Focus on sports information, pay attention to the field and outside the field.
The WTT Grand Slam in Beijing has officially come to an end.
The men's and women's singles will also determine the new champions.
No matter who the final champion is, as a Chinese fan, he is happy, and the dominance of national table tennis is beyond doubt.
In this Grand Slam, almost all the players who participated in the competition have gained, whether it is Sun Yingsha and Ma Long, who have always been rock-solid, or Lin Shidong, a young player who is in the limelight, and even young players such as Xiang Peng and Kuo Man have also won the championship.
However, if you want to say that the player who is "frustrated", I am afraid it must be the men's singles world No. 1 Wang Chuqin.
In fact, Wang Chuqin also gained something in this Grand Slam and won the men's doubles championship, but in the hearts of many fans, Wang Chuqin's main event should still be singles or mixed doubles.
Especially in the men's singles competition, once again stopped in the top 32, which put the 24-year-old world No. 1 under great pressure, so after weighing all factors, Wang Chuqin officially announced in an interview that he would withdraw from the upcoming Asian Championships men's doubles competition and only participate in the men's singles and men's team competitions.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Wang Chuqin's decision means that the world's No. 1 will definitely miss the men's doubles championship.
In this regard, Wang Chuqin also gave his own explanation.
In Wang Chuqin's view, he has been in a high-intensity load in the Paris Olympic cycle, and his condition is not the best at this stage, so if he continues to compete in three competitions, once he can't get good results, he will be sorry for the country's training.
Some netizens lamented that Wang Chuqin's words were a bit "serious", even if he lost the game, most fans would choose to forgive with a tolerant attitude, and Wang Chuqin didn't have to rise to such a height for this.
Wang Chuqin's decision actually has advantages and disadvantages.
On the upside, not having to do three can really release concentration and fitness, and there is more hope for good results in the men's singles field.
The disadvantage is that giving up the men's doubles has left Wang Chuqin with no "way out", which invisibly adds pressure to his men's singles competition.
Everyone knows that Wang Chuqin still has a very big advantage in the doubles arena, men's doubles and mixed doubles are championship-level players, but the singles arena is becoming more and more difficult, not only the foreign association's Moregaard, Zhang Benzhihe, Lin De and other players, but also the domestic Lin Shidong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun is also in very good shape, and even the progress of the teenager Xiang Peng is also visible to the naked eye.
Focusing on singles, if you lose again, it will inevitably trigger a new round of saliva, which will increase the difficulty of preparing for the next Los Angeles Olympic cycle.
Of course, Wang Chuqin's decision also shows the courage to challenge himself, and he still chooses to participate in the singles competition when he is not in the best condition, that is, "where he falls, he gets up".
The decision to withdraw from the men's doubles at the Asian Championships, in addition to Wang Chuqin himself, must also be the result of the consensus of the coaching staff, including Liu Guoliang, the head of the Table Tennis Association, also gave opinions and suggestions and approved Wang Chuqin's way of participating, and as an old partner in mixed doubles, "Little Devil" Sun Yingsha knows the difficulties of being three, and will also send blessings to Wang Chuqin's decision, and naturally hopes that the partner can stage the wonderful drama of the king's return in the Asian Championships singles competition.
