In the cold winter season, the flames of the Doha Star Challenge are about to ignite. For Qian Tianyi, who is at a critical juncture in her career, this match is not only the first battle of the new year but also an important opportunity to prove herself. When most of the national table tennis team's main players are busy with winter training in Hainan, this seemingly ordinary international event may become an important turning point for the new generation of national table tennis players. At the beginning of the 2025 season, the WTT Doha Star Challenge chose a special time node. The schedule from January 8th to 11th coincides with the key period of the Chinese national team's winter training in Hainan. This overlap in time forced the national table tennis team to make a balance in their selection of participants. The final list of participants shows that many main players, including Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong, have chosen to continue their training on the field. Among the top ten ranked players in the world, except for China's main players, Ito Mima from Japan has also chosen to be absent. In the list of the top twenty in the world, famous players such as Polkarnova, Diaz, Tian Zhixi, and Yuan Jia-nan did not participate either. This situation seems to reduce the competitive quality of the game, but for the aspiring new generation of players, it creates a rare opportunity instead. Qian Tianyi's situation is particularly noteworthy. As the current world No. 11 player, she is…

In a recent match of the Table Tennis Super League, a controversial edge ball became the focus of attention and sparked a storm of public opinion both on and off the court. Sun Yingsha believed the ball had touched the edge and insisted on appealing, while Qian Tianyi firmly stated that the ball did not touch the edge. The referee ultimately refused to review the play. This incident ignited the emotions of the fans, and Qian Tianyi's post-match comments further fueled the controversy. Let's go back to the match scene. Sun Yingsha and Qian Tianyi were facing each other in a tense match when a ball that appeared to have touched the edge passed over the table from under Qian Tianyi's racket. Sun Yingsha raised her hand to signal the edge to the referee, but the referee did not accept it and even refused to use replay technology to confirm. Qian Tianyi was adamant that the ball did not touch the edge, and the standoff quickly spread from the court to the stands and even to the countless viewers watching the live broadcast. Does this scene seem familiar to you? Ping-pong fans around the world may have similar experiences - edge balls are one of the most common controversies in table tennis matches. Such judgments heavily rely on the referee's visual observation, but after all, humans are not infallible, and missing or misjudging is normal. Sun Yingsha is no stranger to such focal points in her career. For example, in a certain open tournament in 2022, she also became the…

In the arena of the Chinese Super League (乒超联赛), every player's performance is under the spotlight, and Qian Tianyi is no exception. After the league, her social media activity sparked a huge uproar, with many fans launching fierce criticism and angry messages in the comment sections. The catalyst for this controversy was a seemingly ordinary yet contentious edge ball call. During the match against Sun Yingsha, whether or not the ball touched the edge became the crux of the conflict. Sun Yingsha keenly noticed the ball touching the edge and requested a replay from the referee, but Qian Tianyi insisted that it did not touch the edge. The referee ultimately denied Sun Yingsha's request. This moment, like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, created ripples. Afterwards, the emotions of the fans were like flames ignited. They began to express their dissatisfaction with Qian Tianyi on social media. A flurry of critical comments emerged, with accusations such as "dirty play" appearing out of nowhere, which undoubtedly severely defamed Qian Tianyi's playing style. Even worse, some people suggested that her boyfriend, Wang Chang, should change girlfriends, a statement that has deviated from the scope that sports competition should have, more of a malicious personal attack. Some fans also targeted her achievements and efforts, completely disregarding her hard work on the court. Adding insult to injury, Qian Tianyi's post-match interview remarks further escalated the controversy. She complained about the noise from the fans at the scene affecting her performance during the interview. This could have been a normal response from an…

Recently, the table tennis super league stage has played two intriguing "controversial dramas," unexpectedly reaping a full warmth and sportsmanship. This can't help but make people sigh: In competitive sports, sometimes the most touching stories often happen outside of gains and losses. First, let's talk about the highly anticipated finals between Wang Manyu and Tan Yuxuan. The game was in full swing when suddenly, a seemingly ordinary return caused the entire venue to fall into a brief "cold field." The situation at that time was as follows: Wang Manyu hit the ball back, and Tan Yuxuan beautifully completed the counterattack. It looked like a normal round, but because of a "double touch table" controversy, the game had to be suspended for nearly 10 minutes. "How many times did this ball hit?" The audience discussed animatedly. The commentators hurriedly played the slow-motion replay and carefully studied every detail. Through the slow motion, it could be seen clearly that the ball did not actually double touch the table, and Tan Yuxuan's counterattack could be said to be quite a beautiful shot. However, surprisingly, the referee eventually ruled that the ball should be re-served, and this score that originally belonged to Tan Yuxuan was thus cancelled. At this critical moment, the performance of the two players was eye-catching. There was no excessive debate, no loss of composure, and the game continued as if the previous controversy had never happened. Next, let's talk about another focus match - Sun Yingsha against Qian Tianyi. The situation was equally thrilling at the time: Yingsha relied on…

In the grand stage of the Ping Pong Super League finals, the spotlight shone brightly and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme. The peak confrontation between Sun Yingsha and Qian Tianyi, two female national table tennis players, was instantly ignited by a highly controversial edge ball. At a critical moment, would the referee's mistaken call become the key to determining victory or defeat? Could Sun Yingsha complete an astonishing comeback in adversity? Suspense began to spread from this moment... During the third set of the match, with the score tightly contested and every point gripping the heartstrings, Sun Yingsha's return brushed the edge of Qian Tianyi's side of the table like a ghost, almost imperceptibly. However, the referee's whistle sounded at this moment, awarding the point to Qian Tianyi. Sun Yingsha was momentarily stunned; she was convinced it was a good shot. Immediately, she protested to the referee, but the referee did not respond and did not even review the play, maintaining the original decision. At this moment, the atmosphere on the court instantly solidified, and controversy erupted. Facing Sun Yingsha's protest, Qian Tianyi, as the opponent, chose silence. She did not express any opinion but silently prepared for the next serve. This silence may have been out of respect for the referee's decision or perhaps to avoid escalating the controversy further. While Sun Yingsha, despite her unsuccessful protest, did not lose heart. Her eyes sparkled with an indomitable light, as if telling everyone: I will not give up! Despite being affected by the misjudgment, Sun Yingsha seemed to…

Sasha, representing Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng, faced Qian Tianyi in a match where the score was tied at 1-1. In the third set, with Sasha leading 8-7, a controversial moment occurred during their rally. Sasha, being very perceptive, heard the sound of the ball hitting the table and believed it was a net touch rather than out of bounds. However, Qian Tianyi, possibly not paying attention due to the intense competition, indicated that there was no net touch. Sasha insisted on her position, having played for over a decade and being able to hear such subtle sounds, knowing it was the sound of a net touch. She sought assistance from the referee, requesting to review the Hawk-Eye replay. Initially, the referee seemed indifferent, but Sasha explained that if the ball goes directly off the table, there would be no sound, but a net touch would be audible, and she had indeed heard it. The referee appeared somewhat unhappy and responded that there was no sound, but Sasha continued to request the Hawk-Eye review. It's unclear whether the review took place, but the point was ultimately awarded to Qian Tianyi. In this match between Sasha and Qian Tianyi, netizens felt indifferent about which player received the point, and there should be no blame placed on Qian Tianyi, as she has the right to advocate for herself if she genuinely did not see or hear the net touch. We, as fans of Sasha, must approach this issue fairly and justly, avoiding accusations without substantial evidence that the opponent knowingly lied about…

This year's Wang Manyu in the table tennis super league left a deep impression on people. Although Wang Manyu had fewer appearances due to illness in the first stage of the table tennis super league, after leading Shandong Luneng to defeat Sun Yingsha, who led Shenzhen University, Wang Manyu won the championship and roared to the sky twice in an unusual manner. Why did Wang Manyu make such an unusual move? Where did the usual gentle and elegant Wang Manyu go? In fact, Wang Manyu was determined to win this year's table tennis super league championship because Shandong Luneng has three main players of the Chinese women's table tennis team: Wang Manyu, Chen Xintong, and Qian Tianyi. It is difficult for any other team to compete with Shandong Luneng in terms of overall strength. However, the final process of the table tennis super league was unexpectedly tough, and it was not easy for Wang Manyu to win this year's table tennis super league championship. Sun Yingsha from Shenzhen University successively defeated Wang Manyu and Qian Tianyi with a score of 3:2 in the second and fourth sets. However, Sun Yingsha's two teammates failed to score a point. In the first set, Kuai Man and Tan Yuexuan lost to Qian Tianyi and Chen Xintong with a score of 1:3. In the third set, Kuai Man lost to Chen Xintong with a score of 1:3, and in the fourth set, Tan Yuexuan lost to Wang Manyu with a score of 2:3. The final process of this year's table tennis super league was…

Sun Yingsha protested an edge ball during the Ping Pong Super League match, but the referee ignored her, and Qian Tianyi remained silent. Deng Yaping was right. In this Ping Pong Super League match, Sun Yingsha played with such intensity that it was heart-wrenching to watch, especially regarding the controversial edge ball call that created an uneasy atmosphere throughout the stadium. However, Sun Yingsha proved herself with her skills. The competition site was particularly lively that day, with spectators holding their breath as they watched the intense match between Sun Yingsha and Qian Tianyi, two post-00s players. Their thrilling duel became even more suspenseful when the score reached 1-2, making the atmosphere on the sidelines tense. Sun Yingsha's serve is particularly interesting; she always manages to introduce new variations at crucial moments, which caught Qian Tianyi off guard several times. However, Qian Tianyi's reactions are genuinely swift, sometimes managing to return seemingly impossible shots. Both players were fully engaged, exchanging blows until both sides of the table were covered in sweat. The coaching staff on the sidelines anxiously rubbed their hands, fearing any mishaps from their athletes at key points. By the third set, the atmosphere on the court had become unbearably tense, especially concerning the edge ball call, which was quite distressing to watch. The referee's handling of the situation was somewhat uncomfortable. Sun Yingsha's expression at that moment was particularly helpless. When she approached the referee to argue her case, her anxious demeanor made everyone empathize with her urgency. However, the referee refused to review the play, which…

In the men's team final of the 2024 Ping Pong Super League Finals, Shandong Weiqiao faced Huangshi Base. In the second match, which was a focus of attention, Wang Chuqin emerged victorious over Lin Shidong with a score of 3-2 (6-11, 12-10, 11-4, 6-11, 11-5), helping Shandong Weiqiao take a 2-0 lead in the overall score! After winning this crucial match, Wang Chuqin let out a loud roar to the sky, releasing his pent-up emotions, which clearly showed how difficult it was to win this match, as Lin Shidong's play made him very uncomfortable. This also indicates that Wang Chuqin still needs to further strengthen his emotional control; with his abilities, he might not have needed to go all five sets to determine the outcome, but his often impetuous temperament may limit his performance. In the women's team final that concluded earlier, Shandong Luneng, represented by Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi, narrowly defeated Shenzhen University, represented by Sun Yingsha and Kuai Man, with a score of 3-2, securing the championship. With "three women making a drama," the girls' finals often generate more topics, and two controversial incidents occurred. The first incident involved Sun Yingsha questioning whether her ball had touched the edge during her match against Qian Tianyi from the national team, as she heard a sound. However, Qian Tianyi denied it, and the referee did not allow a replay review, directly awarding the point to Qian Tianyi. This incident caused a huge uproar, as Sun Yingsha has many fans, and most of those criticizing online are female,…

On January 1st, Beijing time, the women's team final of the Ping Pong Super League finals saw a fierce battle between Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng. The match went to five sets before a winner was decided. Despite Sun Yingsha scoring two points, Shenzhen University fell short with a 2-3 defeat to Shandong Luneng, securing the runner-up position in the Ping Pong Super League finals. Led by Wang Manyu, Shandong Luneng emerged as the champions and the biggest winners. First Set (11-5, 7-11, 5-11, 11-13): Xuan/Tianyi 1-3 Qian Tianyi/Chen Xingtong. Shenzhen University lost the first set, which was expected. Both Qian Tianyi and Chen Xingtong are main players for the national table tennis team, having participated in many international competitions. Although they are not considered absolute core players, they are already capable of competing with several Olympic champions. Second Set (9-11, 4-11, 11-9, 11-7, 11-5): Sun Yingsha 3-2 Wang Manyu. This set was particularly stressful for Sun Yingsha, especially after falling behind 0-2 in the first two games. In the third game, Sun Yingsha made a comeback with an 11-9 victory, and her state continued to improve, eventually reversing the situation against Wang Manyu. Sun Yingsha celebrated with a clenched fist, and the battle between the world's number 1 and number 2 did not disappoint the fans, being hailed as the most exciting match in the Ping Pong Super League so far. Third Set (8-11, 5-11, 11-7, 7-11): Man 1-3 Chen Xingtong. Man was defeated by Chen Xingtong, showing a gap in skill. Chen Xingtong contributed two points for Shandong…
