Looking back on the first round, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are the most stable players. They successfully joined forces in the women's singles final, and finally Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha again to win the championship. Zhou won the men's singles title, winning in succession Malone and Fan Zhendong, and all the top four seeds in mixed doubles were out. In the end, Matt/Liu Fei beat Zhou Yu/Chen Xingtong to win the championship. These two games were unexpected results.
Now that Guo Ping has announced the lineup for the Tokyo Olympic Games, the main players will make more targeted preparations. Xu Xin/Liu's focus will shift to the mixed doubles, and the next promotion will be a new test for them. Of course, the unsuccessful players will go all out to win the qualification for the individual World Table Tennis Championships and WTT Grand Slam events, and the competition between the strong countries will still be fierce.
Zhou is the player with the highest score in men's singles at present, but if he wants to get a singles seat in the World Table Tennis Championships, it depends on his performance in the second stop. If he goes out too early, he can't. The reason why Liu held it again and asked for cumulative calculation was to raise the threshold and avoid deciding the result according to the situation of a game. The coaching staff needs young players with good stability.
Many fans think it is inappropriate. Zhou can beat Malone and Fan Zhendong to win the championship, which shows his potential. He should have a chance to take part in the World Table Tennis Championships. However, his qualifications are limited, and the coaching staff has to reserve seats. Therefore, he was very cautious in selecting personnel, which led Zhou to achieve good results in both cross-country races to obtain the coveted qualification.
After the entry list of the Tokyo Olympic Games is confirmed, the main purpose of the second stop of the through train is to test the results of Xiamen training and help the contestants adjust their status. It is a process of finding problems and solving difficulties. Xu Xin and Liu lost in singles, while Lin, Liang Jingkun and Zhu Yuling didn't even get the P card, which will dampen their enthusiasm and inevitably lead to depression.
At present, various associations have successively announced the lineup of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and similar mock matches will be held to make adjustments. I believe the second stop in Guo Ping will be even more exciting. This time, fans can watch the live broadcast, or they can choose to come to the scene to cheer for their favorite athletes. Let's wait and see who will stand out and qualify for the World Table Tennis Championships.
