On October 25, Beijing time, the big list of the Chinese table tennis team of the World Table Tennis Championships was officially announced, since the Table Tennis Super League, fans began to look forward to the announcement of the list, but the absence of the three veterans at the same time still made everyone feel confused, after all, the strength of these players is very outstanding, but since the competition personnel have been decided, then it can not be changed, in terms of women's table tennis, Wang Yidi has entered the list, she will be expected to become Ding Ning's successor.
In this year's National Games, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong led the unpopular Liaoning team to win the championship, and they defeated Wang Manyu's Heilongjiang team, Sun Yingsha's Hebei team and Chen Meng's Shandong team before standing on the highest podium. It can be said that it has been passed through five levels, cut six generals, and played at their best level. In the subsequent Table Tennis Super League, Wang Yidi's player played very well.
As a 24-year-old player, Wang Yidi's development is much slower than Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, if it were not for her excellent performance in the National Games and the Table Tennis Super League, presumably the national table tennis would not have noticed her. And her sharp style of play and never-say-die spirit are very similar to Grand Slam player Ding Ning. Therefore, Wang Yidi is currently also known as Ding Ning's successor, and is expected to achieve very bright results like Ding Ning in the future.
And Wang Yidi's outstanding performance made the national table tennis choose to give up Liu Shiwen, although liu Shiwen herself chose to take the initiative to quit, but as the champion of the 2019 Budapest World Championships, Liu Shiwen regarded this international competition as very important, and there was also news that she withdrew from the Table Tennis Super League to prepare for the World Table Tennis Championships, but she did not qualify for the competition now.
Similarly, Ma Long and Xu Xin did not qualify for the competition, which made the fans somewhat unacceptable, the absence of these three veterans directly led to the four individual champions of the last World Table Tennis Championships all unable to go to the scene, Ma Long is the champion of men's singles and men's doubles, Liu Shiwen is the champion of women's singles and mixed doubles. However, such a decision is also for the future of national table tennis, after all, it is difficult for Ma Long and others to continue to play in the Paris Olympic Games, so they are still looking forward to young players to play their own style.
