In the Doha Star Challenge held at the beginning of January 2025, Japanese player Zhang Benmei will participate in the singles event, replacing French veteran Yuan Jia'nan who withdrew due to reasons. This change has resulted in three out of the top five seeded players in the Doha Star Challenge being from Japan, namely Zhang Benmei, Hina Hayata, and Saya Todo. In addition, other three Japanese female table tennis players, Miyuu Nagasaki, Mima Ito, and Misuzu Hirano, will also compete in this event. Looking at the lineup, the Japanese women's team has almost sent all their main players, making it highly likely for them to win the championship, which also adds many highlights to the event. It must be said that the rise of Japanese women's table tennis in recent years has been rapid, with their increasingly strong performance on the international stage. This time, they have almost mobilized all their forces, undoubtedly exerting great pressure on other teams and making fans look forward to their performance. In the WTT Singapore Grand Slam event scheduled for the end of January, the seeded pairs for men's and women's doubles have been officially announced. In the men's doubles, the French Lebrun brothers have become the top seeds with their strong strength, followed by the Chinese pair of Lin Shidong and Wang Chuqin as the second seeds.

At the beginning of 2025, Sun Yingsha's various actions after the Table Tennis Super League have been particularly noteworthy. She officially said goodbye to the 2024 Table Tennis Super League and publicly expressed her gratitude to the fans. Her sense of gratitude has shown her sincerity and low-key attitude. At the same time, she announced her decision to return to the national team to prepare for the Singapore Grand Slam and Asian Cup, a decision that has made many fans look forward to her future performance. In the 2024 Table Tennis Super League, Sun Yingsha performed quite well. Although Shenzhen University did not successfully retain the championship in the end, her fighting spirit in the competition won the respect and affection of many people. Especially during the women's team finals, Shenzhen University and Shandong Luneng had an intense match. Although it was a bit of a pity to lose with a score of 2 to 3 in the end, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Manyu and Qian Tianyi in the women's singles matches, twice helping Shenzhen University level the score, which is impressive. Looking back at Sun Yingsha's 2024, it was truly a year of great harvest. She scored 9900 points in women's singles, ranking first in the world, winning 13 championships and 4 runner-up titles. In the Table Tennis Super League, she also contributed a lot to Shenzhen University. On December 30, 2024, the three-day "New Year's Carnival" for table tennis fans officially began at the Shanghai Stadium. The Shenzhen University team led by Sun Yingsha competed against the Shanghai…

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…

At the beginning of the new year, the table tennis world witnessed an intriguing "double-faced" event. Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, who were fiercely debating over a ball on the court in the morning, were seen smiling and participating in activities together in the afternoon. This scene allowed us to witness the unique charm of professional athletes. Let's rewind to the morning of the first day of the new year in 2025. During a critical moment in the fifth set of the fourth game in the women's team final, a seemingly ordinary return triggered a ten-minute "debate" on the court. "Wait, did the ball hit twice?" The audience clearly remembers that the Shenzhen University team members almost simultaneously stood up. As the captain, Sun Yingsha was keenly focused and captured this detail at the first moment. On the other side, Wang Manyu was not to be outdone and immediately requested a video replay from the referee. This move instantly intensified the atmosphere at the scene. After all, in such a crucial moment, every point could determine victory or defeat. "You see Sha Sha's expression!" The fans at the scene couldn't help but whisper, "That's what a captain should look like!" Indeed, Sun Yingsha led her teammates towards the referee's stand, serious yet polite, and began communicating with the referee. Wang Manyu also insisted that her shot was completely in compliance. Two world-class champions thus engaged in a "battle of wits" on the court. "This doesn't look like opponents, it's like two lawyers in court!" Some fans jokingly commented. Indeed, their…

Translation of the article content into English: Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha have indeed demonstrated their high-level skills and fierce competition in multiple encounters throughout 2024. In these seven matches, both players often fought until the decisive game, especially in the World Cup and the Women's Team Final of the Table Tennis Super League, where Wang Manyu was reversed by Sun Yingsha despite leading 2-0. These matches left a deep impression on fans. Fans believe that Wang Manyu needs to increase tactical changes, especially after her opponent adapts to her tactics, as relying solely on hard power is difficult to win. Sun Yingsha can flexibly change tactics in passive situations, limiting opponents and demonstrating her excellent adaptability. Following the end of the Paris Olympics, competitors have conducted more in-depth research on Sun Yingsha, particularly at the Asian Championships, where Kim Jin-young and Hina Hayata have defeated Sun Yingsha, showing their adaptation and countermeasures against Sun Yingsha's tactics. In matches against Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu rarely employs tactics to mobilize the opponent's forehand position, which may be related to her playing style. Wang Manyu excels in the first three shots attack, which is her main scoring method. In her rallies with Sun Yingsha, her backhand holds up well, so there is no necessity for changes in landing points. However, as the match progresses, once Sun Yingsha adapts to Wang Manyu's attacking lines, Wang Manyu needs to make more changes in the first three shots to avoid being countered. Wang Manyu mentioned in an interview that Qian Tianyi's match against Sun Yingsha…

In the recently concluded Ping Pong Super League final, we witnessed heart-wrenching scenes. Wang Manyu and Lin Shidong, these two rising stars of the ping pong world, struggled amidst the fervor of their fans, experiencing emotional outbursts, which are extremely rare in their usual matches. This scene not only evokes sympathy but also provokes deep thought about the future direction of the national ping pong team. 🌀 Wang Manyu: Outburst Under Calmness 🌀During the intense women's team final, Wang Manyu's dispute with Sun Yingsha and the referee led to a 10-minute suspension of the match. For her, known for her calm demeanor, this is extremely unusual. Online opinions are divided, with some accusing her of being a sore loser, while others believe she was protesting against excessive fan interference. Regardless, Wang Manyu's rare outburst and passionate celebration undoubtedly released immense pressure. 🌀 Lin Shidong: Loss of Emotional Control 🌀In the men's team final, Lin Shidong faced similar difficulties when playing against Wang Chuqin. The one-sided support from the audience caused this emotionally stable player on the international stage to lose control multiple times. After the game, Lin Shidong's cautiousness evoked a sense of sadness. 🌀 The Double-edged Sword of Fan Culture 🌀Wang Manyu and Lin Shidong's experiences remind us of Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong from before. They were victims of fan culture; Chen Meng was plagued by cyberbullying, and Fan Zhendong withdrew from international events due to harassment from fan culture. Now, with Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng's withdrawal, Wang Manyu and Lin Shidong have become new focal points.…

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.

On the first day of the new year in 2025, a seemingly ordinary ball caused a ten-minute halt in the Women's Team Final of the Ping Pong Super League. The match between Shandong Luneng and Shenzhen University became one of the most talked-about topics in the sports world due to a controversial refereeing decision! During the decisive fifth game with both sides tied at 2-2, the match between Wang Manyu and the 18-year-old rookie Tan Yuexuan took on particular significance. When Wang Manyu was leading 2-1, a seemingly simple return caused a huge stir. This ball, which had a rolling net characteristic, appeared to have bounced twice according to Wang Manyu, while Tan Yuexuan believed she had successfully saved the ball when it only bounced once. The on-site referee initially ruled in favor of Wang Manyu, but this decision immediately sparked strong dissatisfaction from the entire Shenzhen University team. Sun Yingsha led the request to review the video footage, and the Shenzhen University coaching staff also lodged a protest. In slow-motion replays from multiple angles, the ball seemed to have indeed bounced only once before being saved by Tan Yuexuan, forming a stark contrast with the initial ruling. At this point, the atmosphere at the match reached boiling point. The Shandong Luneng side also expressed dissatisfaction with the developing situation, and Wang Manyu repeatedly argued her case with the referee. In such circumstances, the head referee had to intervene to mediate. After nearly ten minutes of intense discussion, a compromise decision was ultimately made: the original ruling was cancelled, and…
