Houston World Table Tennis Championships did not win the championship, but also let Chen Meng lose the fastest Grand Slam this record, not Chen Meng's strength regression, nor Chen Meng's poor state, but the women's table tennis replacement is too fast, the reserve strength is sufficient, not only the impact on the veteran, but also the Middle Generation of players formed a lot of pressure. And Chen Meng's world number one also appeared suspenseful, because Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng only had a gap of 600 points. Chen dreamed of once again proving that he was still the number one player of the national table tennis women's team, and the best time was not the Asian Games.
Some people say that Chen Meng's strength and state still need to be proved. The Women's Singles Champion at the Tokyo Olympics, the weighty champion, has proven it all, but as the national table tennis players have said it best. When walking off the podium, everything will start from scratch, and Chen Meng is also preparing for his next stop.
Three years later, at the Paris Olympics, is it possible for Chen Meng to become one of the women's table tennis trio? As far as the current state is concerned, the strength of Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha is bursting, Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi are close behind, Chen Meng has felt the pressure, if he can become one of even one of the group trio, it is also Chen Meng's very happy thing, after all, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu's state is maintained until the Paris Olympic Games, and the women's singles candidate should be none other than her.
For Chen Meng, if there is still a chance to compete for the main force of national table tennis, the best time is not the Asian Games, because the Asian Games for national table tennis players, generally a new generation of forces to participate, the use of such a big competition, so that young players through the game to increase experience and experience, enhance strength. And Chen Meng lost the championship in the last Asian Games, that should be the best time for Chen Meng, and next year's Asian Games, Chen Meng is likely not to appear in the women's singles competition.
Compared with the Asian Games, Chen Meng hopes that the Paris Olympic Games can appear in his own figure, so next year should be an opportunity for the national table tennis coaching team to give a clear signal, that is, the 2022 Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships.
We know that in the 2019 Tokyo Team World Cup, Sun Yingsha became famous in one battle, defeating Ito Mimakoto to help the national table tennis team to win the team World Cup, and next year's Chengdu Team World Table Tennis Championships will be a very important competition. The national table tennis coaching team will also arrange the national table tennis players according to the status of the players and the preparation ideas.
At the 2020 Busan World Table Tennis Championships, when the national table tennis team held a direct race with the strongest 12 people on the surface, Zhu Yuling won the championship and also passed through the World Table Tennis Championships, but it was cancelled due to special reasons, and Wang Manyu lost the qualification for Zhu Yuling's participation. Next year's Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, if there is still a direct qualification, then Chen Meng should compete for the qualification for this team World Table Tennis Championships.
Take the current state of Chen Meng and the results of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup. Chen Meng's advantage is not large, and among the five main players, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong are likely to occupy four seats. Then Chen Meng also has a great chance of being selected, but Chen Meng needs to recover from injury as soon as possible, train systematically, and improve his state, because the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships will be held in April next year. There is not much time.
In addition, if Chen Meng is selected for next year's Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, then the national table tennis will give an obvious signal, that is, in the team final of the World Table Tennis Championships, only three players can participate in the final, and the ranking of one single, two singles and three singles will also determine who is the main player of the national table tennis in the future time.
summary
For Chen Meng, the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships is the best time for Chen Meng to prove himself again, if the national table tennis coaching team still believes that Chen Meng is the main player preparing for the Paris Olympic Games, then Chen Meng still has the opportunity to impact the Paris Olympic Games, if the Chengdu team World Table Tennis Championships give obvious signals, then Chen Meng's hope of participating in the Paris Olympic Games will be very slim. So these months are a very critical time for Chen Meng.
