WTT's official website updated the list of Singapore Grand Slam national table tennis participants on February 8: in men's singles, Fan Zhendong, Wang Chuqin, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Lin Shidong and other famous players are all listed. In women's singles, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Qian Tianyi and other powerful players will also compete fiercely. It is worth mentioning that Wang Chuqin will wear three hats and face huge challenges.
In doubles, the national table tennis sent the men's doubles combination of Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin, the women's doubles combination of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, and the mixed doubles combination of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha. These three pairs are all ranked among the top players in the world, and their performance will undoubtedly directly affect the performance of national table tennis in this competition. Moreover, the three doubles are limited to one pair, and the competition will be extremely intense.
It is worth mentioning that Ma Long did not partner with Wang Chuqin in the men's doubles competition, but partnered with Fan Zhendong in men's doubles. Another highlight is the competition for the third person in the Olympics, Ma Long, as a legend of national table tennis, does not need to question his strength and experience, and Liang Jingkun, as a leader of the new generation, also has strong strength. Who will eventually win the third place in the Olympic team is undoubtedly an important test for this competition.
In addition, Sun Yingsha did not report the women's doubles this time, and due to the mixed doubles event, each association can only report one pair at the Olympic Games. Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin should focus all their energy on attacking the mixed doubles championship, and the mixed doubles cannot afford to lose.
Wang Chuqin, as a three-part player in this competition, will face great challenges. He needs to allocate his energy wisely and maintain his consistent form, while juggling the singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles events.
Wang Manyu, as an important member of the women's doubles and mixed doubles, has also attracted much attention. The combination of her and Chen Meng has been run-in many times and has shown strong strength.
The WTT Singapore Grand Slam is the top of the Paris Olympic cycle, with a whopping 2,000 World Ranking Points and 3,000 Olympic Trials points for the winners, which is not only a symbol of honour for the players, but also a key battle for the Paris Olympic roster. The WTT Singapore Grand Slam will be held at the Singapore Sports Centre from 10 to 17 March.
