Will Fan Zhendong be able to change the status quo?At present, the national table tennis men's team is intensively preparing for the men's finals in January. The competition of the national table tennis men's team is not only reflected in the fringe main level, but also in the core main layer, especially between Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong. Fan Zhendong once again won the world No. 1 but was not selected for the top 10 Chinese athletes selected by the Xinhua News Agency's sports department, raising questions about whether he can change the status quo.
And Wang Chuqin's performance in the past year makes people indisputably consider him to be the most outstanding player in the national table tennis men's team. He made history at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, winning four gold medals in men's singles, men's doubles, mixed doubles and men's team, a feat that earned him the title of best athlete. Such results not only made the national table tennis men's team see the hope of successors, but also sounded the alarm for Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, who were older than him.
Although Fan Zhendong has won the WTT Singapore Grand Slam and the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban in succession, his goal is not limited to this, but to prove his strength and value in the Olympic arena. In order to achieve good results in the Olympic Games, Fan Zhendong paid a lot of price, and on the grounds of career planning, he withdrew from a number of events in a row and conducted closed training.
This approach away from the world stage, while helping to focus on training, has also allowed his results to fluctuate, dropping the world rankings several times this year. Can Fan Zhendong change the status quo in such a competitive environment?Perhaps it will take time to reveal. Chinese table tennis player Fan Zhendong has suffered a series of defeats in recent matches, which has raised questions about his performance and future development.
At the same time, he is also under pressure from his opponent Wang Chuqin to re-examine his form and competitive strategy. Can past results and performances be sustained?Can Fan Zhendong achieve good results in the upcoming Paris Olympics?These issues have attracted much attention and have sparked extensive discussions.
