Table Tennis: Super Grand Slam

Chapter 85 Seeded Players

Chapter 85 Seeded Players
4 month 27 day.

There is still one day left until the start of the World Table Tennis Championships in Yokohama.

Nowadays.

The Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships held a press conference and the draw ceremony was broadcast live.

Inside the sports stadium.

Li Ying looked at the TV screen hanging on the wall.

On the side was his sparring partner Lin Wangyuan.

The draw for the men's singles was conducted first.

When drawing lots, the International Table Tennis Federation and the tournament organizing committee will first determine the seeding seats.

"Number one seed, Xia Guo Mengli!"

"The second seed, Ma Qing from Xia Country!"

"The third seed, Xia Guo Li wins!"

"Number four seed, Liang Long from Xia country!"

I heard the ITTF officials announce it.

The Ryuo Table Tennis Association and even other external associations are extremely helpless.

But there is no way.

After all, it was only the Beijing Olympics last year and it is only 2009 now. The Xia country's national table tennis team is indeed at its peak in the world.

There are Mengli and Ma Qing on top.

The new generation, led by Li Ying, the unicorn, dragon, phoenix and turtle, has been rising rapidly and seizing power.

Especially Li Ying.

He has never lost a game since his debut.

So much so that the International Table Tennis Federation has now listed Li Ying as the third seed in the men's singles of this World Table Tennis Championships.

"Brother Ying, you are the third seed."

Lin Wangyuan was very happy.

The attitude he showed was much happier than Li Ying himself.

"What's the big deal? It's just a division of seeded players."

Li Ying didn't quite understand why Lin Wangyuan was so excited.

"Brother Ying, the seeded players are very important. The four seeded players will not be placed in the same division. Moreover, if you can all stay in your respective divisions, doesn't that mean that our Xia country's national table tennis team will sweep the men's singles semi-finals of this World Table Tennis Championships?"

Lin Wangyuan has already begun to imagine this most beautiful scene.

"Ayuan, stop dreaming. Even our head coach doesn't dare to dream this dream. All four teams? Do you really think the overseas troops are vegetarians?"

Li Ying smiled.

In this Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships, not only the seven tigers of the Xiaguo men's team will attack together.

The world's top foreign table tennis superstars are also in place.

The German twins.

French Felix!

Swedish Truss.

Ford of England!
In addition, there is Park Kwang-ho from Asia Goryeo.

There are also players from Ryuo Country, led by Tomoaki Furukawa, including Yasuki Ishii, Atsushi Naganuma and others.

Ryuo Country also signed up seven singles players.

"Brother Ying, although the current table tennis superstars from foreign associations are strong, they still cannot beat you three." Lin Wangyuan was influenced by the national second team.

"That's hard to say. After all, we can pool the national strength to focus on training two or three of them. And in the future, they will definitely be able to compete with our Xia country's national table tennis team." Li Ying said with a smile.

soon.

The complete draw list for men's singles is out.

Monli, 1/4 division.

Ma Qing, 2/4 partition.

Li Ying, 3/4 division.

Diplodocus, 4/4 partition.

"Brother Ying, you are guarding the 3/4 zone alone. There are no teammates in your zone." Lin Wangyuan was sharp-eyed and saw the 3/4 zone where Li Ying was.

Among them, Liu Geng is in the 1/ zone, in other words, in the same zone as Meng Li.

Moreover, when we finally reach the semi-finals, there will be a battle.

The most difficult part is the 4/4 division where Liang Long is located, and he has to fight a big battle with Xu Guinian.

As for Su Yan, he is in Ma Qing's 2/4 division.

In this case.

Seven tigers of the Xia national table tennis team will go to the men's singles competition. Li Ying will guard one division alone, and in other divisions, the Xia national table tennis team will have six tigers. That is a double insurance.

In this case.

The Chinese national table tennis team actually has a very high probability of sweeping the men's singles semi-finals of the Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships. Of course.

The overseas legion does not agree with this.

Followed by.

Li Ying looked at the men's doubles draw.

As for men's doubles, the Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships will also list four pairs as seeds for the tournament.

Men’s doubles No. 1 seed, Ma Qing/Su Yan.

Men's doubles No. 2 seed, Li Ying/Xu Guinian.

The No. 3 seed in men's doubles is the German twin stars Thiem/Dmitriy.

Men's doubles No. 4 seed, Liang Long/Kong Fengge.

among them.

The men's doubles division is divided into upper and lower halves.

The men's doubles No. 1 and No. 4 seeds are in the upper half.

The No. 2 and No. 3 seeds are in the lower half.

In other words.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The men's doubles semi-final may be such a showdown.

Upper half men's doubles semi-finals: Ma Qing/Su Yan VS Liang Long/Kong Fengge.

Lower half men's doubles semi-finals: Li Ying/Xu Guinian VS Thiem/Dimitri.

of course.

There are other strong combinations in men's doubles, such as the Park Kwang-ho combination, the Felix brothers of France, the Ryuokuuni Furukawa Tomoaki combination, etc.

only.

The top four seeded combinations in the men's doubles competition were so brilliant that they completely overshadowed the other men's doubles combinations.

soon.

Chen Daqian appeared next to Li Ying.

"Aying, have you seen the complete draw? The 3/4 zone you are in is full of top players. In order to stop you, the International Table Tennis Federation has sent almost all the top players from other associations to your 3/4 zone. The Xia Guo Table Tennis Association has not made much of a reaction to this, and it is almost a tacit attitude."

Chen Daqian called Li Ying aside and they chatted privately.

"Brother Qian, it doesn't matter. I want to win the Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships, and Brother Meng and Brother Ma also want to win the championship. So, in the end it all depends on the men's singles semi-finals. Also, looking at this draw, if I make it to the top four of the World Table Tennis Championships, I will play against Brother Ma in the semi-finals, and the final will be the winner between Brother Meng and Brother Long." Li Ying said with a smile.

"Hey, Aying, you have to get used to it. Many times, going to the back of a big competition is actually equivalent to playing an intra-team competition." Chen Daqian said with a smile.

That was the case with the three of them.

Often one will play in the semifinals and the other in the finals.

and so.

This led to the mutual hindrance and no one was able to achieve the Grand Slam.

And Chen Daqian has already retired from the national team, so it is impossible for him to become a Grand Slam champion.

Ma Qing has the most hope.

As for Mengli, he has completed one-third of the goal. If he can win the men's singles championship in the Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships, he still has a chance.

But Chen Daqian wanted Li Ying to win the men's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships from now on.

"I understand." Li Ying was eager to try.

only.

See the full schedule.

The first round of men's singles and men's doubles will not be held until April 4th.

The first two days were all qualifying rounds.

Li Ying advanced directly to the main competition, so naturally he didn't need to play any qualifying rounds.

The next few days are also very critical.

Li Ying has to find a way to defeat Mengli and Ma Qing within the fantasy space.

and.

Li Ying was also very curious about Chen Daqian's so-called unique skills.

But Chen Daqian never revealed it.
