4 Olympic champions qualified for the Asian Games in singles! Wang Manyu regretted that he had lost the election, and Ma Long was afraid that he would retire. The 2022 WTT Singapore Grand Slam has come to an end, the national table tennis has won 5 championships and 2 asian championships, while four Olympic champions have won the singles qualification of the Hangzhou Asian Games, namely Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, although Wang Manyu reached the women's singles final, but she lost to Chen Meng and failed to win the championship, so Sun Yingsha won the Asian Games singles qualification with the world ranking to pressure Wang Manyu, and Wang Manyu regrettably failed.
There were only two matches on the last matchday, namely the women's singles final and the men's singles final, the first was the women's singles final, Chen Meng played against Wang Manyu, the two fought for 7 innings, and finally Chen Meng won 4-3 to win the first Grand Slam women's singles championship. According to the hangzhou Asian Games selection method previously announced by the Chinese Table Tennis Association, Chen Meng will go straight to the Hangzhou Asian Games, but at the same time, because Chen Meng will return to the world's first place, Sun Yingsha, who ranked second, will also be qualified for the Asian Games singles, which is a pity for Wang Manyu. Originally, when Wang Manyu defeated Sun Yingsha, many people thought that Wang Manyu would get the Asian Games singles qualification, because Wang Manyu had previously defeated Chen Meng for 3 consecutive times, and this time the two fought again, and the outside world was also generally optimistic about Wang Manyu winning, as long as Wang Manyu won the championship, then Sun Yingsha would not be eligible for the Asian Games singles qualification, but this time Wang Manyu failed to seize the opportunity to let Chen Meng complete his revenge, and also had no chance to go straight to the Hangzhou Asian Games.
In fact, before the men's singles final began, there was no suspense in the Asian Games singles qualification, because Fan Zhendong was at the top of the list, even if he could not win the championship, he could also qualify for the Asian Games singles by virtue of the world ranking. 33-year-old veteran Ma Long ranked second in the world, more than 1,000 points ahead of Liang Jingkun, and Liang Jingkun also lost to Ma Long in the semi-finals, so Liang Jingkun could only get 700 points, so that Ma Long actually locked in the Asian Games singles qualification, and finally Fan Zhendong won the championship 4-3, scoring 2000 points, Ma Long scored 1400 points, both of them were far ahead of other national table tennis players, according to the regulations, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long will work together to get straight to the Hangzhou Asian Games.
But now there is still a suspense, that is, whether Malone will participate in the Hangzhou Asian Games, from the past situation, the national table tennis will send a lot of young players to participate in the Asian Games, and veterans like Ma Long, who have achieved fame, will basically give up the Asian Games, plus Ma Long has withdrawn from the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and the WTT World Cup Finals in a row, so Ma Long may also withdraw from the Hangzhou Asian Games, for the 33-year-old Ma Long, he still has no need to participate in the Asian Games, and it is really a good consideration.
