Why was Wang Chuqin able to reverse and defeat Lin Shidong? I believe this is a concern for all fans. After the game, Deng Yaping spoke frankly, saying that Little Stone indeed lost without any injustice. The most anticipated match in the men's team competition of the Ping Super League was the singles match between Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong, which was also a battle between the current world number one and world number two. The two were not only competing in terms of strength but also engaging in psychological warfare. In the end, Wang Chuqin won the match with great difficulty, completing a reversal after losing the first set, and ultimately leaving the suspense until the very end, defeating Lin Shidong 3-2. The match was as tense as the score suggests, with the fierce fighting on the court and the cheering of the fans off the court making it full of highlights. After winning the match, Wang Chuqin was very relieved, roaring on the sidelines and circling the field to thank the fans. At this moment, Wang Chuqin released all his pressure and finally overcame himself. Only Wang Chuqin knows how difficult it was to win this match, and being able to start 2025 well is also the beginning of overcoming oneself. Many fans are puzzled as to why Wang Chuqin was able to reverse Lin Shidong. Was it due to skill or luck, or did he take advantage of the momentum created by the fans on the court? Deng Yaping, a grand slam winner in table tennis, reviewed…

The Chinese national table tennis team has made significant changes to their doubles lineup for the 2025 Singapore Grand Slam event. All three main players have withdrawn from the competition, and new pairs have been formed for both men's and women's doubles, which feels quite different from previous configurations. Wang Chuqin, currently the strongest left-handed player in the national team, always manages to produce unexpected results in doubles matches. His serve is particularly troublesome for opponents, especially when paired with a right-handed player, as their positions complement each other and their attacking routes do not overlap. Lin Shidong, although not having partnered much with Wang Chuqin in doubles before, showed good chemistry during the Asian Championships, especially in critical points where Lin's stability and Wang's explosiveness complemented each other well, keeping opponents guessing about the direction of the next shot. Kuai Man's left-handed style is rare in women's doubles. Her pairing with Wang Manyu may seem unusual at first glance, but upon closer consideration, it could be interesting. Their playing styles differ greatly; Wang excels at forehand attacks while Kuai's backhand is more distinctive, which might lead to new tactical combinations. Although the Beijing Grand Slam match was lost quite quickly, this should not negate the potential of the pair. After all, the most important aspect of doubles is coordination and understanding, much like cooking where good ingredients need to be tried and tested to find the perfect balance. The national team's bold innovation in doubles personnel arrangements breaks away from the original configuration, which is surprising given that past…

With the ringing of the New Year's bell, the table tennis world also ushered in its first battle of the new year. In this exciting match, Shandong Luneng Team and Shenzhen University Team won the championship and runner-up in the women's team competition. The focus of the controversy: At a critical moment in the women's team final, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha debated over a controversial ball for as long as ten minutes. Whether the ball touched the table became the focus of the dispute. The referee's review and decision, as well as the intense debate between both sides, added a lot of drama to the game. Fan discussion: This controversy has also sparked extensive discussions among fans. Some believe that as a senior player, Wang Manyu should not argue with young players; others question the professionalism of the referees. However, we want to say that respecting the final ruling of the referee is a quality that every fan should have. Reconciliation and friendship: Despite the intense controversy on the court, the two attended a symposium at Jiaotong University in the afternoon, showing their friendly relationship off the court. This is not only respect for the game but also respect for the opponent. New Year, new气象: Sun Yingsha posted on social media at the beginning of the New Year, thanking the fans for their support and looking forward to achieving better results in 2025. At the same time, she also released the first photo of the New Year together with her coach COCO, showing the new气象of the New Year. Wishing…

Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin met in their first match of 2024, which reminded me of the match between Liu Guoliang and Kong Linghui back then. That match was also filled with various stories, but looking at it now, this match seems even more interesting. Wang Chuqin played particularly aggressively this time, feeling like he was holding back a burst of energy to win against Fan Zhendong. He was very proactive from the first serve, and his serves were particularly tricky, with Fan Zhendong failing to receive them well several times. The first set of the match was particularly close, with the two players going back and forth. In the end, Wang Chuqin was more decisive in the key points, directly taking the first set with a forehand smash. During the second set, Fan Zhendong looked a bit anxious, perhaps wanting to win back a set, but instead made more mistakes. Wang Chuqin seized the opportunity to score continuously and quickly took the second set. In the third set, Fan Zhendong finally found some rhythm. His backhand loop became stable, and his serves became more threatening. He won this set relatively easily. It's quite interesting that Xiao Zhan, the coach, came to accompany Wang Chuqin in training. In theory, as a national team coach, he shouldn't get involved in club matches, but he still came, probably because he really values Wang Chuqin. After Xiao Zhan arrived, Wang Chuqin's technical details obviously improved, especially in his serving and receiving quality, which felt much better than before. This might be the effect…

The WTT World Table Tennis Association released a video titled "Please receive the New Year's greetings from the Chinese Table Tennis Team." In the video, eight main players of the national table tennis team, including Wang Chuqin, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Lin Shidong, appeared. However, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng were not seen, nor was Ma Long present. Does this mean that they are no longer part of the national team just because they withdrew from the world rankings? This kind of differential treatment is really speechless. Not long ago, Fan Zhendong announced his withdrawal from the world rankings first. After winning the grand slam, Fan Zhendong had no worries. Faced with the WTT rule that non-participation would result in fines, Fan Zhendong did not comply but bravely became a lone warrior, becoming the first to announce his withdrawal from the world rankings. Subsequently, Chen Meng followed Fan Zhendong's footsteps and also announced her withdrawal from the world rankings. Ma Long was the third, but he chose a relatively mild way to withdraw without issuing a statement, giving face to the national team and Liu Guoliang. In theory, although all three have withdrawn from the world rankings, this does not mean they have left the national team; these are not equivalent actions. However, on the occasion of the New Year, the WTT World Table Tennis Association seems to be deliberately separating them from the national team. The New Year's greeting video features eight national table tennis players, including Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Kuai Man, Lin Shidong, Wang Manyu, Wang…

The news that Fan Zhendong withdrew from the world rankings has caused quite a stir, leaving me somewhat confused, as if someone suddenly didn't want their report card anymore. Despite being ranked first in the world, he said he didn't want it and just let it go. This matter is simple in one sense, but also really complicated. Before the New Year's Day, the Chinese Table Tennis Association issued a statement saying that Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng were going to withdraw from the world rankings. This came out of nowhere and caught everyone off guard. This boils down to the athletes not wanting to participate anymore, feeling that the current competition rules are unfair to them. Instead of being led by the nose, they might as well not play at all. After all, they can still compete domestically and life goes on as usual. These three athletes are indeed tough. They knew that withdrawing from the world rankings would make it difficult for them to participate in international competitions in the future, yet they made this decision together. Their united stance is truly admirable. Liu Guoliang also stood with the athletes this time, saying that he fully supports the athletes in protecting their rights. This statement warms the heart, after all, family takes care of family. In essence, withdrawing from the world rankings is a signal, telling the International Table Tennis Federation not to overstep. Chinese players are not easy to bully. Everyone is doing this for the good of the sport, so why make things so…

Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng, three giants of table tennis, have withdrawn from the world rankings and are essentially bidding farewell to the international stage. Ma Long can be said to have no regrets, Fan Zhendong retired too early in his prime, and Chen Meng is still missing a World Championship women's singles title for a perfect career, yet everything has returned to zero. When world rankings determine eligibility for competitions, wild cards may be the only opportunity. What will happen next remains to be seen. The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) has published a summary and evaluation of their careers due to the "departure" of these three individuals. What did ITTF say? Please read on. On the last day of 2024, the Chinese Table Tennis Association announced that the three most representative figures in table tennis - Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng - have withdrawn from the ITTF world rankings. Ma Long is hailed as one of the greatest table tennis players in history, achieving unparalleled success in his illustrious career. He is a two-time singles Olympic champion (2016, 2020), a three-time singles world champion (2015, 2017, 2019), and a three-time singles World Cup champion (2012, 2015, 2024), making him one of the few grand slam winners in the sport. Known as "Dragon," Ma Long extended his dominance to team events, winning numerous world team championships and Olympic team gold medals for China. His record-breaking world No. 1 ranking further highlights his dominance in the sport, as he held the top spot longer than any…

The national table tennis team is really stirring things up. Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng have all suddenly dropped out of the world rankings, yet Liu Guoliang still supports them. This makes the lineup for the Singapore Grand Slam quite interesting, with Lin Shidong and Kuai Man suddenly becoming the main characters, and their partners have all been changed. This has caused quite a stir, with Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, and Chen Meng suddenly collectively withdrawing from the world rankings, leading everyone to speculate if there's any inside information. However, it's not hard to understand that these veterans do need to adjust their competition rhythm, as their age is indeed a factor, and playing so many matches is indeed exhausting. Liu Guoliang's statement this time can be considered as giving everyone a reassurance. In essence, he's saying that these veterans can participate in competitions whenever they want, and it's completely fine to use wild cards. Moreover, he hinted that WTT's policies are indeed somewhat unreasonable. These words make it clear that he's speaking on behalf of the athletes. The rules set by the International Table Tennis Federation are indeed quite troublesome now, especially for such established players. They've already won grand slams, yet they're still bound by these ranking points rules, which is indeed not very appropriate. In this situation, withdrawing from the rankings actually seems quite wise, as it allows them to adjust their state well and not be tied down by those cumbersome rules, which might even allow them to perform better. Lin Shidong is truly…

Recently, the table tennis world has been in turmoil due to the announcements from Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng that they will be withdrawing from the world rankings, drawing significant attention from fans. In their statements, both Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng expressed the immense psychological toll and physical exhaustion they experienced during their preparations for the Paris Olympics, which has left them unable to participate in WTT events at present. Chen Meng further elaborated that throughout the high-intensity preparations for the Paris cycle, she faced tremendous pressure, and as the intensity increased, so did the injuries, making the entire process exceptionally arduous. As a result, after the Paris Olympics, both Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng opted for extended periods of rest and have now decided to withdraw from the world rankings. However, during the preparations for the Paris Olympics, two individuals endured even greater fatigue and exhaustion than Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng. These two athletes, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, despite their extreme weariness, could not express it, nor dare they do so. Since entering the Paris Olympic cycle, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin were entrusted with the crucial task of reclaiming the lost mixed doubles gold medal at the Paris Olympics. At the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin took on three events each, with Sun Yingsha, in particular, participating in three events and reaching the finals in all of them. She won the mixed doubles and women's doubles titles but fell short in the most significant women's singles final, losing 2:4 to…

This evening, the final of the Ping Pong Super League concluded with Shandong Luneng winning the women's team championship and Shandong Weiqiao securing the men's team title. However, the biggest winner was not the two clubs from Shandong but Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis team. His two protégés, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, both delivered outstanding performances in the competition, bringing honor to Liu Guoliang and gradually dissipating the controversy surrounding Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal. Prior to the final stage of this Ping Pong Super League, two Olympic heroes, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, issued a statement announcing their forced withdrawal from international rankings. This incident generated immense public pressure, making Liu Guoliang, the head of the national table tennis team, the target of intense criticism. In fact, the forced withdrawal of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng from international rankings marked their departure from the national team, which is quite rare in the history of the national table tennis team. In comparison, since the women's team has many renowned players, the impact of Chen Meng's withdrawal was not as significant. The men's team, however, was already experiencing a shortage of talent, and Fan Zhendong, being in his prime, raised concerns about the future competitiveness of the men's team. In such circumstances, the performance of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, Liu Guoliang's two protégés, during the Ping Pong Super League finals drew significant attention. Both are currently the most popular and sought-after national table tennis players by fans, and they are also representatives of Liu…
