Confirmed Ball Letting? Sun Yingsha's Internal Battle Contrast Too Great, Post-match Words Worry Fans About Another Let In the WTT Incheon Championship women's singles semi-finals, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Yidi 4-0 with scores of [11-9, 11-9, 12-10, 11-7]. It is worth noting that just two weeks ago, in the WTT Singapore Grand Slam singles semi-finals, Chen Xingtong defeated Sun Yingsha 4-2, who had no desire to win. Afterward, Chen Xingtong also strangely lost 0:4 to Wang Yidi, changing her full-blooded state against Sun Yingsha. These two matches were considered by outsiders at the time as technical adjustments by the national table tennis leadership to adjust Wang Yidi's points, and there was also public opinion that it was compensation for Wang Yidi's withdrawal from the Olympic women's singles quota. The national table tennis team has had a tradition of letting balls for the past two or three decades, from Jiao Zhimin's 8-year 5 lettings, from Ni Xiaolian being forced to let balls and then moving to Luxembourg, to He Zhi Li refusing to let balls and moving to Japan. Fans have reason to believe that Sun Yingsha made concessions for her teammates within the team. Returning to this match, after scoring, Sun Yingsha did not even look back, her incredible touch was unmatched. Even in Wang Yidi's strong point of holding the ball, Sun Yingsha was not inferior, completely dominating the game. Her spin, placement, rhythm changes, and mid-to-long-range rallies proved that she is the number one forehand among women, Sun Yingsha! Once Sun Yingsha plays an internal battle with the…

At the end of 2024, Sun Yingsha, a focal figure in the table tennis world, failed to appear at the championship matches in Germany and France. She also faced a fierce challenge from her teammate Chen Xingtong in the WTT annual finals, ending her run in the first round. This undoubtedly brought unprecedented pressure and challenges to the young national player. Sun Yingsha, the little flower of the table tennis world, shone brightly in the World Cup with Wang Chuqin, showing great chemistry in mixed doubles and full fighting spirit in women's singles, with a promising return to the peak! With the lifting of the mixed team World Cup trophy, Sun Yingsha's world champion title quietly increased to the sixteenth. This trophy is not only a recognition of her efforts but also the best interpretation of her indomitable spirit. In Chengdu, Sun Yingsha not only gained honor but also felt the warmth and support from the fans. During the "National Table Tennis Enters Campus" event, she had a radiant smile on her face, interacting affectionately with the children, sharing the joy and dreams brought by table tennis. During the event, a special figure caught her attention - her mentor Qiu Yike's daughter, Little Pea. Their interaction was warm and interesting. When bidding farewell to Chengdu, Sun Yingsha wrote affectionately on social media: "Once again, I hold the mixed team championship on this hot land, which is the result of the team's joint efforts. The international schedule for 2024 has come to an end, thank you to everyone who accompanied me…

Can you imagine? Sun Yingsha, who has won so many championships and is battle-hardened, is actually playing in the Asian Cup for the first time. The list for the 2025 Asian Cup has been released, with Sun Yingsha leading the charge. Normally, it's no surprise to see Sun Yingsha on the list; her strength speaks for itself, and her influence is huge, ensuring ticket sales. Hosts everywhere hope that Sun Yingsha will participate. Let's give new fans a brief introduction to the Asian Cup event. In football and basketball, the Asian Championship and the Asian Cup are basically the same thing, but in table tennis, the Asian Championship is separate from the Asian Cup, which is completely different. The Asian Cup was originally one of the most important events in Asian table tennis, distinct from the Asian Championship in that it only features men's and women's singles. The Asian Cup has had a tough journey since its inception in Wuxi, China in 1983, held annually but repeatedly suspended due to various reasons. The last time the Asian Cup was held was in 2022, with the men's and women's singles champions being Tomokazu Harimoto and Wang Yidi, respectively. In the following years of 2023 and 2024, the Asian Cup was once again put on hold until it resumed in 2025, this time in Shenzhen, with the number of participants increasing from 20 to 32 for both men and women. You'll notice that the national team has sent 12 players each for men and women, and other associations, including Japan, have also…

The Asian Cup table tennis tournament is set to resume, providing a much-needed boost for the Chinese national team. For young players eager to showcase their skills on an international stage, this competition offers a tailor-made opportunity not just for competition but also for testing, training, and taking flight. For spectators, it's a long-awaited feast of table tennis, with familiar faces returning to the court in a flurry of activity. Speaking of the women's national team, the lineup for this year's Asian Cup is a highlight. Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi are already confirmed, while the participation of Sun Yingsha has become a focal point of attention. From the coaching staff's arrangement, Ma Lin's preference is clear; he seems more inclined to rely on his disciples, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi. The reason is not hard to understand; Wang Manyu has been in scorching form recently, akin to an ice lolly melting in summer, her name frequently under the spotlight as a multiple women's singles champion, earning unwavering trust from the coaching staff. As for Wang Yidi, her status as the 2022 Asian Cup champion has already secured her a spot in the competition. Such confidence is unshakable. However, the suspense surrounding Sun Yingsha's participation has become a hurdle for many fans. As the world's top-ranked player, her abilities are unquestioned, with stability and dominance being her hallmarks. Yet, the harsh reality is that the Asian Cup has limited spots, and Wang Yidi's secured place along with Wang Manyu's hot streak have made Sun Yingsha's chances uncertain. Some may ask…

With the Chinese table tennis team sweeping all five gold medals at the Paris Olympics, the competition and confrontation in the table tennis events during the Paris Olympic cycle have finally come to an end. From the results, the Chinese table tennis team emerged as the sole winner. Of course, such an outcome is bound to be met with dissatisfaction from some quarters. For instance, the Japanese table tennis team certainly has its own aspirations. However, the Paris Olympics are now a thing of the past, and a new Olympic cycle has arrived! The Japanese table tennis team has also made adjustments, including a change in coaching staff, in the hope of breaking China's dominance at the Los Angeles Olympics. Recently, the Japan Table Tennis Association announced the appointment of their new head coaches. The men's team will be led by Kishikawa Kento, while the women's team will be coached by Nakazawa Toshio. They are set to officially take up their positions in April this year. Upon learning that Nakazawa Toshio will become the head coach of the Japanese women's table tennis team, many fans are worried about the prospects for the Chinese women's team. Why is this so? Please read on! Firstly, Nakazawa Toshio's coaching abilities are commendable. In 2016, Hirano Miu won the gold medal at the Women's World Cup, and in 2017, Ishikawa Kasumi clinched the mixed doubles title at the World Table Tennis Championships. Nakazawa Toshio was the mentor to both Hirano Miu and Ishikawa Kasumi. Including current players like Tomokazu Harimoto and Miyuu Kihara, many…

Lin Shidong emerged victorious with a 4-0 win over Qiu Dang to claim the men's singles title, while Sun Yingsha also triumphed with a 4-2 victory in the women's singles final, securing gold medals for the national table tennis team once again on home soil. Lin Shidong has become the biggest dark horse in men's table tennis, simultaneously addressing the issue of successors for Ma Long and Fan Zhendong. Born in 2005, Lin not only defeated Japan's Zhang Ben Zhihe but also won against Lin Yunru and Wang Chuqin. In the men's singles final, he secured a decisive 4-0 win against the German dark horse. Sun Yingsha, the world No. 1 in women's singles, successfully defended her title by defeating Wang Yidi 4-2, earning an additional 1000 points to maintain her top ranking. Liu Guoliang's plan was a great success, as the Macao WTT event saw the national team sweep all the championships. The match between Lin Shidong and Qiu Dang can be described as "easy," given that Lin, who is nine years younger than his opponent born in 1996, held a clear advantage in terms of technique and style of play. It's no wonder he's been dubbed the "new version of Fan Zhendong." Lin Shidong had already joined the national table tennis team in 2020 and won the gold medal at the National Youth Gold Standard Championships. He has since accumulated numerous men's singles titles, making his championship victory today the result of long-term efforts. Ultimately, credit must go to both himself and coach Wang Hao. Sun Yingsha's success…

As a seasoned sports blogger, my favorite sport to watch is the national table tennis team, especially the Shatou combination. I also have a special fondness for Xiaopang (Fatso) and Longdui (Dragon Team). Let's take a look at the latest news from the national table tennis team today. Ma Long attended the Milan Fashion Week and even watched the show with Li Xian, sitting next to him without being overshadowed. In fact, he seemed to surpass Li Xian in presence. Dressed in a cold white skin tone and a blue jacket, Ma Long exuded a full sense of gentlemanliness. His image was reminiscent of a youthful college senior, making one wonder if he had gone to participate in a campus event. That day, besides Ma Long attending the fashion week, his wife also accompanied him, which was truly romantic. This couple is truly a sight to behold wherever they go, with Longdui maintaining his charm from years past and his wife remaining as beautiful and charming as ever. I'm completely sold on this couple, haha! After watching Longdui, let's take a look at the latest developments of former Hebei player Zhong Ze Rui. He has recently taken over the Japanese team and boldly declared that he aims to approach China's goal of winning gold medals, which seems quite arrogant. Recently, the Japan Table Tennis Association announced the new cycle of coaching staff, with An Kawaichi and Zhong Ze Rui appointed as head coaches of the men's and women's teams respectively. Zhong Ze Rui is not Japanese; his original name is…

For table tennis players, the established rule is to "judge status by Grand Slam achievements." If you want to have a higher ranking in the history of table tennis, Grand Slam achievements are the entry-level requirement (significant contributions to tactical innovation and the globalization of table tennis should also count). Currently, 11 Grand Slam players have been born. They are: Waldner, Deng Yaping, Liu Guoliang, Wang Nan, Kong Linghui, Zhang Yining, Zhang Jike, Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong. From the current situation, the closest active national table tennis players to the Grand Slam are: Chen Meng, who is missing a World Championship singles title; Sun Yingsha, who is missing an Olympic singles title; and Wang Manyu, who is missing an Olympic singles title and a World Cup singles title. So, as of now, what is Sun Yingsha's real-time record in the three major competitions? Let's take a look together. Olympic Games: 3 gold + 2 silver Two-time Olympic women's team gold medalist: 2021 Tokyo / 2024 Paris One-time Olympic mixed doubles gold medalist: 2024 Paris (with Wang Chuqin) Two-time Olympic women's singles silver medalist: 2021 Tokyo / 2024 Paris Sun Yingsha participated in the Olympics for the first time in her career at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, where she won both team and singles qualifications. In the singles competition, she lost to Chen Meng and won a silver medal; in the team competition, she teamed up with Chen Meng and Wang Manyu (replacing Liu Shiwen) to win the gold medal, which was Sun Yingsha's first Olympic gold…

Sun Yingsha's 46-year-old senior brother appointed as head coach of Japanese women's table tennis team, vows to win Olympic gold, claiming strength is close to Chinese team On January 19th, the Japan Table Tennis Association held a press conference in Tokyo, officially announcing the new head coaches for the men's and women's teams. The new male team coach is 37-year-old Kishikawa Kento, while the new female team coach is 46-year-old Nakazawa Toshio. It is worth noting that Nakazawa Toshio and Sun Yingsha are from the same school, both having played for the Hebei Provincial Table Tennis Team under the tutelage of famous table tennis coach Yang Guangdi. Nakazawa was teammates with Ma Lin, and Sun Yingsha is his junior sister from the same school. In other words, Sun Yingsha's senior brother has become the head coach of the Japanese women's table tennis team, which has sparked heated discussions among netizens! After becoming the head coach of the Japanese women's table tennis team, Nakazawa Toshio showed great ambition at the press conference, vowing to win the Olympic gold medal and frankly stating that their strength is close to that of the Chinese team. Nakazawa said in front of the media, "I am deeply honored to be entrusted with this important task, but I also feel a heavy responsibility. I want to build the Japanese women's table tennis team into an even stronger team. The strength of the women's group is closer to the Chinese team than ever before, and the goal for the women's event is only the gold medal. To…
