Although the qualification rounds for Slovenian tournaments are not over, the national table tennis has been out of the cold one after another, and Zhou Qihao has fallen on the singles and doubles qualification tournaments one after another, raising concerns about how the national table tennis will cope with the World Table Tennis Championships held at the end of the month. And many fans began to question the unreasonable list of the World Table Tennis Championships, and the defeat of Zhou Qihao alone led to a crisis in the entire men's table tennis.
The list of this World Table Tennis Championships is mainly dominated by mesozoic and new generation players, and veterans have voluntarily withdrawn from the competition of the World Table Tennis Championships list. The coaching staff also explained the reason for letting the young players play, mainly in preparation for the Paris Olympics, after all, Ma Long and Xu Xin are both veterans over 30 years old, and the national table tennis has also reached the time of the replacement of the old and the new. Originally, the Slovenian tournament was to let the singles players of the World Table Tennis Championships practice their hands, but the newly appointed Zhou Qihao gave the coaching staff a headache, and the foreign war results were really poor.
Zhou Qihao is the men's singles champion of the direct race, and often defeats the main players in domestic competitions. In fact, many fans supported him to play in the World Table Tennis Championships, but seeing that this wtt regular season had fallen in the qualifiers one after another, many fans began to not support Zhou Qihao's participation in the World Table Tennis Championships, and even questioned the unreasonable list of the World Table Tennis Championships. The national table tennis coaching staff cannot put the team in crisis for the so-called training of mesozoic players.
Zhou Qihao has exposed his shortcomings in Slovenian competitions, and his outstanding performance in the civil war is because he is familiar with the playing style of his teammates, coupled with no pressure, so he often beats the main players. However, the pressure faced by foreign wars is greater, Zhou Qihao has poor adaptability, does not know how to be flexible, and loses self-confidence after being slightly impacted by the opponent for a few rounds, so that he loses the game. Another player from the qualifiers, Liu Dingshuo, has broken through to the fourth round of qualification and is about to qualify for the main tournament, and Liu Dingshuo has played more steadily than Zhou Qihao.
If you go to the World Table Tennis Championships with such a competitive state, Zhou Qihao must be a burden to the national table tennis. Although it is still too early to say this at this time, if you want to adjust the state of the game in less than a month, Zhou Qihao may not be able to do it. Although the other four singles players Fan Zhendong, Lin Gaoyuan, Liang Jingkun and Wang Chuqin are the main players of national table tennis, the best result of the World Table Tennis Championships is that Fan Zhendong won the second place in 2017. That is to say, the list of this World Table Tennis Championship lacks veterans to press the team, and Ma Long, as the record holder of the world table tennis championships in a row, cannot escort him.
It is good to give young people a chance, but there should be no hole cards, no Ma Long pressure to become a loophole in the national table tennis world table tennis championships, not to mention that Zhou Qihao's performance disappointed everyone. If the list of the World Table Tennis Championships can be determined later, perhaps there will not be too many loopholes in the national table tennis. Now that the International Table Tennis Federation has determined the list of participants in the World Table Tennis Championships, it is not realistic for the national table tennis to temporarily change the list. With the fiasco of the Slovenian tournament, Zhou Qihao needs to reflect in time to avoid a bigger upset at the World Table Tennis Championships.
