As we all know, the recent Saudi Grand Slam tournament has ended, and Fan Zhendong's performance as the first brother of national table tennis in this event is very bad. In this competition, Fan Zhendong only participated in 1 event, but in the end, he was very sorry to lose to Francesca in the men's singles knockout round and failed to compete for the championship.
After the end of this competition, the national table tennis originally arranged for the main players to participate in the Taiyuan Challenge, but judging from the latest official list, it can be determined that Fan Zhendong completely gave up this competition. In addition to Fan Zhendong's absence, including Ma Long, Wang Chuqin, Lin Gaoyuan, Sun Yingsha, these core aces will participate in this competition. In this way, it is undoubtedly a very bad thing for Fan Zhendong, and when other teammates are trying to participate in the game to maintain their condition, Fan Zhendong has no way to participate in the game because of himself, and he is probably not comfortable.
It is worth mentioning that just recently, in addition to the abandonment of the game to plague Fan Zhendong, he has also recently reported a wrist injury, which is estimated to be a certain blow to his next competition at the end of May.
After the Grand Slam competition, the national table tennis flew back to Beijing from Saudi Arabia overnight. After arriving at the local airport in Beijing, some fans at the scene took a video of Fan Zhendong getting off the plane to take his luggage, and it can be seen from Fan Zhendong's action to take his luggage that Fan Zhendong's wrist injury should be quite serious. First of all, Fan Zhendong didn't dare to use his injured hands to carry heavy luggage, and after moving things, he kept rubbing the place where his wrist hurt with his hands, which looked very uncomfortable.
In addition, looking back on a series of previous competitions this year, it can be found that before the start of the game and after the game, the national table tennis team doctor will treat Fan Zhendong's injuries accordingly. From this point of view, Fan Zhendong's injury problem is estimated to be relatively serious, and it is estimated that it will have a great impact on his next campaign. After all, when he played against Lin Shidong in the last Macau World Cup, Fan Zhendong had an injury to his wrist, and his entire palm was swollen.
After seeing these two details of the airport, many fans are very worried about Fan Zhendong, this time the first brother can not achieve good results in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam competition, and it is likely that his injury has a lot to do with it. Including this Taiyuan Challenge, Fan Zhendong did not participate in the doubles competition, and it is estimated that it was also due to injury and physical problems, and finally the coaching staff chose to let him rest well and prepare for the Chongqing Championship Star Match at the end of the month.
I have to say that this time the national table tennis coaching staff is really afraid of something. At present, the Paris Olympics will start in late July, and for Fan Zhendong, there is only less than two months of rest and adjustment time at most, and the intensity of the next competition will become more and more intense. For Fan Zhendong, he must fight with injuries to meet these tests, but will his wrist injury break out at a critical moment, and he won't even be able to pick up a racket at that time? This is undoubtedly a matter of concern.
But no matter what, now that the injury has arrived, for the national table tennis coaching staff, they can only find a way to help Fan Zhendong recover as soon as possible. After all, the core aces, including Ma Long and Chen Meng, have also been suffering from injuries before, and they all survived in the end. I hope that Fan Zhendong will come on and hope that his body will be a little more energetic, and then he will recover as soon as possible and compete in the follow-up games.
After all, many fans are still expecting Fan Zhendong to fight back at the end of the month and regain the honor that belongs to him. On the other hand, many fans are also looking forward to Fan Zhendong meeting Wang Chuqin at the peak of the next Paris Olympics to compete for the Olympic singles gold medal.
