Although it has been two or three days since the men's singles final of the WTT Finals, this topic is still being talked about. To be honest, before the game, Xiaobian Xinxi thought that Fan Zhendong would lose, but he didn't expect it to be a 0-4 score. thought that the chubby Fan Zhendong might lose, it was because he felt that the big-headed Wang Chuqin made rapid progress last year, especially in the second half of the year. In addition to winning the men's singles championship at the Macau Championship in the first half of the year, he also won the men's singles championship in the Asian Games and the Lanzhou Star Challenge, and these two wins were Fan Zhendong and Ma Long respectively.
I feel that the chubby Fan Zhendong is a little unlucky. The Tokyo Olympics was supposed to have the best chance to defeat Ma Long, but lost 2-4. This year, it is no surprise that the chubby Fan Zhendong will still appear on the big stage of the Paris Olympics with Wang Chuqin and Ma Long, and there is a high probability that he will get the singles quota with Wang Chuqin, but if Wang Chuqin has been improving so fast and Fan Zhendong does not make changes, it is estimated that it will be difficult to defeat Wang Chuqin.
In the 2017 World Championships and the 2021 Olympic Games, Fan Zhendong lost to Ma Long in the singles final twice, and felt that it was a pity to lose. If Wang Chuqin can't win at the Paris Olympics, I feel that the chances of Fan Zhendong winning the Olympic singles championship will become more and more slim, and he will not be able to achieve his dream of a Grand Slam. After all, not everyone can get older and more demonic like Ma Long. The 28-year-old Ma Long defeated Zhang Jike to become a Grand Slam, can Fan Zhendong maintain his dominance for so long like Ma Long?
If you review the men's singles finals of the finals, it is not difficult to find that Xiaopang Fan Zhendong's skills may really not be as advanced as Wang Chuqin. In the first and fourth games, Fan Zhendong was tied by Wang Chuqin and overtook the score under the lead in the middle game, and finally lost. Especially in the first game, Fan Zhendong was chased by Wang Chuqin with a 7-5 lead in the middle game, and overtook the score by Wang Chuqin for 5 points and 10-7, and finally lost 8-11. In the second game, Wang Chuqin started 6-1 dreamily, although Fan Zhendong was 4-9 behind in the final game, and he also chased 9-9, but it was a pity that Wang Chuqin handled the key ball very well and lost 9-11 again.
In the third game, Wang Chuqin won again in the handling of the key ball, and Fan Zhendong lost another game by two points 12-14. In the fourth game, I felt that Fan Zhendong was a little absent-minded, leading 4-1 at the beginning, and was tied by Wang Chuqin in the middle game and overtook the score 9-6, he didn't even call a timeout, and lost the fourth game 7-11. In this way, Wang Chuqin 4-0 world No. 1 Fan Zhendong makes people a little unbelievable. The score is so disparity.
Later, when the reporter asked Wang Chuqin how he watched this game, Wang Chuqin replied that he didn't expect 4-0 at all, and felt that he might lose with such a score. also admitted frankly that there is no pressure or baggage to fight with Dong Ge, the pressure is on him, after all, he is the strongest No. 1 in the Chinese team and the best player in the world at present. When I played with him, I came and went to play with a fighting mentality and a challenging attitude. Wang Chuqin said that he felt that the release and transfer on the field were well done.
The reporter also asked Wang Chuqin where he felt he had played well in terms of technique and tactics? Wang Chuqin said that he felt that he was more patient, because the two sides had more rounds, and it was difficult to penetrate the opponent in the first three boards or in the holding section, and it was more patient and decisive than who was more patient and landed.
Wang Chuqin also admitted that he has improved to a certain extent in more than a year, both in terms of results and his feeling for the ball. I was still excited to win the first race of the new year.
It is not difficult to see from Wang Chuqin's summary that Fan Zhendong's loss is not only less changed in terms of technology, such as serving, but also has a lot to do with his mentality, and some fans say that Fan Zhendong is not passionate enough. Of course, there are also fans who question the suspicion that Wang Chuqin's serve is blocked. But no matter what, Wang Chuqin has made rapid progress, which is also an indisputable fact.
Here, I wish Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin a good summary of the game, adhere to the good things, correct the bad, and continue to work hard to become a better version of themselves!
