Who is the strongest player in table tennis singles in history

I think the strongest female table tennis player in history should be Deng Yaping, and the strongest male table tennis player should be Ma Long.

Whether or not I know the sport of table tennis, I think Deng Yaping should be a household name. The most important reason is that Deng Yaping is really very powerful. Deng Yaping started playing table tennis at a very young age, and when she was 16 years old, she won the first gold medal of her own.

Later, she overcame all the obstacles and was always a leader in the women's singles competition. Whether it was in Barcelona or Atlanta, she won many gold medals in her own right. And she managed to become the first person in history to win four Olympic gold medals.

Until now, she is also the longest female athlete in the history of table tennis world rankings, so from this point of view, Deng Yaping is indeed the strongest female athlete in the history of table tennis.

Speaking of male athletes, I think the strongest should be Ma Long, although there are many excellent table tennis players before Ma Long, such as Wang Hao, Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, etc., but I think in terms of comprehensive strength, Ma Long may be relatively strong.

In fact, many table tennis players have won world gold medals, but Ma Long is also a person who has won a super grand slam.

Ma Long is not only great in table tennis skills, but most importantly, he is also very serious about table tennis. He showed the bearing of a Chinese athlete on the field, although he looked white and clean, as if he had no lethality, but when he was on the sports field, the whole person was shining.

Strongest Male Athlete:

Liu Guoliang, born on January 10, 1976 in Fengqiu County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, is a Chinese table tennis player, former head coach of the Chinese table tennis team, and currently the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association.

Liu Guoliang began to play table tennis at the age of 6, and was selected for the national youth team in 1989 and the national team in 1991. Liu Guoliang has won the men's singles world championship many times, and has cooperated with his teammates to win the men's doubles world championship and mixed doubles world championship, and has won the men's team world championship with his teammates many times as the main player.

From June 2003 to April 2017, Liu Guoliang took over the coaching and successively served as the head coach of the Chinese table tennis men's team and the head coach of the Chinese table tennis team. Liu Guoliang, who was a coach, led the Chinese table tennis team to win more than 30 international championships.

Whether in terms of honor or strength, Liu Guoliang is the strongest male athlete in table tennis singles in history!

Strongest Female Athlete:

Zhang Yining, born in Beijing on October 5, 1981, is a former Chinese female table tennis player and currently the assistant to the president of the China Table Tennis Academy.

Zhang Yining started playing at the age of 6 and entered the Beijing team in 1991 and the national team in 1993. In 2000, Zhang Yining won the women's team championship and the women's singles runner-up at the 45th World Table Tennis Championships. In 2001, Zhang Yining won the women's team championship of the 46th World Table Tennis Championships, and in the same year, Zhang Yining also won the World Cup women's singles championship and the women's team championship of the Ninth National Games.

In 2004, Zhang Yining cooperated with Wang Nan at the Athens Olympics to win the women's doubles championship and won the women's singles championship. In 2005, Zhang Yining won the women's singles championship at the 48th World Table Tennis Championships and achieved the Grand Slam of the individual World Championships, the Olympic Games and the World Cup. In 2006, at the World Table Tennis Championships in Germany, Zhang Yining led the Chinese team to win the Babylon Cup for the 16th time.

At the end of the year, Zhang Yining was ranked No. 1 in the world. In 2008, at the Beijing Olympic Games, Zhang Yining cooperated with Guo Yue and Wang Nan to win the women's team championship, and then defeated Wang Nan in the women's singles final to successfully defend the title. Four years later, he won the double championship again.

Since winning her first three-major women's singles title at the World Cup in 2001, Zhang Yining has won five World Cups and two World Championships, as well as two of the heaviest Olympic women's singles gold medals. Partnered with Wang Nan to win an Olympic women's doubles gold medal, a three-time World Championships women's doubles gold medal, and won the first table tennis women's team gold medal at the 08 Beijing Olympics. Zhang Yining won 19 world championships together in the three major competitions, surpassing Deng Yaping.

For Zhang, her career as an athlete has been perfect.

Because of his outstanding personal strength, he is known as the big demon king of table tennis.

From the comprehensive comparison of personal honor and ability, Zhang Yining is the strongest female athlete in table tennis singles in history!

The strength of table tennis in my country has always been very strong, it has lasted for decades, and there are some talented people among them, but I think it also has a lot to do with our coaching team.

The first table tennis gold medal won by China was won by Rong Guotuan at the World Table Tennis Championships, and it was precisely because of this gold medal that table tennis fever arose in China.

The five Grand Slam players in the history of table tennis are all athletes from our country. The female athletes are Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Zhang Yining, Li Xiaoxia, Ding Ning, of which the first four have won the highest level of table tennis National Games medals, of which Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining have also defended their championships consecutively.

Among the men, the strongest among the men, Kong Linghui, Liu Guoliang, Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, Ma Lin, Ma Long, Zhang Jike, etc., these athletes are all people who have won the world championship. Among them, the most Xinhua singles player is the big demon Zhang Yining, Zhang Yining herself has shown extraordinary talent for table tennis since she was a child, when his father sent her to a sports school to train table tennis.

In the first national junior competition has achieved very good results, at the same time Zhang Yining is also the best athlete at the same time, he has a Grand Slam winner Wang Nan in front of him, in the 08 Beijing Olympic Games, Zhang Yining defeated his sister in one fell swoop, completed his Grand Slam, and then announced his retirement. We can see Zhang Yining's strength from several things.

At the Beijing Olympics, he met Ai Fukuhara in the group stage. Ai Fukuhara has been training in China since she was a child, and she basically plays against Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, Ai Fukuhara's strength is already the strength of the big devil in Japan, the first sister of Japanese table tennis. However, in the Olympic Games, Zhang Yining was often beaten and cried at that Olympics, Zhang Yining led her by nine balls at the beginning, for the friendship between the two countries, it is an unwritten rule not to play the opposite bald head, and deliberately made a mistake in serving and looked back at the coach.

When asked why he let it do this, Zhang Yining said that he was afraid of Ai Fukuhara's suicide ball.

At the same time, Zhang Yining is the second person to defend the National Games championship, and it is difficult for this kind of talent to appear since Deng Yaping. The excellent table tennis players at the National Games are very, and the overall strength level exceeds that of the Olympic Games, so winning the championship at the National Games is the biggest confirmation of their strength.

This year's gold medal in the National Games is still contested by Li Xiaoxia and Ding Ning, both of whom are very strong people. So defending the title at the National Games is the best proof of this.

Zhang Yining can defend his title twice in a row and is the most Grand Slam winner, the strongest athlete in history, and deserves to be the big devil in the table tennis world.

I think the strongest male athlete in table tennis singles in history is Liu Guoliang, and the strongest female athlete in table tennis singles in history is Deng Yaping.

Liu Guoliang began playing table tennis at the age of six, and was selected for the national youth team in 1989 and the national team in 1991. Liu Guoliang, who was an athlete, won the men's singles world championship many times, and cooperated with his teammates to win the men's doubles world championship and mixed doubles world championship. As a key player, he has won the men's team world championship with his teammates many times, and is the first table tennis player to adopt the technique of straight and horizontal shooting in an official competition and succeed.

It is the first Grand Slam winner in the history of Chinese men's table tennis to set the Olympic Games, World Table Tennis Championships and World Cup champions. In April 2017, Liu Guoliang stepped down as the head coach of the Chinese table tennis men's team and served as the vice chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association. In August 2018, Liu Guoliang was shortlisted as a candidate for the 2nd IOC Lifetime Coach Award, and in 2018, Liu Guoliang served as the chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, and was the first athlete in China to win the Olympic table tennis men's singles championship, and is one of the most influential athletes and coaches in the table tennis world at home and abroad.

Deng Yaping began to learn to play table tennis at the age of five. In 1982, nine-year-old Deng Yaping won the table tennis women's singles championship in the national amateur sports school divisional competition. In 1988, 15-year-old Deng Yaping won the national youth table tennis women's singles championship again, and in November of the same year, Deng Yaping officially entered the Chinese table tennis team, and in the Asian Cup of the same year, Deng Yaping won the women's singles championship in the final.

On May 6, 1991, in the women's singles of the 41st World Table Tennis Championships, Deng Yaping, who was only 18 years old, eliminated Li Fanji, the runner-up of the women's singles at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, with a record of 3-0 in only 45 minutes, and won the world women's singles championship in one fell swoop. In the same year, he won the Samaranch Cup International Table Tennis Championships held in Matsu Prefecture, Japan. In 1992, as the absolute main force of the Chinese team, she participated in the Barcelona Olympics and finally won two gold medals in women's singles and women's doubles at the Barcelona Olympics.

In 1995, Deng Yaping won three championships in women's singles, women's doubles and women's team at the World Table Tennis Championships. In 1996, at the Atlanta Olympics, Deng Yaping won two gold medals in women's singles and doubles again, during which Deng Yaping has ranked first in the world women's table tennis for eight consecutive years. From the late 80s to the late 90s of the 20th century, Deng Yaping almost dominated the singles and doubles championships of major tournaments, and called this period the "Deng Yaping era" of table tennis.

Of course, she is also the first female athlete in the history of Chinese table tennis to win a Grand Slam.

The competition in men's table tennis is very fierce, and there are often twin stars in various eras, Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui, Wang Liqin, Ma Lin, and Wang Hao claim that there are two kings and one horse, and today's Ma Long and Zhang Jike are like this! There is no strongest, as long as it is stronger, there will be stronger athletes in the future, and now Fan Zhendong has great potential in this regard, and he may be strong and terrible if he is given two years!

Deng Yaping, born on February 6, 1973 in Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, is a former player of the Chinese women's table tennis team, an Olympic champion, and a table tennis Grand Slam winner.

At the age of 5, Deng Yaping began to play table tennis, and in 1988, she officially entered the national team. In 1989, Deng Yaping, who was only 16 years old, won the women's doubles championship in her first participation in the World Table Tennis Championships. In 1992, at the Barcelona Olympics, as the absolute main force of the Chinese team, she won two gold medals in women's singles and doubles.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Deng Yaping replicated the miracle of four years earlier, becoming the first person in China's Olympic history to win four Olympic gold medals. In September 1998, Deng Yaping officially announced her retirement.

Deng Yaping has won a total of 18 world championships in her 14-year sports career, and she has maintained the world's No. 1 ranking in table tennis for 8 consecutive years, making her the longest-ranked female athlete in the history of table tennis.

The strongest male and female players in table tennis singles in the history of sports are Liu Guoliang and Deng Yaping.

Born in 1976, Liu Guoliang is China's first Grand Slam winner and the first table tennis player to use the technique of straight and horizontal shooting and bring it into the game. Prior to this, players who held a table tennis racket diagonally had a wider range and a more consistent shot. Although it is easier to control the incoming ball with a straight grip on the table tennis racket, the backhand position is a weakness, not no one has tried to play straight and oblique before, but because the angle is too tricky, it is difficult to form a continuous attack, if the opponent suddenly changes direction, it is too late to adjust the posture of the forehand grip, it is easy to lose points, but Liu Guoliang has perfectly overcome this point and achieved great success.

Born in 1973, she is the same generation as Liu Guoliang and the first person in China's Olympic history to win four Olympic gold medals. But Deng Yaping's personal talent is not good, she is only 1.55 meters tall, although she holds the racket obliquely, but she is limited to the lack of height and arm length, she needs to run often when playing, and it is a little unbearable to meet athletes who are good at stretching the ball, but her attack is sharp and her toughness is also very sufficient, and she has made up for this shortcoming with her acquired efforts, because the achievements in women's singles are too prominent, and she is called the Deng Yaping era.

In addition, there are many excellent table tennis players in China, who are also inexplicable in their contemporaries. Wang Liqin and Zhang Yining are among the best, here, Wang Liqin's old opponent Ma Lin is most similar to Liu Guoliang, but at that time the weight of table tennis has been adjusted, so it is more powerful to hit, Wang Liqin belongs to the athlete with long arms and height, occupying an innate advantage, unless he is not in good shape, it is difficult for Ma Lin to beat him.

Zhang Yining, who is known as the first sister of table tennis, is known for her calmness, she is very calm whether she wins or loses, her style of play is a bit masculine, and her technical level is a step higher than that of athletes of the same era.
