Beijing time on October 27, the 2022 Xinxiang WTT World Cup final officially opened today. Two world number ones, Fan Zhendong, , Sun Yingsha, , will launch an impact on the two consecutive championships in the event. In the first round, Fan Zhendong was suspended for the world's third-ranked Liang Jingkun, while Sun Yingsha faced Mutlam in the first round. At that time, CCTV5 will broadcast the live game. After the end of the Macau Championship, the Xinxiang World Cup final was held. This event should be the most important event this year after the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, with 16 players participating in the men's and women's singles.
In this game, 16 players from men and women played singles each participated in the game. In terms of men's singles, Liang Jingkun, who ranked third in the world, narrowly defeated his teammate , 3-2 in the first round of the men's singles in the WTT Macau Championship, Lin Gaoyuan , put the racket on his waist and put his hands on his hips to celebrate. Such indecent actions are obviously disrespectful to his opponent.
In response to this, Chinese Table Tennis Association punished Liang Jingkun for stopping participation in four competitions, including the WTT World Cup finals. Therefore, the men's singles players who appeared in the finals of the Xinxiang World Cup have been reduced from 16 to 15.
men's singles, the 15 players who participated in the final were Fan Zhendong, Malong , Zhang Benzhihe , as well as Calderano , Moregade , Lin Yunru , Ocharov, Wang Chuqin , Lin Gaoyuan, Boer , etc.
Liang Jingkun apologized for his behavior after the game, "My condition has been very sluggish. He was very excited after winning the ball. His subconscious behavior caused a misunderstanding for Lin Gaoyuan. After the game, he also said sorry to Lin Gaoyuan. My brother said sorry, and finally apologized to Lin Gaoyuan and his fans again."
But the incident has happened. Even Lin Gaoyuan forgave Liang Jingkun, but the adverse effects caused by this uncivilized action have occurred. The Chinese Table Tennis Association made Liang Jingkun four events that are not allowed to participate in Xinxiang World Cup. I hope Liang Jingkun can learn from it. I also hope that other players can learn from it and respect their opponents and win the championship in the game!
