Tehnika igre in slog

Wang Chuqin je levičar in uporablja shakehand prijem. Njegov slog igre temelji na:

  1. Močan topspin forehand
  • Ima zelo širok zamah in odlično rotacijo.
  • Njegova žoga po odboju pospeši in se dvigne, kar nasprotnikom otežuje blokado.
  1. Izjemno hiter backhand
  • Igra zelo blizu mize.
  • Backhand uporablja agresivno — ne samo za blok, ampak za napad.
  • Pogosto prehaja iz backhand kontrole v takojšen topspin udarec.
  1. Servisi
  • Poznan je po kratkih servisih, ki ustvarjajo rotacijo in prisilijo nasprotnika v dvig žoge.
  • Rad nadaljuje z takojšnjim tretjim udarcem.
  1. Hitrost in stabilnost
  • Po igri se pozna “kitajski šolski slog”: malo neprevidnih napak, veliko prilagajanja na nasprotnika.
  • Mnogi trenerji ga opisujejo kot kombinacijo moči in preciznosti.
