Recently, the ITTF announced a list of the 6 players most in need of self-certification in the 2021 season. Among them, there are 3 male and female players. The male players include Brazil’s Calderano, the British star Pitchford and Sweden’s Falk. The female players include Japan’s Mima Ito, the United States’ Zhang An and China. Ding Ning.
It is worth mentioning that in the list announced this time, Mima Ito and Ding Ning are on the list at the same time. Mima Ito has grown into a major opponent of the national table tennis. He was ranked second in the world rankings for some time. Many fans felt a little uneasy. Fortunately, the national table tennis player Sun Yingsha was very upbeat and overtook Ito in the world rankings last December. Return to second place in the world. In this regard, Mima Ito once called for the national table tennis. In the future, she will become the number one in the world. Of course, she will have the national table tennis players stand low on the podium in the Tokyo Olympics. The meaning is clear, winning gold becomes Ito Mei An important goal of honesty.
In the ITTF’s view, Mima Ito needs to prove himself with his results, rather than simply shouting slogans. In order to stir up the dominance of the national table tennis, the ITTF hopes that players from foreign associations will stand up and give the country Ping some colors to see. But whether Mima Ito can get what he wants, the sixth person thinks it is too difficult to look at it now!
Let’s talk about Ding Ning. As the only women's grand slam winner in active service, the ITTF has very high expectations for Ding Ning. Helpless table tennis has already entered the era of the big ball. Ding Ning's technological innovation and her age have become important factors restricting her progress. Not long ago in the Table Tennis Super League, Ding Ning was both a coach and a main player, and she could indeed feel her powerlessness, but the spirit of Ding Ning who dares to take responsibility and dare to try is commendable. Some fans predict that Ding Ning may become an excellent coach in the future. What do you think?
In addition, the strength of Zhang An of the United States team should also not be underestimated. From the World Cup matches, it can be seen that she is an excellent player with a very strong temperament in the competition. She has strong resistance to pressure and ability to break games. No wonder the ITTF is very optimistic. she was. Of course, to be honest, she still has a long way to go before becoming a super player.
As for the three male players Calderano, Pitchford and Falke, their strength is obvious to all. It is like the first two have defeated Malone. It is worth mentioning that Japan’s Tomokazu Zhang is not in the world. The list announced by the Table Tennis Federation may have something to do with his age. Now including the future Zhang Ben will become a rival of the National Table Tennis. I believe many fans have already felt this.
Finally, from the players announced by the ITTF, it can be seen that they very much hope that players from foreign associations will challenge the national table tennis team. Deeply speaking, the players mentioned are very strong, but every time they encounter the Chinese team , Always lose more and lose less, almost never won in the competition. Ding Ning's identity is rather embarrassing. Although she is a Grand Slam, she has not been awarded a championship for a long time. The ITTF hopes that she can continue to persist and make breakthroughs. Can she? Wait and see!
