In 2005, Zhang Yining, who participated in the singles competition of the World Table Tennis Championships for the fourth time, finally won the championship and completed the "Grand Slam" tour.

The fourth women's grand slam in Li's history.
In 2007, Li was reversed in the women's singles final of the World Table Tennis Championships and missed the peak. In 2008, Li won the women's singles championship for the first time in three major competitions after defeating Tieyana of China and Hongkong in the Kuala Lumpur World Cup. 20 1 1 Rotterdam World Table Tennis Championships lost to Ding Ning in the women's singles final and missed the championship. 20 12 won the gold medal in London Olympic Games, which achieved a major breakthrough in his career. 20 13 Li, who won the runner-up in women's singles at the World Table Tennis Championships twice, finally realized her dream at the Paris World Table Tennis Championships. After defeating teammate Liu 4-2, he successfully entered the hall of honor of the "Grand Slam". Ding Ning, the fifth woman grand slam winner.
The most famous match between Ding Ning and Li was the final of the London Olympic Games four years ago. At that time, Ding Ning was frequently sentenced for serving, and his mood was affected. Li won the championship.
Four years later, the two met again in the women's singles final of Rio Olympic Games. The two staged many good performances of chasing points. After Li led 7: 3 in the fifth game, the two played more than 20 times, and the enthusiasm of the audience was instantly ignited. After the first six games were tied, Ding Ning seized the key opening of the deciding game and set the tone with the next three points. Although Li then struggled to catch up, the score of the deciding game was fixed at 1 1: 7 with her return ball out of bounds.
After winning, Ding Ning knelt on the ground and let tears of joy slide across his face. In two Olympic Games, she and Li exchanged the positions of champion and runner-up, but she said there was no comparison in each competition. Compared with four years ago, she became more mature, and both sides played a very high level in the final. Malone, the fifth Grand Slam winner in men's sports.
Before the game, the "Kelon War", which was regarded as "the tip of the needle versus the wheat", eventually became China Malone's "one-man show". In June 1 1, he defeated teammate ZhangJike 4-0. After winning the gold medal in the men's singles table tennis at the Rio Olympic Games, Malone became the fifth men's grand slam winner in the world table tennis after Waldner, Liu, Kong and ZhangJike. After winning the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup, the ITTF Tour Finals and the Olympic Games, Malone began his own era.
The World Table Tennis Championship, the Olympic table tennis singles champion and the World Cup champion organized by the ITTF are all involved, which is called the Grand Slam of the World Table Tennis Championships.
It means winning the World Cup, the World Championships and the Olympic Games. This is the Grand Slam.
After so many years of development, the men who won the Grand Slam are Waldner, Liu, Kong, ZhangJike and Malone. The women players who won the Grand Slam were Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, Li and Ding Ning.
Some time ago, Liu didn't get the chance to win the Olympic singles and lost the possibility of winning the grand slam. To tell the truth, personally, table tennis has developed to this day, and the pursuit of a grand slam has lost the significance of this sport. Table tennis in China has a long history, and the audience's watching level has also improved. Therefore, TAble tennis players can no longer simply judge ta by whether they have won a grand slam. Even if Liu doesn't win a Grand Slam, he is a top player in the world. Undoubtedly, he has made great contributions to table tennis in China.
In addition, Xu Xin, Dan Yu and other athletes obviously let everyone feel the charm of table tennis. Xu Xin's drama was more beautiful, and the surprise of saving the ball shocked many people. This is his style. He doesn't need to pursue a grand slam like ZhangJike and Malone, as long as he has his own characteristics; Then talk about Dan Yu. This young man is free to do what he wants, which is very Buddhist and good. If he pursues a Grand Slam in front of the powerful China, I'm afraid he won't get it in his life. Now his Buddhist nature shows you the other side of table tennis, which is very interesting. Of course, there are many similar athletes, such as Bohr's left-hand switch and Ochalov's great potential, all of which have their own characteristics.
China Table Tennis Corps and spectators should also improve their level, put aside more pursuit of ranking and achievements, make the sport more distinctive, and let more countries in the world join in, so as to be more ornamental.
Table tennis Grand Slam refers to winning the singles championship in the Olympic Games, the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup. It is the highest honor for table tennis players.
However, different times and different periods have different definitions of Grand Slam. For example, there was no Olympic Games before the 1980s, but only the World Table Tennis Championships in the World Cup. At that time, the definition of grand slam was: winning the team, singles, doubles and mixed doubles.
In the 1980s, 1980, table tennis established the Men's Football World Cup, and the Olympic Games was added after the 1980s.
But the grand slam generally means that the champions of the three singles competitions are all grand slams, also known as singles grand slams. Liu is the only one who can be called a grand slam if the title of the grand slam before the 1980s is counted.
At present, there are only 10 singles champions in the three major events, namely Waldner, Liu, Deng Yaping, Kong, Ma Long, ZhangJike, Zhang Yining, Ding Ning, Wang Nan and Li.
But now there is another name, Grand Slam. How can I put it? That is to say, plus the Tour Finals, the Asian Games, the Asian Cup, the National Games and the National Championships.
Table tennis legend Waldner didn't win the final, and Kong didn't win the Asian Games or the National Games. Wang Nan lacks the Asian Championship, Deng Yaping lacks the mixed doubles champion of the World Championships, and Liu, the current president of the Table Tennis Association, lacks the finals and the national champion.
Malone is the only one who has achieved this achievement. Now it is also a legend in table tennis. The record of the Dragon Team is really amazing. It just won the sixth championship in the finals yesterday.
Simply put, there are differences in the definition of grand slam in different times.
Winning a grand slam means the peak of your career and becoming a winner in life. You can get more opportunities and your life will be much smoother.
Over the years, 10 outstanding players have won this honor. I can imagine how wonderful life would be with the blessing of a grand slam.
The just-concluded World Championships and the ongoing Table Tennis World Cup, together with the just-past Olympic Games, are called "Grand Slam". In other words, only the players who win these three championships can be regarded as grand slams. At present, there are five Grand Slam winners among male and female table tennis players. The order of men's Grand Slam titles is: Waldner of Sweden, Liu, Kong, ZhangJike and Malone of China (only Malone did not retire, but did not participate in the World Championships and the World Cup). Female: Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, Li, Ding Ning (Ding Ning has not retired and has not participated in this World Championships and World Cup). Ten Grand Slam winners, Guo Ping has 9 seats!
Chen Meng failed to win the World Table Tennis Championships in the past and missed the sixth women's singles Grand Slam in table tennis. Sun Yingsha, a "little devil", won the World Cup runner-up, the Olympic runner-up and the World Championship runner-up in succession. Now she has entered the World Cup finals to see if she can win the World Cup first and contribute to the Grand Slam.
The table tennis Grand Slam is to combine the singles champions of the Olympic Games, the World Championships and the World Cup, the three top table tennis events in the world! In the past 30 years, only 10 masters have won this honor, among which China Guo Ping has 9 seats, while Europe has only 1 seat. This is the reason why table tennis is respected as a national sport by Chinese people!
