Wang Liqin needs to regain his confidence

Wang Liqin, who also won the World Championship singles championship in the first half of the year, had such a difficult time in the second half of the year. His world ranking fell from first to third. In the second half of the year, he won zero championships. Even in domestic competitions, he lost to unknown young players and was in a sluggish state.

In fact, Wang Liqin's skills are still comprehensive, and his psychological quality is not a big problem. It's just that relatively speaking, the cautious Wang Liqin will be conservative during the game. Judging from Wang Liqin's current training status, he is very confident that he can break the championship drought in the finals. In the training before the game, Wang Liqin seemed very relaxed and methodical, but judging from his training match with Chen?", he performed very relaxedly. When he made some incredible mistakes, he would laugh happily and had no psychological quality. It was a hard and stressful performance. He also objectively evaluated the competition venue, enthusiastically took photos with volunteers and fans, and signed autographs with them. However, when talking about his 2008 dream, he seemed to be "high-profile". At one point, he was not only confident in his participation in the Beijing Olympics, but also said boldly, “My goal is to win the championship, whether it is a team or individual event. "It seems that Wang Liqin is determined to achieve good results in this competition. His opponent in the first round is teammate Hao Shuai. Hao Shuai, who has been suffering from injuries recently, should have difficulty resisting Wang Liqin's progress. He just entered the quarterfinals. After that, Wang Liqin is likely to face Chen?" Chen Xi, who is eager to prove himself in singles competition, should not let Wang Liqin pass easily.

Ma Lin faces challenges

Ma Lin's status has been ups and downs in 2007. Now, he Ranked second, sandwiched between Wang Hao and Wang Liqin. Although she ranked well, Ma Lin did not have a decent singles championship this year. She lost to Wang Liqin again in the World Championships and finished second. She lost to Liu Chengmin in the World Cup quarter-finals and Ma Lin in the year-end finals. The last chance. In addition, as Ma Lin grows older, her physical strength declines, but his playing style determines that he needs physical strength. Therefore, the competition is not easy for Ma Lin. Fortunately, he was lucky in the first round. It is Japanese player Han Yang, but after entering the next round, he may encounter German player Boll. Based on the combined strength of the three, if Wang Hao passes Liu Chengmin, he has the highest chance of winning, followed by Wang Liqin. There are six players in the Chinese team participating in the men's singles competition, so the possibility of foreign players breaking through is very small. Ryu Seung-min, who is in the best condition, has recently been affected by the resignation of his domestic coach. This will objectively clear the way for the Chinese team to win. Obstacles.
