1, affirmation of Fan Zhendong winning the championship.
Fan Zhendong and Malone have always been strong rivals, but in previous competitions, Malone has always defeated Fan Zhendong overwhelmingly, and so has the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Malone narrowly beat Fan Zhendong, and Fan Zhendong beat Malone at WTT this time. Malone congratulated him after the game, which shows Malone's affirmation of Fan Zhendong's strength.
2. Certification of Fan Zhendong's strength.
Malone can be said to be the only Grand Slam player in China men's table tennis. At its peak, Malone, also known as the Hexagon Warrior, had almost no weaknesses. Of course, it is not easy to get Malone's affirmation. This time, Fan Zhendong beat Malone at WTT and got Malone's congratulations. It is not difficult to see that this is Malone's affirmation of Fan Zhendong's strength.
3. Have more expectations for the future of Fan Zhendong.
Malone's game can be said to be less and less. After all, his age has passed the peak, and there are all kinds of old injuries that may recur at any time. Fan Zhendong can be said to be the age to play. After beating Malone to win the championship this time, Malone is congratulating me, so I think I can see more hope and sustenance for men's table tennis in the future. Therefore, it can be said that Malone's congratulations on Fan Zhendong's winning the championship are more due to Malone's joy in seeing the successor of men's table tennis.
Fan Zhendong's progress in table tennis in recent years is obvious to all. Of course, now Fan Zhendong is also the most successful player in China men's table tennis. There are still many expectations for the future of Fan Zhendong. Bian Xiao also thinks that Fan Zhendong will be the next table tennis player with a chance to surpass Malone's achievements.
