There are three quadruple champions in the history of Asian Championship, namely Malone, Guo Yan and Fan Zhendong. Malone won the men's team championship and men's singles championship in Lucknow in 2009, won the men's doubles championship with Xu Xin and won the mixed doubles championship with Li, becoming the first quadruple champion.
Subsequently, Guo Yan won the women's team champion, women's singles champion, Ding Ning women's doubles champion and Xu Xin mixed doubles champion at the 20 12 Asian Championships held in Macau. Fan Zhendong won the men's team championship, men's singles championship, Xu Xin's men's doubles championship and Chen Meng's mixed doubles championship in the 20 15 Asian Championships in Thailand, becoming the third quadruple champion. It can be seen that the top players will not be affected by these two events.
On September 9th, 2023, Fan Zhendong/Lin won the men's doubles final of the 2023 Asian Table Tennis Championships in Pyeongchang. China team Fan Zhendong/Lin defeated teammate Malone/Wang 3-2 to win the championship.
Analysis of Fan Zhendong's Technical Characteristics
1, Fan Zhendong's most amazing skill in table tennis in the world is the backhand quick tear. We also counted before that Fan Zhendong's backhand quick tear can rank first in the world, fast, sudden and powerful, so it will feel better. Different from many European players, direct backhand force, rapid tear, more stable.
2. Another jaw-dropping skill of Fan Zhendong is that he can still defend and even attack well when the backhand position is not in place and the angle is large, which is quite close to glinka's feeling. This technique also made Ma Long, Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru and others suffer a lot, and many returns were unexpected. Many balls that can be scored directly are simply pushed back by Fan Zhendong.
3. Fan Zhendong's twisting and pulling technology is also very stable, ranking first in the world. Note that we are talking about stability, not rotation and mass. Fan Zhendong's twisting and pulling technique, like Xu Xin's forehand technique, is the first in the world in terms of hand feel and stability, but its quality and rotation are slightly worse than the world's top ones, mainly due to the different ways of exerting force.
