In the just-concluded table tennis wtt Singapore Grand Slam, Fan Zhendong, the world's number one player in the national table tennis table tennis, suffered an upset. He lost to the 18-year-old Lin Shidong 1-3. Not only did he miss the men's singles championship, but he also The battle ended after only two games, which was shocking.
In fact, before the game started, Fan Zhendong fell into the whirlpool of public opinion because he took time to go to the concert of singer Swift Swift. Many people criticized him for not focusing on the game. So is this really the case? What are the reasons for Fan Zhendong's upset loss? Let’s take a closer look.
First of all, Lin Shidong's strength has reached the top level in the table tennis world, and he has already had the strength to defeat Fan Zhendong.
As early as 16 years old, Lin Shidong defeated the national table tennis Olympic champion Xu Xin, and later overturned the main players of the men's team Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan and others. Although Lin Shidong's latest battle with Fan Zhendong ended with the latter withdrawing due to injury, Lin Shidong has already pushed Fan Zhendong into danger in other previous events.
Obviously, the gap between the two is very small, winning or losing is only a matter of millimeters. Whoever performs better on the spot may win. In this Grand Slam, Lin Shidong was full of momentum. He is not afraid of tigers as a newborn. He is more relaxed mentally than Fan Zhendong. His technical error rate is low and his tactics are effective. I personally think this is the main reason for the final result of the game.
Secondly, although Fan Zhendong turned the tide at the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, it cannot cover up his sluggish state in the past year.
It is undeniable that Fan Zhendong's performance at the Busan World Table Tennis Championships was very conspicuous. He scored 2 points from the Korean team, which was better than Wang Chuqin and Ma Long who lost. But it was a foreign war after all and he would not meet his teammates. Since winning the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban last year, Fan Zhendong's competition within the team has not been smooth. His consecutive losses to Wang Chuqin made him lose the top spot in the Olympic points.
And aside from the civil war, Fan Zhendong's foreign performance in the past year has also been ups and downs. It was not until he made great achievements in the World Table Tennis Championships that he finally felt proud. But even so, from the overall performance point of view, Fan Zhendong still has not returned to his peak state. The defeat cannot be said to be very unexpected, and he must not relax because of the battle in Busan.
Finally, how big is the impact of the concert? This is a matter of opinion.
Athletes are also human beings. Besides playing basketball, they have other hobbies and interests. There is nothing to blame for participating in a concert of your favorite singer to release your mood. Since Fan Zhendong can come out, it means that he has been recognized by the national table tennis coaching staff. As long as There was no violation of discipline and there was nothing to say.
personally believes that this kind of life thing may not be the main reason for Fan Zhendong's loss. On the contrary, it is because the fermentation of public opinion generated by this incident may have an impact on him, especially after the first round of the game, the on-site reporter specifically asked When it comes to this matter, it may not become invisible pressure on Fan Zhendong, but I personally think that this is by no means the main reason why he lost to Lin Shidong.
