Table tennis WTT Championships in Montpellier, France, will kick off on 22 October this year, the World Table Tennis Federation has officially announced the first batch of shortlisted athletes, whose Chinese table tennis team line-up has once again aroused concern, not only did the three main players who withdrew from the WTT Championships in Macao in September, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, and Chen Meng, once again absent, but also another Olympic Champion, Wang Chuqin, will not be taking part in the tournament.
It’s worth mentioning that the recently improved 19-year-old star Lin Sidong has managed to get to the top and qualify, and is also ranked among the top four seeds in the men’s singles. There are signs that the coaching staff has begun to speed up the process of replacing the old with the new and the juniors are starting to get more and more opportunities!
The WTT Championships is an important event for the WTA, and it only hosts the men’s and women’s singles events, which is a great test of the athletes’ individual abilities, and is therefore of great interest to the fans and friends of the tournament. Right at the beginning of September, Macau, China hosted a stop of the WTT Championships, but at that time, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng all gave up to participate, and Wang Chuqin stopped in the quarter-finals of the men’s singles, and was eliminated by Lin Sidong in a cold spell.
After the Macau tournament, Lin Sidong, who won the championships against Harimoto Tomokazu, Lin Yunru, Wang Chuchin and Qiu Dang, rose to the 7th position in the world rankings, surpassing Lin Gaoyuan and ranking the Chinese table tennis team 4th, and many fans have called on the coaching team to give him more opportunities to play outside, which has been realised now.

According to the official release of the official website of the World Table Tennis Federation (WTTF), the athletes who were automatically shortlisted at the time of the deadline for registration were Hugo, Liang Jingkun, Junior Lebron, Lin Shidong, Lin Gaoyuan, as well as Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, Hina Hayata, Chen Xingyong, etc. It is because this list is ‘the’ list that is ‘the’ list, which is ‘the’ list.
It is because this list is ‘automatically shortlisted’ to produce, so the world ranking Wang Chuqin, Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Chen Meng list of no name can prove one thing, that is, their absence is because of their own to give up the site of the game, this arrangement naturally triggered a close attention to the fans, especially in the prime of life Wang Chuqin The withdrawal of Wang Chuqin, who is in the prime of his life, is the subject of much debate.
At the end of the Paris Olympics, Wang Chuchin stopped in the last 32 of the men’s singles, losing to Sweden’s Moregard; and in the first match after the Olympics – the WTT Macau Championships, Wang Chuchin stopped in the last 4 of the men’s singles, losing to Lin Sidong. Since then, Wang Chuchin has been rumoured to be enrolled in the Beijing Xiannongtan Gymnasium and absent from the WTT Montpellier Championships, which inevitably has fans thinking about him.
But perhaps Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Chen Meng has entered the retirement countdown, but for only 24-year-old Wang Chuqin, his career is far from the time to leave the field, the absence of this championships is likely to be just a temporary rest, do not have to worry too much.
