Singapore Grand Slam is the most watched competition before the Paris Olympics, in addition to the Busan World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup, and it is also an event where each association does its best, and national table tennis is no exception, so the arrangement of national table tennis will be the focus of fans' attention, and after the singles are announced, the main force of national table tennis is all listed, there is no big doubt, but in doubles, there are still fans who have some doubts about it.
Considering that the Paris Olympics is about to start, every time the national table tennis team plays in the Paris Olympics, it should closely follow the arrangement of the Paris Olympics, and in the Singapore Grand Slam, the national table tennis doubles temporarily changed the formation, this time it should be aimed at Ma Long. Let's break it down.
WTT Singapore Grand Slam
【Women's Doubles】Chen Meng, Wang Manyu
First of all, in women's doubles, the national table tennis sent a combination of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, all know the Tokyo Olympics, the combination of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu is indeed very good, the two of them's right hands, because of the blessing of personal ability, and familiar cooperation, have become the current leaders in women's doubles.
Before the Paris Olympics, the national table tennis women's singles qualification has not been announced for a long time, in fact, there is not much surprise, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu's points ranking will be an important evaluation method for one of them to be selected for the women's singles qualification of the Paris Olympics, and the other may be the candidate for the women's team. Obviously, the combination of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu must be in the women's doubles at the Paris Olympics, and Sun Yingsha will play in the singles.
【Mixed Doubles】Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha
In the mixed doubles event, at the Tokyo Olympics, the national table tennis lost the gold medal and missed the first Olympic mixed doubles gold medal, which is still a pity, so since the preparation for the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha have participated in many competitions, especially in the past year or so, the two have been matched more frequently.
There is no accident that the current best mixed doubles partners of national table tennis, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, will be the guarantee of the national table tennis winning gold at the Paris Olympics. At the same time, it also indicates that they will be able to do three. So from now on, the two must cooperate a lot to win the final championship at the lowest cost. to be able to prepare for singles and teams without reservation.
【Men's Doubles】Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin
The only question for fans is men's doubles, you must know that in the Paris Olympics, the lineup of the national table tennis men's team has been clearly carded, that is, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin and Ma Long, there is no other choice.
In terms of team collocation, it should be Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin Ma Long in the men's doubles, which is the safest and safest, but to put it bluntly, the lineup of the national table tennis coaching staff is always unexpected, and in the team event of the Paris Olympics, the national table tennis will also change.
It should be clear from the lineup configuration of this Singapore Grand Slam that this time it should be aimed at Ma Long, because Ma Long is likely to appear in the single position many times.
First of all, Ma Long's physical strength is good, because Ma Long only has team events in the Paris Olympics, and does not compete in singles and mixed doubles, so Ma Long can have enough preparation time and time to adapt to the venue. This is a great help for Malone to play in the group. The coaching staff may also take this into account.
Second, Ma Long's external combat ability is outstanding, in many competitions, Ma Long has tested this, there is no doubt, so Ma Long has a great possibility to play a single.
Third, the cooperation of the leading combination is more tacit than the little fat head combination of Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, in fact, Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin should cooperate more before the Paris Olympics, so that the national table tennis coaching staff has a variety of choices in the team competition. It's not that the two are not good enough, but if there is only one group that can play in the Singapore Grand Slam, the national table tennis coaching staff will still favor Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, so that their combination will have more opportunities to practice in the competition.
Summary
To be honest, the strength advantage of the national table tennis men's team has actually shrunk a lot with foreign associations, so without affecting the results, the national table tennis needs more choices, which will not make the opponent more aware of the formation of the national table tennis as the object of study. Therefore, in the Paris Olympics, it is not ruled out that there will be a variety of changes in the team lineup, including the combination of Ma Long and Wang Chuqin, as well as the combination of Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, and the possibility that Fan Zhendong, Ma Long and Wang Chuqin will all compete as a single.
