Previously, according to the rules of ITTF : According to the world ranking announced on August 23, 2022, the top 30 male and female athletes and two wildcard players will go to Macau to participate in the competition, and each member association can send up to four players. Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong have not yet been confirmed as the competition is ranked fifth in the national table tennis team. Currently, the chairman of Liu Guoliang has won wild card opportunities for two athletes, Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong. At this point, the list of national table tennis team participating in the Macau Championship has been confirmed, and a total of ten world champions were sent to participate in . The men's singles are Fan Zhendong , Ma Long , Liang Jingkun, Wang Chuqin , and Lin Gaoyuan; the women's singles are Sun Yingsha , Chen Meng , Wang Manyu , Wang Yidi , and Chen Xingtong. The WTT Championship Macau Station will be held from October 19 to 23, with a total prize of US$800,000.
WTT Championship is a mid-level event in the WTT event system, gathering the world's top 32 men's and women's singles players. The event level is second only to the WTT Grand Slam and the WTT World Cup finals (Olympic Games, World Table Tennis Championships , and World Cup are not included). For the top players in the world, this game is relatively attractive, and we can also predict that this game will be extremely fierce.
In addition, this site's competition is also linked to the qualification for participating in the WTT World Cup final held in Xinxiang, Henan on the 27th of this month. The total prize money for the Xinxiang World Cup final is US$1 million, and a total of 16 singles seats for men and women are set up. Currently, 19 athletes have locked in the qualification for participating. In the official list, eight players of the Chinese table tennis team have already locked in the quota, namely Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Liang Jingkun, and Wang Chuqin; Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi. The remaining quotas will be based on the team's world ranking after the end of this site competition (WTT Macau Championship). Only those players in the top 16 will be able to participate in . Therefore, Lin Gaoyuan, who is ranked 11th in the world and Chen Xingtong, who is ranked 13th in the world, are still to be determined, and he also has a very strong initiative in participating in this competition, and there is a high probability that he will be able to compete for the remaining tickets.
I hope Lin Gaoyuan and Chen Xingtong can seize the opportunity and successfully win the WTT World Cup final ticket. We also look forward to the top players who can contribute a wonderful table tennis journey to fans.
