Some fans say that Sun Yingsha has the strongest doubles ability, which is based on the fact that she has a regular partner. If Sun Yingsha is now allowed to partner with Lin Gaoyuan or Liang Jingkun in the mixed doubles match, what will be the result? I believe that different fans have different answers. In addition to Wang Chuqin's cooperation with Sun Yingsha to win the championship in this Olympic cycle, he has also won the championship in mixed doubles with Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi.
This point is generally ignored by fans, in fact, Wang Chuqin's doubles ability has always been good, even if he does not cooperate with Sun Yingsha in this Olympic cycle, he can still participate in the mixed doubles competition in the Olympic Games if he cooperates with other national table tennis teammates. Especially in the 2022 Budapest Challenger, Wang Manyu and Wang Chuqin chased two and three with Wang Chuqin in the case of injury, defeating Tomokazu Zhang and Hina Hayata.
Even though the big score was 0-2 behind, Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu finally narrowly defeated their opponents in the deciding game with their super return and twisting skills. Therefore, Wang Chuqin has the results of cooperating with other female players in the mixed doubles partner to win the championship, in fact, in 2022, the national table tennis coaching staff also thought about changing Wang Chuqin's mixed doubles partner.
If Wang Chuqin is allowed to cooperate with Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu in the mixed doubles competition, then this Paris Olympic cycle, these two players will definitely occupy an Olympic quota. At the beginning, the coaching staff still hoped that Wang Yidi, Sun Yingsha, and Chen Meng would participate in the Olympic Games, and let Wang Yidi and Wang Chuqin partner in the mixed doubles competition, which was not much different from Sun Yingsha.
The main reason is that Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have been working together for a long time, so they continue to let the pair compete in the mixed doubles at the Olympic Games. From 2021 to May 2023, the pair of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin has a greater advantage in the mixed doubles competition, but the pressure on foreign wars has increased in recent years.
Moreover, the rise of the post-00s mixed doubles combination of Kuo Man and Lin Shidong has also created a lot of pressure on the pair of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha. In particular, at the Mixed Team World Cup at the end of 2023, Hayasuke Togami/Mi Haramoto and the provisional Japanese table tennis mixed doubles pair defeated the Shatou pair for the first time.
Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are facing the pressure of the mixed doubles foreign war, and the Paris Olympics are getting bigger and bigger. However, the pair still calmly faced external challenges, although the gap between winning each foreign game was very small, but Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin have been picking out the details, and they can score key points in every game.
Wang Chuqin made up for Sun Yingsha's passivity in the service link, and Wang Chuqin also said in the interview that he would take on more important tasks in the mixed doubles competition to share the pressure on Sun Yingsha. Wang Chuqin silently endured everything, he is indeed the core and responsible player of the mixed doubles competition. This is due to Wang Chuqin's good receiving skills and strong ability to protect the table in COSCO.
Sun Yingsha is the most competitive in the near Taiwan whether it is in doubles or mixed doubles, so the player who partners with Sun Yingsha must have a good ability to pull and protect the table in the COSCO platform. At present, Wang Manyu has the best ability to protect the platform in the women's team, mainly because of her tall height. Wang Chuqin is also because of his tall stature and strong running ability, and he is a left-handed player, so he has a natural advantage in doubles.
Sun Yingsha's return is mainly based on splitting long and swinging short, so whether it is in doubles or mixed doubles, her own partner must have good skills in receiving and twisting the serve, so as to ensure that she wins the championship. It is not obvious in the face of ordinary opponents, but in the face of opponents who are too strong, players with good return and twisting skills can score directly on the key points.
Why do Kuo Man and Lin Shidong challenge the combination of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin more and more? A very important reason is that the duo has advanced return and twist techniques, and they are always better at handling key points. Although Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan's return skills are also advanced, Wang Chuqin's connection speed and ability to resist pressure in the game are indeed stronger.
It is precisely because of the strong doubles comprehensive ability of partner Wang Chuqin that Sun Yingsha's performance in the mixed doubles competition is ensured. Most of the men's doubles championships won by national table tennis in the past two years were won by Wang Chuqin, and it can be seen from this point that Wang Chuqin is the most relied on player in the doubles and mixed doubles competitions, and the role of this player is indeed irreplaceable.
The same is true for Wang Manyu's doubles role in the women's team, which she has won 10 times in doubles this Olympic cycle. Especially in the 2021 National Games, Wang Manyu mixed doubles and partner Cao Wei reached the final, and if it weren't for a leg injury, they would probably win the championship. Wang Manyu won the doubles with Che Xiaoxi, these two teammates are not the main force of national table tennis, and they still reached the final under Wang Manyu's partner.
Wang Manyu can cooperate well with different partners in doubles matches, especially she and Sun Yingsha cooperate in doubles matches, can play a good connection in the middle and far platform, and can score directly in the receiving link. The most obvious example is Wang Manyu and Chen Meng's women's doubles final at last year's Asian Championships against Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi.
Both sides were two right-handed combinations, but Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi were continuously transferred to overlap their running positions, and Wang Manyu and Chen Meng won 3-0. In fact, Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi were transferred to this position at that time, because their ability to protect the ball in the near stage was far better than that of the middle and far table. In fact, the pair is also mobilizing the Wang Manyu combination, but Wang Manyu and Chen Meng's defensive ability in the COSCO platform is better, and they have not been transferred.
From this point, it can be seen that Wang Manyu and different doubles partners can achieve seamless connection, and he is indeed the first choice for doubles. Sun Yingsha and the other doubles partners did not win the title this Olympic cycle, and the 2023 finals won the title again after reuniting with Wang Manyu, which is the best proof of this.
