The national table tennis team withdrew from the competition again, which aroused doubts from fans! Lin Yunru Ocharov is expected to share a bonus of 1.3 million. The WTT Star Challenge will be held in Doha, Qatar from September 20th to 25th. This is the third time that Qatar has held a WTT event in the year. The total prize money of this site is as high as US$200,000 (1.3 million yuan). You will also get 600 world ranking points to win the championship. Therefore, this site's competition still attracted many famous players to register. Lin Yunju, Ocharov, Hugo and other famous players have already signed up, but the national table tennis team did not register, and the Japanese team also hid all the main players.
After the Tokyo Olympics, ITTF has held two international events. At the WTT Hungarian Championship, Swedish young player Moregod won the men's singles championship, and Monaco player Yang Xiaoxin won the women's singles championship. Then at the Czech Open, Indian player Gananaseka won the men's singles championship, and Monaco player Yang Xiaoxin won the women's singles championship again. Without Chinese team and Japanese teams participating, Yang Xiaoxin won two consecutive championships, and her world ranking has risen to 24th. She will also participate in the WTT Star Challenge next month, which shows that Yang Xiaoxin has the opportunity to continue to improve her world ranking. After missing the WTT Hungarian Championship and the Czech Open, the Chinese national table tennis team gave up the WTT Star Challenge. In addition, the Chinese national table tennis team also withdrew from the Asian Championships held next month, which is equivalent to saying that the Chinese national table tennis team has withdrawn from four international events in a row, which has aroused doubts from some fans.
In fact, the national table tennis team has withdrawn from international competitions in a row for the sake of the National Games next month. Some people may say why not send young players to participate in international competitions. First of all, these international events are not something you can participate in as long as you want, but the premise is that you must have points. This alone can stop many young players. In addition, many young players are the main players in their respective provincial teams. Their top priority now is to prepare for the National Games. Even if these young players are willing to participate in the competition abroad, the provincial team may not let them go easily. According to my country's epidemic prevention policy, they must undergo at least 21 days of quarantine after returning to China. Now they will definitely miss the National Games if they go abroad to participate. It can be seen that the national table tennis team is forced to withdraw from international competitions in a row.
In this WTT Star Challenge, the Japanese team did not send Motochi Hokawa , Ito Mima and other main players, but instead sent some second-tier team members. The number one seed for men's singles is , Lin Yunru of Taipei , the number two seed is German world champion Ocharov, the number three seed is , Brazil star Hugo, the number four seed is Korean star Zhang Yuzhen , and the number five seed is British number one Picheford .

Although the national table tennis team did not participate in the competition and the Japanese team did not send out the main players, judging from the list of seed players, this WTT Star Challenge is still very interesting. Let's wait and see who can win the huge prize.
