On November 29, the 2021 Houston World Table Tennis Championships produced its first championship. In the mixed doubles final that day, the four players facing each other across the net were all “post-00s”, namely Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha of the Chinese team, and Zhang Benzhihe and Hina Hayata of the Japanese team. In the end, the combination of Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha 3: 0 cleanly defeated the opponent to win the championship.

Mixed Doubles Finals “Lean to One Side”

Although the mixed doubles event has existed for a long time, it will not be included in the Olympic family until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Japan hopes to use this event as a breakthrough to break the national table tennis monopoly, and then replace the national table tennis dominance in the world table tennis. At the Olympic Games, the combination of Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen sent by Guoping entered the finals all the way to the final. It was the combination of Hayat Mizutani/Mima Ito who had high hopes from the host. In this duel, Xu Xin/Liu Shiwen won first and then lost. This was the only gold medal that Guoping lost at the Tokyo Olympics.

In the mixed doubles event of the World Table Tennis Championships, due to Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen not participating and the retirement of Mizutani Falcon, it seems that no combination has absolute strength. The first seed of the tournament is Lin Yunru/Zheng Yijing and Sun Yingsha from Chinese Taipei. Wang Chuqin met this pair in the semi-finals, 3:1, and the two “post-00” teenagers of the National Ping Pong Group advanced to the final. In the other semi-final, Zhang Benzhi and Hayada Hina defeated the Sino-US combination Lin Gaoyuan/Zhang An until the final game. It is worth mentioning that because there is no competition for three or four players, Zhang An, an American player among the top four, won the third place in the event. This is also the first World Table Tennis Medal won by the American team.

Although there are not many matches in the mixed doubles event, the four players in the finals are still familiar with the characteristics of the opponent’s play. For Guoping, the physical condition of Sun Yingsha in the third line is not dominant. However, Zhang Benzhihe has lost the confidence of the past due to his recent poor form. He just said before the game that he would do his best. The progress of the game was easier than expected. In the first game, the two young players of Guoping scored 6:0 and won by 11:2. In the second game, the two players scored 5 points after 6:5 and made another victory. In the third game, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha executed the strategy of grabbing the start well and took a 7:3 lead. Although they were subsequently beaten and recovered by their opponents for 3 points, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha finally won by 11:8. Not only is the national table tennis the first championship in this competition, but also the first championship for the two men to participate in the mixed doubles event of the World Table Tennis Championships.

Missed all the championships

At this World Table Tennis Championships, due to the absence of Ma Long and Xu Xin, the young players of the National Table Tennis Men’s Team are facing tremendous challenges. In the men’s doubles competition, Guoping sent two pairs of Wang Chuqin/Fan Zhendong and Lin Gaoyuan/Liang Jingkun, but unfortunately, they all failed to enter the finals. They were eliminated by the little-known Swedish combination Karlsson and France. Lk.

The Swedish team ranked only 31 in the men’s doubles world, but they played very bravely in this competition. In the quarter-finals, Karlsson/Falke upset Wang Chuqin/Fan Zhendong 3-2. Later in the semi-finals, the two played against the Chinese combination again and continued their excellent performance in the previous game, sweeping Lin Gaoyuan/Liang Jingkun 3:0.

The national table tennis missed the men’s doubles final, which also meant that it could not win all the championships of this World Table Tennis Championships, and it was also the first time in recent years to lose the championship of the World Table Tennis Championships. In the World Table Tennis Championships from 1993 to 2019 (Note: the 2020 World Table Tennis Championships were cancelled due to the epidemic), the National Table Tennis Championships won the championship in all 13 competitions except for the “strategic abandonment” of the men’s doubles event in 2013.Yan Bin, All-Media Reporter of Xi’an Press
