What happened to Wang Chuqin? On October 8, Beijing time, the first round of the men's team competition of the Asian Championship in Kazakhstan was in progress, among them, the match between the Chinese men's team and the Iran men's team attracted much attention, although the Chinese team finally defeated the Iran team 3-1 to advance to the top 4, but there was a big upset in the process, Wang Chuqin, the world's first men's singles ranking, lost 2-3 to the 14-year-old Iran teenager Benjamin, you must know that Benjamin's world ranking is only 210th, combined with the recent table tennis WTT China Grand Slam, Wang Chuqin lost to Denmark player Linde to stop the men's singles round of 32, it can be seen that Wang Chuqin still has not come out of the slump, after the game Wang Chuqin lost to Benjamin hot words also rushed to the top of the hot search list, and careful fans also found that after losing to Benjamin's key goal, Wang Chuqin suspected of exploding
Before today's match, the World Table Tennis Federation just announced the latest world rankings, including the men's singles, Wang Chuqin with 7825 points far ahead of the world, and today's men's team competition, Wang Chuqin as the first player, against Iran teenager Benjamin, Benjamin is not only ranked outside the 200th in the world, and this year he is only 13 years and 10 months, to be precise, not yet 14 years old, so almost everyone in this game believes that Wang Chuqin can easily pass with a score of 3-0
The result is unexpected, Wang Chuqin played very passive in the first game, and lost a city 8-11, although Wang Chuqin won the second and third games in succession, but from the third game Wang Chuqin made many mistakes, and finally lost 2-3 to the Iran child who was not yet 14 years old, then in the last game 9-9, Wang Chuqin lost the key points and let Benjamin get the match point at the same time, the very angry Wang Chuqin finally couldn't hold back his emotions and suspected of exploding, After he lost to Benjamin, the hot word "Wang Chuqin lost to the 14-year-old Iran youngster" also instantly topped the hot search list on social media
Wang Chuqin has not been ideal since the Paris Olympics, his performance and condition have not been ideal, he first lost to Sweden's Moregard in the Paris Olympics to stop the men's singles round of 32, and then stopped at the WTT Macau Championship in the men's singles round of 4, and then lost to the little-known Denmark player Linde in the Chinese Grand Slam, and also stopped at the men's singles round of 32, then the most unexpected thing is that on the first day of the Asian Championships, Wang Chuqin actually lost to Benjamin, a child who is not yet 14 years old, and has repeatedly lost foreign wars. Maybe you really need to adjust your state and mentality, especially the rapid rise of 19-year-old Lin Shidong, which will only make Wang Chuqin's pressure more and more
For his own state, Wang Chuqin has been clarified at the WTT China Grand Slam, after losing to Denmark's Linde to stop the men's singles round of 32, Wang Chuqin admitted that after the Paris Olympics, he has not yet entered a normal and positive state of competition, and even the desire to treat the game has not returned to before, although he also wants to play well and has been going all out, but the mentality has not sunk at all, especially in the process of confrontation with opponents, he admits that he has great fluctuations
In addition, after winning the men's doubles championship with Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin also talked about the decision to give up the men's doubles competition at the Asian Championships and only play men's singles and men's team
In fact, I personally think that fans don't have to worry too much about Wang Chuqin's state, as an Olympic champion and world champion, it is very normal for the state to have ups and downs, Wang Chuqin's world No. 1 is not a flash in the pan, but relying on years of achievements and glory in exchange, the national table tennis coaching staff has always had a default way to adjust the player's state, that is, to train with the game, only in this way can the fastest and most efficient help the player get back on track, so I hope the fans can give Wang Chuqin a little more time, come on!
