Recently, there have been exciting new developments in the national table tennis world, and Sun Yingsha won the award again with her outstanding performance. In the just-concluded World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, Sun Yingsha won the honorary crown of the best player with her outstanding performance on the field. Immediately afterwards, the ITTF officially announced the results of the annual selection, and Sun Yingsha and Fan Zhendong jointly won the title of the best WTF athlete of the year, which made fans full of praise for Sun Yingsha and rejoiced for her achievements.
However, in a recent decision, Ma Lin, the national table tennis coaching staff, made an unexpected arrangement, which surprised and puzzled many fans. It turned out that the national table tennis team had released the list of players who would participate in the Singapore Grand Slam tournament, and one of the subtle changes sparked heated discussions: Ma Lin's guidance decided not to include Sun Yingsha in the women's doubles lineup, and instead Chen Meng and Wang Manyu partnered in the women's doubles event. This means that Sun Yingsha will miss the opportunity to compete in the women's doubles, which is indeed confusing and regretful for many fans.
In the recent series, Sun Yingsha has shown an unstoppable form, defeating several of Japan's top players in a row. With her outstanding performance and overwhelming victory, Sun Yingsha not only won the hearts of fans, but also successfully shocked her opponents. Originally at the upcoming Singapore Grand Slam tournament, Sun Yingsha is expected to challenge for the singles, doubles and mixed doubles crowns, trying to achieve a rare triple crown. However, Coach Ma Lin made an unexpected decision: Sun Yingsha will not compete in the women's doubles and only in the women's singles and mixed doubles events, which means that she has lost the opportunity to compete for the treble, which is regrettable and confusing for many fans.
As everyone knows, South Korea's women's doubles pair Shin Yubin and Tian Zhixi are currently ranked No. 1 in the world in this event. If Chinese women's table tennis wants to regain its dominance in the women's doubles world, the highly competitive pair of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu is undoubtedly the best candidate. Previously, the two have teamed up to compete in the women's doubles on several occasions and have achieved excellent results.
Now, Ma Lin has once again made the surprising decision to break up the champion-level Women's Doubles pair and instead send Chen Meng and Wang Manyu to form a new pairing. Frequent changes in the women's doubles pairings may not bring a significant advantage on the road to the women's doubles world No. 1 pairing, so many fans are quite surprised and incomprehensible by Ma Lin's tactical arrangement.
As a keen viewer of national table tennis, we sincerely look forward to the next Singapore Grand Slam tournaments, all national table tennis athletes can achieve better results and fight for honor. Here, let us cheer for the national table tennis and cheer for Sun Yingsha!
