu were knocked out of the game in an upset, the atmosphere within the national table tennis was obviously much more tense. The athletes who weren't eliminated and the coaching staff were very serious. Chen Meng said in an interview that the coaching staff would study tactics until the early hours of the morning. In an extremely difficult and passive situation, the Chinese table tennis team has proved that it is a team that can fight tough battles! Congratulations to the Chinese table tennis team for achieving more brilliance!
After the Saudi Arabian Table Tennis Grand Slam, the world rankings of each individual event will usher in a big change! The most obvious of these will be the singles rankings. In the men's singles event, Wang Chuqin must be ranked No. 1 in the world when he wins the championship, far ahead. Malone will return to second place in the world. Although he stopped in the round of 16, the points from Macau's World Cup victory are valid. Liang will be ranked third after winning the men's singles title at the Incheon Championships. Surprisingly, Fan Zhendong will be fourth with 3,403 points because of the previous points that will be deducted, and for nearly 300 days, Fan Zhendong has not won the championship. Lin Gaoyuan will come to seventh, and the teenager Lin Shidong will come to the tenth in the world by virtue of the points of entering the semi-finals this time!
In the women's singles event, although she did not win the championship, Sun Yingsha is still ranked first in the world, Chen Meng will overtake Wang Manyu to second with the championship points of this station, Wang Manyu will rank third, and Wang Yidi will be fourth. Japan's Hina Hayada will continue to finish fifth.
The current rankings are about to be released, and the list of Chinese table tennis team for the Olympics is basically determined. Previously, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced that Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin would compete in the men's singles event, and now Ma Long will participate in the men's team competition. In the women's singles event, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng will play, and Wang Manyu will participate in the women's team showdown.
