The last open leg before the World Table Tennis Championships ended. The national table tennis team achieved satisfactory results. In particular, the women's team maintained a complete victory in foreign games, won all the top four women's singles and won the women's doubles championship and runner-up. Although the men's team also won the singles championship and runner-up, it did not fully reach its goal due to the early exit of four young players. Mixed doubles is still strong, Xu Xin/ Liu Shiwenhtml only lost 1 game in 24 games, and has won 3 championships since forming the team.
But what is more important than the championship is the harvest. I have to praise the chairman of the China Table Tennis Association and the national table tennis coaching staff for their decisions for the World Table Tennis Championships, which have achieved good results. The first is that veteran Ma Long won the men's singles championship after returning from injury. After adjustments in the first round, he successively swept Boll and Shutani Mizutani , and defeated Xu Xin and Lin Gaoyuan to win the championship. It can be seen from these games that Malone has not returned to his best condition, but it has given fans reassurance that he is still an irreplaceable core player of the national table tennis team.
In addition, although Lin Gaoyuan failed to win the championship, I believe he also gained a lot and his ability to withstand pressure has been significantly improved. From a technical perspective alone, Lin Gaoyuan's strength is beyond doubt. The most regrettable thing is that he failed to meet him in the semi-finals. Zhang Benzhi and . However, there will be many opportunities in the future. If Lin Gaoyuan can maintain this momentum, I believe he can complete his revenge.
There is also the progress of the young players of the women's team. The four players who participated in the qualifying round performed strongly against foreign enemies. Sun Yingsha and He Zhuojia eliminated Ishikawa Kasumi and Hirano Miu respectively. National table tennis needs young players to grow up. You can see that Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu performed extremely well. Not only did they win the women's doubles championship together, the latter also won the women's singles championship. They all dare to fight and fight hard in the game, which is really what the coach needs to see.
Two veterans, , Ding Ning, and Liu Shiwen, have also improved. Ding Ning is more powerful in the first three boards. Liu Shiwen has improved in her serve and forehand use. After changing the game ball, Liu Shiwen has become more and more adaptable to the rhythm of the game and knows how to use her own advantages.
In addition to the above gains, the national table tennis team also did a good job in restricting the core of the Japanese table tennis team Mima Ito . Some fans may only know that Ding Ning swept Mima Ito, but if you watch the game carefully, you can clearly find that Ding Ning is doing After making changes, Mima Ito was perfectly restrained. In this game, Ding Ning made many long-term attacks, which made Mima Ito very uncomfortable. Due to Mima Ito's granular style of play, her standing position is very forward, and her height is not high enough, Ding Ning's long billiard ball prevented Mima Ito from making any powerful shots, and she was able to adjust well throughout the game. Being able to sweep was no accident. This must be the result of the National Table Tennis Team studying Mima Ito and then making adjustments to their playing style.
Judging from this Qatar Open, the national table tennis team still maintains its dominance in the world table tennis world, especially the overall strength of the women's team. It is impossible for the Japanese table tennis team to surpass them in a short time. After returning, they will help Ito Meicheng comes up with countermeasures, otherwise it will be difficult to win the next duel.
But we still need to remain highly vigilant. Four young players from the national table tennis men's team were eliminated early. Young players such as Zhang Benzhihe and Lin Yunru have grown into super first-class players. There are also many European players whose strength has greatly increased. These are problems that the national table tennis team needs to solve. Only by ensuring that there is sufficient talent reserve, accelerating the growth of young players, and having core players with absolute advantages can the dominance of national table tennis be long-lasting. In this competition, Liu Guoliang made adjustments to the lineup, and the technical and tactical improvements were made by the coaching staff. It was indeed a fruitful experience. I believe that under his leadership, the national table tennis team will still be the king of the world table tennis!
