The 2024 WTT Championships in Chongqing will start on May 30. This is basically the highest level competition before the Paris Olympic Games, with star competitions and challenges behind. It is not possible to see the world's top players gathering together, especially the main national table tennis players. It will take some time to prepare for the Paris Olympic Games.
Two days ago, Ma Long withdrew from the Chongqing Championships, which caused a lot of controversy. Some netizens thought that he was controlling the world rankings. Lin Gaoyuan was successfully replaced by the world rankings. The world table tennis officials announced two wild card places and two nominations. As the host, Guoping is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.
Both male and female wild cards were given to Guoping, namely He Zhuojia and Xiang Peng, and were nominated to Chen Xingtong and American player Karnak.
The wild cards and nominations awarded are certainly not in accordance with the world rankings, because Qian Tianyi and Lin Shidong are higher in the rankings, and they did not win. It is a pity that they did a good job in the recent Saudi Grand Slam. He Zhuojia and Xiang Peng participated in the championship for the first time, and can only say that there was a good signing. It is best to avoid the main team mates in the first round, only 32 signatures, It was hard to play in the first round.
Many netizens said that they were surprised. The men's singles thought they would give Lin Shidong, while the women's singles thought they would give Qian Tianyi. It was not easy for He Zhuojia to get a chance. She had a good record against Japanese players before. In the past two years, she seldom met Japanese main players. Xiang Peng has lagged behind Lin Shidong a lot, and hopes to fight as soon as possible.
Chen Xingtong has always been the fifth main player in the national table tennis women's team, and the championship can only be played by the top four players. If he wants to participate in the championship, he needs to rely on wild cards or nominations. Last year's Xinxiang and Macao championships relied on wild cards and nominations.
Karnak Jaha only recently lifted his ban and won the qualification for the Paris Olympic Games. He has certain strength. He has reached the top eight men's singles at the World Table Tennis Championships and cooperated with Wang Manyu in mixed doubles. Later, he was suspended for one year because of anti doping. He returned in March this year and was in good shape. He swept Shunzuka Dadeng, defeated An Zaixian and won the regional championship. He is only 24 years old this year, The future is still foreseeable. He has defeated Zhang Benzhihe, Lin Yunru, Huang Zhenting and other famous generals before.
A total of 11 members of Guoping won the Chongqing Championships. Six women's singles were Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong and He Zhuojia. Five men's singles were Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and Xiang Peng.
All competitors gathered in Chongqing, including Le Bulun, Zhang Benzhihe, Zhang Yuzhen, Lin Yunru, Zaoda Shina, Zhang Benmeihe, etc.
