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…

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…

Translation of the article content into English: Once the Asian Cup roster was announced, it was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in the domestic table tennis world. This list from China's national table tennis team, whether for the men's or women's teams, has sparked much controversy. First, let's look at the men's team. Fan Zhendong's omission is undoubtedly the focus of the controversy. As an important force in the national team, his absence surprised many people. On the national team side, Wang Hao only responded to Fan Zhendong's omission by saying that the national team had started building its echelon, but this response did not directly address the public's doubts. The saying "Silence is golden" seems inapplicable in this situation, as this silence instead triggered more speculation and questioning, with some even asking, "Why doesn't Wang Hao mention Fan Zhendong? Is he afraid to bring it up?" Fan Zhendong was invited but ultimately not selected, and without a clear explanation from the national team, this controversy became even more pronounced. Now let's turn to the women's team. Qian Tianyi, who once ranked in the top 10 in the world, failed to make the Asian Cup roster, which also sparked heated discussions among fans. The national women's team's Asian Cup roster includes Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Kuai Man, and Shi Xunyao. Among them, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong are already main players, Kuai Man is the women's singles champion in Doha, and Shi Xunyao is the women's…

Recently, behind the increasingly fierce competition for the women's team Olympic selection spots, there has also been a distribution of internal interests. With Li Sun personally intervening to change the Olympic selection rules and rejecting Wang Yidi, the internal contradictions of the national women's table tennis team seem to have surfaced. In the eyes of fans, Li Sun's official announcement that Wang Yidi was not selected is most embarrassing for Ma Lin. In the view of the outside world, the internal contradictions of the national women's table tennis team have reached a point where head coach Li Sun must speak out. During the Paris Olympic cycle, Ma Lin's selection decisions have sparked extensive discussions and controversies, especially regarding the huge controversy over "who to use between Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi," which has also led to dissatisfaction among fans and netizens. As we all know, Ma Lin attached great importance to Wang Yidi during the Paris Olympic cycle and sent her to participate in major events many times. However, Wang Yidi's record was losing seven external matches, including losing to 61-year-old Ni Xiaolian, as well as five losses to Japanese table tennis players. On the contrary, Wang Manyu has never lost to Japanese female table tennis players and remains undefeated to this day. It can be said that Japanese female table tennis players are intimidated by Wang Manyu. So why did Ma Lin insist on not sending Wang Manyu to compete against Japan in the final of the Busan team event? The head coach of the national table tennis team,…

Well, the recent announcement of the national table tennis team's Asian Cup lineup has really caused a stir! On January 17th, the list was announced at the last minute, and many big names were missing! Chen Meng, Ma Long, and Fan Zhendong, these three Olympic champions, were absent collectively. What's going on? Are they really going to retire? Coach Ma Lin explained Chen Meng's situation, saying that she will not participate in international competitions for the time being, but did not say when she will return. What's in the gourd? Let's talk about these absent "big shots" first. Chen Meng, a world champion with solid strength, her absence has disappointed many fans! You know, she still lacks a World Championship title. If she retires directly, it would be such a pity! However, not participating in international competitions temporarily, what's the difference from retiring directly? Looking at Fan Zhendong and Ma Long, these two are the pillars of the national table tennis team! As soon as the news came out, many people speculated that are they going to retire together? Although Fan Zhendong himself said he hasn't retired, but if he doesn't participate in international competitions all the time, isn't that the same as retiring? This is really confusing! What about the last dance promised at the Paris Olympics? Has it changed? Once this news came out, there were all kinds of speculations flying around online! However, there are also some fresh faces in this list! For example, Chen Yuanyu, Huang Youzheng, Shi Xunyao, Kuai Man and other young players have…

In the women's team final of the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, the national table tennis women's team fought hard for five sets and defeated the Japanese team 3-2, successfully winning the championship and achieving a six consecutive championships. This time in the women's team final, the national table tennis team continued with the previous trio of Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi, while Wang Manyu remained on the bench, not getting a chance to play in the entire elimination round. Sun Yingsha, who played in the first set against Zhang Benmeihe, showed her strong strength and completely suppressed Zhang Benmeihe, defeating her opponent with a score of 11-5, 11-8, 11-4 in straight sets. In this battle for the championship, Sun Yingsha took the lead for the team, and this victory was as easy as turning over one's palm. In the second set, Olympic champion Chen Meng faced off against Japan's number one player, Zao Tianxina. Before the match, Zao Tianxina made a bold statement, saying, "National table tennis (players) are human, India can beat them 2-3, and the Japanese team has a chance to win." As the ace of the team, she was very confident. After the start of the game, both players did not test each other, and they entered an intense exchange. Chen Meng quickly got into her rhythm and won the first set 11-6. In the second set, Zao Tianxina used her serve and changes to counterattack, leveling the score at 11-8. Afterwards, Chen Meng played quite dull and ended up losing two consecutive sets,…

The WTT Singapore Grand Slam will kick off during the Spring Festival. The Chinese national table tennis team participating in this competition includes men's singles: Wang Chuqin, Lin Shidong, Liang Jingkun, Xue Fei, Xiang Peng, Zhou Qihao; women's singles: Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xintong, Qian Tianyi, He Zhuojia. Doubles events: Men's doubles: Wang Chuqin/Lin Shidong Women's doubles: Wang Manyu/Kuai Man Mixed doubles: Lin Shidong/Kuai Man Seeing such a lineup, it's clear that they are all top athletes from the national table tennis team. Of course, other countries also have some top players, but they are not opponents of the national table tennis team. Initially, it was thought that North Korea would participate in this Singapore Grand Slam, and the initial list included North Korea's Kim Chol-yong and Byeon Song-gyeong. However, recently, the two did not participate. Kim Chol-yong should be familiar to everyone; she once defeated China's female player Sun Yingsha 3-2 and even won the silver medal in mixed doubles at the Paris Olympics, so her strength cannot be underestimated. Byeon Song-gyeong is also a very capable player. Therefore, many people say that North Korea does not participate in such events. The only regret this time is Kuai Man. In yesterday's Doha Star Challenge, Kuai Man won the championship through her own efforts. Kuai Man is 20 years old this year. Competing with top players from other countries, she stood out directly. Some time ago, there were people saying that Kuai Man's singles were not good enough, and only when paired with Lin Shidong in mixed…

Recently, the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) announced the latest world rankings. Among the five individual events, the Chinese table tennis team has taken three of them. Compared to the previous period, China has lost another world number one! In the men's singles, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong are ranked first and second! Wang Chuqin leading is not surprising. Lin Shidong, on the other hand, has won the singles titles in five consecutive competitions after the Paris Olympics, including the Chinese Grand Slam title. Lin Shidong's world ranking has soared, currently ranked second. Liang Jingkun and Lin Gaoyuan are ranked fifth and ninth respectively. Among foreign association players, Japanese star Zhang Jike is ranked third. Xiaolei Lun is ranked fourth, with Hugo, Moregad, and Franziska ranked sixth to eighth. In the women's singles rankings, Sun Yingsha leads, followed by Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong ranked second to fourth. Japanese players Hina Hayata, Miyuu Higa, and others are ranked fifth to seventh. In the mixed doubles event, Olympic champions Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha remain at the top of the world rankings, with the Lin Shidong and Kuai Man combination ranked third, and Lin Gaoyuan and Wang Yidi ranked eighth. In the men's doubles, before the year-end finals, the Chinese pair of Xiang Peng and Yuan Licen were ranked first. After the year-end finals, the French Lebrun brothers topped the world rankings after winning the year-end finals. In this issue's world rankings, the Lebrun brothers still lead. It is worth noting that we have lost the world number one…

Translation: Not long ago, the WTT official released the latest rankings. In the men's category, Wang Chuqin ranked first, followed by Lin Shidong and Zhang Benzhihe; in the women's category, Sun Yingsha ranked first, followed by Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xintong. It can be seen that Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng, who previously chose to withdraw from the world rankings, are no longer among them. This means they have completely separated from the WTT. It is worth noting that fans also discovered something else: Ma Long is not in the ranking either. Just as everyone was discussing this matter, the Chinese Table Tennis Association officially announced a message, which is that Fan Zhendong, Chen Meng, and Ma Long have successively withdrawn from the world rankings. The Chinese Table Tennis Association stated, "The Chinese Table Tennis Association and the Chinese table tennis team understand and respect the decision of the three athletes to withdraw from the world rankings, agree to their withdrawal from the world rankings, and have handled all related procedures." Moreover, the Chinese Table Tennis Association also expressed that it will pay attention to the subsequent development of the three athletes and provide them with the greatest support. At this moment, Ma Long has completely joined the ranks of Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng. As for why Ma Long withdrew, there is no definitive conclusion. Perhaps he also wants to rest, or perhaps he is supporting Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng with his actions... Regardless of which one, such a situation has caused a huge loss to…
