In the final, Wang Chuqin once again won the championship with a clean sheet Ma Long with his super performance.
Summing up the competition, Wang Chuqin said that he was very happy to win the championship, but he also said that there were some problems in the Xinxiang and Macao competitions, and the start was always a little slow and hot, and it needed to be improved. He said: "After this stop, many problems have been exposed, but we still need to learn from experience and go all out to fight Durban." I gave myself a 100 score for this performance. ”
After the Macao Championship, Wang Chuqin will go to Chengdu with China Table Tennis for closed training to prepare for the Durban World Table Tennis Championships in May. As the main member of the men's table tennis team, Wang Chuqin will fight in the third line at the World Table Tennis Championships, in addition to singles, he will also partner Fan Zhendong and Sun Yingsha to participate in the men's doubles and mixed doubles competitions respectively.
Looking forward to the next World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Chuqin said frankly that there is definitely pressure, but what is more important is to be able to resist pressure and release pressure on the field. "In this process, the positioning should be clear, which is also a new topic in the training stage in Chengdu, and it is necessary to put into training as soon as possible to strengthen everything." Wang Chuqin said.
