A few days ago, the 2022 WTT Macau Championship had come to a successful conclusion. In the end, the Chinese team, which has its own strength, won the gold medal in all three events. The mixed doubles champions belong to Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen, the men's singles champion was won by the new generation representative Wang Chuqin, and Wang Manyu won the women's singles championship. Many fans' first reaction to this result is "unexpected". Before the game, the outside world predicted that the men's singles finals will be Ma Long and Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha in the women's singles finals, and Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen in the mixed doubles finals. Judging from the final lineup, only Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen entered the mixed doubles final and won the championship.
And Olympic champions such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng all missed the final stage. When summarizing the team's performance after the game, Liu Guoliang, chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, said that the current progress of veterans and newcomers in the Chinese team is very large. Although several iron-clad main players such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng failed to get good results in the Macau Championship, the win or loss of a game cannot represent everything. Liu Guoliang also said that he was very happy to see the fierce internal competition of the Chinese table tennis team, which is a good thing for the development of China's table tennis industry.
In this Macau competition, the national table tennis team sent all the lineups to participate, including men's singles, women's singles and mixed doubles events, and has fought every life and death from the quarter-finals. The even showdown, exciting football skills, resourceful coaches, and the transition from a friend to an enemy made everyone praise the performance of the national table tennis team. The new season has officially started. Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu, who won the singles championship, will gradually settle in the top three main players of the national team in the Paris cycle. As expected, both of these new stars will appear in the Paris Olympics. Veterans Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen were able to win the championship in this competition, which made many people look at each other with admiration.
Although they have not been able to stage a head-on confrontation with the new World Championship champions Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen's skills, cooperation, response, experience, etc. are still at the top in the world. With less than three years left before the Paris Olympics, it is still unknown whether the two can compete in the Olympics again. In terms of singles, Fan Zhendong and Ma Long failed to reach the semi-finals in this game, which is a bit incredible. Fan Zhendong is the leader in the Paris cycle of the men's team, and his goal is to the Paris Olympics.
Marron has not appeared in the international arena for a long time and his competitive state has not been at his best. It is also expected that he will lose to Wang Chuqin in the quarterfinals. The competition for women's singles is still between Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Liu Shiwen. Chen Meng is one of the most serious decline in form. She also said in an interview that she has never reached her ideal state and is still adjusting. The showdown between Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha will become the main theme of the competition for the women's team in the national table tennis team this cycle, and the two are also favorites to win the women's singles championship at the Paris Olympics. Who are you most satisfied with in this Macau tournament?
