再见阿郎

B | 即便女单仍有5名球员闯入八强，林诗栋/蒯曼又一次拿到了混双冠军，全力维系着国乒的体面，但国乒的成绩单，已然“偏科”。中国乒乓球过去最让对手艳羡的集团优势，正在发生什么样的变化？周启豪不敌松岛辉空无缘八强。

C |     United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson has accused the Indian authorities of “arbitrarily” detaining British-Sikh national who has been lodged in a prison in the northern state of Punjab since 2017, according to British media reports.,Johal, a resident of the Scottish town of Dumbarton, has been charged by India’s National Investigative Agency (NIA), the federal counter-terrorism organization, of being a member of banned Khalistan Liberation Front (KLF). Johal was arrested while he was in Punjab for his wedding in November 2017.,The KLF advocates for a separate Sikh homeland, or Khalistan, primarily comprising the Indian state of Punjab. The Khalistan movement in India reached its peak in the 1980s, when a military crackdown on the separatists culminated in the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards, who were unhappy with New Delhi’s actions.,Khalistani Flags, Slogans Found at Himachal Pradesh State Assembly Prompt Police Probe8 May, 08:07 GMT,Johal is one of the KLF aides named in a chargesheet in the killing of Ravindra Gosain, a member of India’s Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), in October 2017. The RSS is the ideological parent of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Johal’s brother in Scotland, who has been running a media campaign, denies the charges levelled against him.,However, his arrest in India, has sparked outrage among Sikh groups in the UK and Scotland, with Opposition Leader Keir Starmer as well as several other Labour Party parliamentarians having urged the Boris Johnson administration to negotiate his release with the Indian government.,“Ministers and officials of the Government have consistently raised the UK’s concerns directly with the Government of India about Mr. Johal’s treatment and his right to a fair trial. We have done so on almost a hundred occasions since Mr. Johal’s detention in November 2017,” Johnson wrote in a letter dated 21 June to Starmer, but it was only reported in UK media on Thursday.,Prior to surfacing of the letter, the United Nations' Working Group on Arbitrary Detention also stated back in May that Johal has been “arbitrarily” detained in India.,It called upon New Delhi to “take urgent action to ensure the immediate unconditional release” of Johal and award him “compensation” as well as other “reparations, in accordance with international law”.,'Promoting Hatred': India Condemns Resolution in US' Connecticut Recognising 'Sikh Independence'2 May, 06:26 GMT,Since his arrest, New Delhi has maintained that Johal’s rights have been respected. At the same time, the Indian government has raised concerns over the activities of Khalistani separatists, many of who are based in the United Kingdom, Canada and even the US.,Johnson was in India for a state visit in April. Back then, he had revealed that the UK was “sensitive” to India’s concerns on Khalistani extremism.,“We have a very strong view in the UK that we don’t tolerate extremist groups. We have set up an anti-extremist task force to help India,” Johnson said during the visit.,More recently, Johnson met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the G-7 Summit in Germany this week. As of now, it remains unclear if the issue was raised during the meeting.,Want to know more?

D | 这种变化似乎还蔓延到了双打。欧洲大满贯男双1/4决赛，林诗栋/温瑞博对阵勒布伦兄弟，法国组合最终淘汰了来自中国的头号种子。女双同样止步八强。王曼昱/蒯曼此前在WTT系列赛中保持了长时间的不败纪录，这一次却被中国香港组合杜凯琹/吴咏琳击败。

E | WTT官方赛后特别提到，这是王曼昱/蒯曼在WTT系列赛女双赛场两年来仅有的第二场失利。此外，王艺迪/陈熠则被日本组合张本美和/早田希娜击败。这几场输球提醒人们：双打项目的竞争，同样开始让国乒感到棘手。王曼昱/蒯曼未能晋级女双四强。过去，国乒拥有足够深厚的单打人才阵容，单打优势很容易转化成双打优势。但如今，外协会也在形成越来越成熟的组合，曾经的单打领先优势，不再意味着双打项目还能高枕无忧。勒布伦兄弟就是一个很典型的例子——他们从单打赛场上的挑战者，已然变成了双打赛场上的有力竞争者。目前，女单依然是国乒最稳定的项目之一，欧洲大满贯进入后半程的中国选手数量依旧可观。

F | 混双则依然保持优势，林诗栋/蒯曼最终再次夺冠，实现卫冕。

G | 中国乒乓球的优势仍在，但追赶者正在迎头而上，竞争者变得越来越多，冠军争夺也开始出现越来越多的“变量”。林诗栋/蒯曼摘得混双冠军。过去国乒最可怕的地方，并不只是某一个人的实力，而是多个项目上的集体统治力——你赢了一个中国选手，还有下一个；你解决了一对双打组合，还有另一对。但这种集团优势，已经没有过去那么理所当然。法国有勒布伦兄弟，日本有张本智和、松岛辉空、篠塚大登，欧洲还有安德斯·林、莫雷加德等一批年轻或进入成熟期的选手。他们未必能彻底颠覆世界乒坛的格局，但却在改变一个很重要的事实：击败中国队，越来越不再是一件只能偶然发生的事情。当越来越多的对手开始找到战胜国乒的方法，中国队过去依靠人员深度和稳定性建立起来的优势，还能不能继续保持？问题已经摆在了桌面上，等待着解答。
