beee:)

He's no.1 only for half year😏

[@Alexander-zh8ix]

Wang Chuqin is back to best!!👏👏 Franz played good, but was overcome tactically! Great match!

[@kavinxavier4552]

WCQ remembered he is the world number 1

[@mr__OK]

Maybe worst Chinese #1 ever.

[@Kaspersky114a]

Not maybe, he is the worst. His serve is questionable and that's commonly recognised among Chinese TT fans (including myself who plays regularly in a club) ​@@mr__OK

[@kavinxavier4552]

@@mr__OK that’s that recency bias talking

[@ZoiusGM]

​@@Kaspersky114aI wonder if coaches see illegal serves and if they have ever suggested theit players stopping doing them.

[@Mateus.007]

FZD and LSD are probably better than him.

[@robk7002]

Finally WCQ looks like a champion again!!

[@supetsy8612]

It’s always difficult to remain the same level of capacity and package after Olympics. It’s not uncommon and no difference to all players. Not to mention wcq was and should be a bit traumatized by his Olympics drama. It’s great to see him put himself back together bit by bit.

[@ZoiusGM]

Wdym by 'Olympic drama'? What happened?

[@supetsy8612]

​@@ZoiusGM His main racket was destroyed by cameraman after mixed doubles final, one day before his singles match with Truls. He failed in his singles match, everyone knows. But he managed to pull himself back in team match with his backup racket. I called it drama because no one expected this would happen in the most important sports competition in the planet. But yes, anything could happen though theoretically.

[@Pettzxd]

The King is back?

[@edwingao6307]

The truls vs wcq rematch will probably be great to watch Edit: while wcq hasn't done too well in past tournaments, I still hope he can do better than his last few performances

[@Fyawtfc]

@@edwingao6307 wcq won’t stand a chance, his defeat by others are not by chance his backhand got a lot worse

[@gongtaumaster-h9t]

People were confused when I mentioned that if WCQ wins the first game, it's over. They don't understand that WCQ is a microwave player and is still struggling to get used to competitive conditions in Frankfurt. I would not bet against Wang in Fukuoka. I would not bet against Wang against Truls. If WCQ gets the first game against Truls, I'll say that again. It's over.

[@lipzuben]

Solid tactics - WCQ played everything to the “Franz’s pocket” and it worked…

anybody know what rubber wang chuqin is using backhand?

[@liiou4445]

Orange hurricane 3

[@deovolente220]

Next match will determine the rest of his career. If he loses again against Truls he is done as a top 10 table tennis player and won't come back. If he wins he might have a chance to get the psychological confidence back and return to top 5 world player skills again. In theory he is a much better and skilled player then Truls but Chuqin has not got his confidence back since the olympic defeat.

[@eindoggy5681]

Just won

[@deovolente220]

@eindoggy5681 yeah his career was on line for sure. He did what he had to do. Now he just has to beat LSD in the final.

[@ycjason1]

Even though he won this, WCQ isn't his old self. A lot of mistakes from both side in this game.

[@gongtaumaster-h9t]

All players make mistake during their first game and I'm absolutely fine with it. Ma Long, WCQ, LSD included.

[@SuperShadowmetal]

also, franciska is playing really well, this generation top 30 is REALLY competitive.

[@ycjason1]

@@SuperShadowmetal Maybe it's because of player styles, in this match, neither player stepped back from the table much, so all points are short, what seemed like a lot of mistake might be due the difficulty of countering the attack without stepping back from the table.

[@frankwingbermuehle6110]

He is back but not good enough for Lin.

Can we please absorb the game a bit, @Adam? You can lay off the constant commenting slightly. Some quiet pauses would be nice.

[@hs2336]

Congrats to Wang, Chuqin🎉 Fortunately, Chuqin was fully committed to this match on the 4th round and played well. For all Chinese table tennis players participating in WTT Fukuoka 2024, please take it seriously, because as professional athletes, it is your job to compete, isn’t it? Same as everyone else who goes to their jobs everyday, but one of the differences is that your daily training is covered by the General Administration of Sport of China = national tax revenue & certain sponsors. However, if ordinary Chinese people needed professional training, they must pay for it out of their own pockets. So, please try to focus on each of your competition and don't slack off. Otherwise you will be insulting yourselves. Thanks

[@gongtaumaster-h9t]

You can already tell guys like LGY, LJK have been slacking off like every WTT is a vacation trip. These are the same guys who are leading younger guys like Xiang Peng and Xue Fei. Godness. LSD is probably the only exception there as his brain is born for table tennis.

[@dongiovanni8899]

Funded through dividend from public enterprises, not tax from personal income🤓

[@hs2336]

@@dongiovanni8899 Thanks for letting me know. I did a quick search online. Taking 2024 as an example, the financial allocation of the State Sports General Administration of China was 3.97 billion yuan‼️ Since table tennis is a national sport for China, it is impossible not to allocate funds to it, right? Unfortunately, I did not find the exact amount of funding that the National Table Tennis Team received for 2024, but it should be more than the sponsorship fee, which was almost double according to 2017 data. As for the sponsor's money, 50% of it will be handed over to the National Table Tennis Team and the remaining part will be distributed to local table tennis teams and associations, as well as to coaches and athletes. Therefore, all National Table Tennis Team members have duty to take it seriously and perform well in various competitions. After all, participating in tournaments is their only job to do. If ordinary people who don’t do well or deliver good outcomes for their jobs, would they be fired right away?

[@hs2336]

By the way, I find the American commentator(s) hired by WTT very annoying because they are saying things that I have seen with my own eyes, coupled with the arrogance!

[@Japa_2202]

esse é o top 1 mais inconsistente q vi desde q acompanho tenis de mesa,so ta na frente pelo rank por pontos horrivel q vcs inventaram pra tentar tirar os chineses do top 10 kkkkkk

Well did he? LSD lost to Harimoto and Harimoto lost a 4:0 to WCQ

[@Fyawtfc]

Wcq is in big trouble like how xx had it, for a period of time both s backhand was good that’s when they hit number 1 then both s backhand became a lot worse and xx never made it to play Olympic single. Wcq has the same problem. He can’t beat lsd for sure, his prime is past

[@IgneelS11]

imagine being past you prime being only 24 :D

[@satinwoodter]

was there a time xx had a good BH?

[@Fyawtfc]

@ end of 2019 early 2020 when he beat malong , then Olympic got delayed

[@satinwoodter]

@@Fyawtfc my two cents is it's a stretch to call his RPB good even at that time period. He could make powerful RPB play off the table, but the biggest problem is it's highly unstable and he was not able to use it consistently.

[@Fyawtfc]

@ yes. Wcq has the same issue
