Since the Tokyo cycle, Ding Ning, a table tennis player with the core of "",has launched a strong impact on Liu. Ding Ning decided not to take part in the Tokyo Olympics a long time ago, and later chose to retire. Now he is studying and teaching in Peking University. Liu chose to persist, but she had no advantage in the competition with the three teenagers, although she won the singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships.
Liu Ye came to the end of his career and reached a stage where he could play more freely. The new core of Guo Ping has been established, that is, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi, a fast man, are in Manyu Wang, Chen Meng.
WTT Grand Slam, the official first stop of WTT World Table Tennis Federation, will be held in Singapore from March 7 to 20. This match in Singapore is the first stop of the Grand Slam. The total prize money of the tournament is 2 million dollars, which is officially recognized as the largest prize pool in table tennis. Among them, the champion of singles will receive100000 USD, and even the players who stop in the first round are entitled to more than 40% bonus, that is to say, they will get a bonus if they participate.
The competition lasts for two weeks, including singles, doubles and mixed doubles. In terms of personnel, there are 64 singles players, 24 pairs of doubles players and mixed doubles players 16 pairs. The winner of each competition will get 2000 ITTF ranking points. Judging from the competition awards, both points and bonuses are extremely rich. Especially for some players, 2000 points can improve many world rankings. Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, who have just reached the top of the world, scored just over 400 points. If you want to sit on the first throne, you can't lose this game; Chen Meng will also go all out to hit the first place and win the championship!
Guo Ping is currently training in Hainan. I think Guo Ping may send the main team to participate in the competition. Malone, Xu Xin, Liu and other veterans are likely to participate in the competition. The men's teams Liang Jingkun, Lin and Wang will also take part in the competition. Among them, Liang Jingkun and Lin also signed up for the Oman Challenge before this, which is also a good opportunity to prove themselves and win the trust of the coaching staff. Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Manyu Wang and Wang Yidi from the women's team will also attend.
There are three events in this competition. I think table tennis should be dominated by doubles and mixed doubles. Let's start with doubles. There is no need to worry about women's doubles at present. Manyu Wang and Sun Yingsha are two world table tennis champions, playing stably and with strong strength; The men's team played a combination of Xu Xin Malone, Wang He, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun and Lin, which was not very stable. These two pairs of men's doubles missed the final in the World Table Tennis Championships, and so did Guoping. Moreover, doubles is the focus of the Olympic team and must be cultivated.
