In the 2024 wtt Singapore Grand Slam men's singles 1/16 finals, Fan Zhendong, the first brother of the national table tennis team, lost to Lin Shidong 1-3 and missed the chance to defend the title in advance. Fan Zhendong's elimination in this way immediately aroused widespread concern from the outside world Attention, many people have analyzed the reasons for Fan Zhendong's loss.
Before the start of this game, Fan Zhendong also took the time to watch Taylor Swift's concert, so many people questioned that Fan Zhendong was not focused on the game, which led to early elimination, but from many aspects , Fan Zhendong lost not only for this reason, but for other reasons. First of all, Lin Shidong has the strength to compete with top players. He has defeated Fan Zhendong before. Although Fan Zhendong was injured and was forced to withdraw from the game, Lin Shidong has pushed Fan Zhendong into danger more than once. It can be seen that the strength gap between the two sides is not big, and there are many factors that affect the outcome of the game. Fan Zhendong went to watch the concert before the game, which more or less affected his competitive state. In addition, Lin Shidong's newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. , launched a fierce attack as soon as they came up, and took the lead before Fan Zhendong had a stable foothold. This may be the fundamental reason why Fan Zhendong lost the game.
In addition, Deng Yaping has previously pointed out that Fan Zhendong has many problems, such as being unable to fully release his energy during the game, not daring to impact the opponent too much, and not handling details well enough. Zheng Yaping also made suggestions in this regard, that is, Fan Zhendong needs to improve his mentality and then use different tactics against his opponents. Especially when facing aggressive opponents, he needs to understand how to adjust his rhythm and maintain a good mentality during the game. and confidence. In addition to Deng Yaping, former national table tennis coach Liu Guozheng also talked about Fan Zhendong's problem. Liu Guozheng said that Fan Zhendong has occupied the world's number one position for a long time, which is enough to illustrate his excellence, but it also means that his opponents They are all studying him. Many players have the mentality to defeat Fan Zhendong and go all out. In addition, Fan Zhendong's playing style and ball path have gradually become fixed, so it is easy for his opponents to target him. This has led to Fan Zhendong's performance in some games. The game was very tight.
In fact, Fan Zhendong's state in the past year has not been stable, with very obvious ups and downs. Especially in the competition with teammates, Fan Zhendong is no longer as strong as before. In recent times, Fan Zhendong has lost to Wang Chuqin consecutively, which directly led to He gave up the top spot in the Olympic selection points. Although Fan Zhendong performed relatively well in the previous Busan Team World Table Tennis Championships, this cannot cover up Fan Zhendong's current problems. I hope the national table tennis coaching staff can help Fan Zhendong adjust. Good condition to avoid this happening again.
