According to the latest news from the table tennis media, the captain of the Chinese women's table tennis team, Ding Ning , who had been away from the stadium for several months, is finally about to make a comeback! Ding Ning has confirmed to participate in the WTT Macau Championship held in Macau, China from November 25 to 29. This is the first official match after Ding Ning missed the Olympic simulation competition, the National Table Tennis Championships and the ITTF finals to be held. I look forward to the Ning team's excellent performance.
WTT Macau Tournament is a specially planned publicity event held by the World Table Tennis Professional League (WTT World Table Tennis Federation) in Macau to take everyone to explore the style of the new era of table tennis. The WTT Macau Tournament will invite top male and female players in the world's top 16 to compete. Now , Ma Long , Ding Ning has confirmed to participate.
WTT Macau Competition has innovated the competition format. A total of 16 people participated, and the seeds from 9 to 16 on the first day were randomly drawn to the knockout round to compete for 4 tickets to advance to the second day of the competition. The seeds from 5-8 on the second day and the four winners on the first day competed for four tickets to advance to the quarter-finals. The top four seed players on the third day and the four players produced in the knockout round two days ago constitute the top eight players of this competition, and the quarter-finals were held until the championship was finally produced. A competition format like
is very beneficial to high-ranking veterans. For example, Ma Long is currently ranked third in the world. As the top four seed players in the event, he has no competition in the first two days. He has one game every day starting from the third day and only needs to play three games to win the championship. Ding Ning is currently ranked sixth in the world. Even as a top eight seed, he only needs to play four games to win the championship. This way, the competition density is relatively low, there is no need to rotate, and the physical fitness is guaranteed to be free of any problems, which is more conducive to the veteran's rich experience. The total prize money of
WTT Macau Tournament is as high as US$600,000. Although there is still a big gap with tennis prizes, it is still a very high prize amount. As long as the players participating in the event can get $1,200; the players who win the first day will add $2,000; the first four seeds will add $2,000; the second day will add $4,000; the quarter-finals will add $7,250; the semi-finals will add $9,000; the finals will add $16,000. If anyone can win from the first day to the final, he will receive a total of US$52,750, or about RMB 350,000. This is also a considerable income.
Ding Ning has never been idle during this period of time when he is not participating in the competition. He participated in the ELLE Fashion Ceremony, appeared at the China Lining pop-up store event, and went to Sanlitun to join Hongqi HS7 to Tibet Mangkang . He came to Dunhuang for the first time and felt different scenery and culture. In short, it is no less intense than participating in the competition. I wonder if Ding Ning has time to practice his table tennis skills during this period.
