As soon as the results of the Singapore draw were announced, some fans believed that Chen Meng had drawn the upper draw, successfully avoided Wang Manyu, and had the opportunity to rush to the championship. As the core main force of national table tennis, the women's singles champion of the Tokyo Olympic Games, in fact, in terms of Chen Meng's strength, no matter what kind of signing is drawn, she has the strength to rush the championship. If it is only the signing situation, Chen Meng's signing may not be good, and the challenge for her is also very large.
The detailed signatures of the women's singles seeded players are as follows:
Zone 1/4: Yingsha Sun, Shiwen Liu, Hina Hayata
Zone 2/4: Wang Manyu, Du Kaixuan
Zone 3/4: Wang Yidi, Chen Xingtong, Hirano Miyu, Han Ying, Ito Mimachi
Zone 4/4: Zheng Yijing, Ni Xialian, He Zhuojia, Hitomi Sato, Chen Meng
The first round of playing the ball is a test for Chen Meng's playing style
Fans who are familiar with Chen Meng believe and know that Chen Meng plays hard every time he cuts the ball. Habitual slow heat, not fast, insufficient change, and like to play with the ball, which makes Chen Meng often worried when playing the ball. In this Singapore competition, the first round of the competition adopted a 5-game, 3-win system, which was also unfavorable for Chen Meng. Once the heat is slow, or if the opponent is dragged into a familiar rhythm, the game will be difficult to play. Hitomi Sato is a chipper, but also has a strong ability to counterattack, and Ri Ping Pong is familiar with Chen Meng's playing style, which also adds uncertainty to the game.
Without Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong are also difficult opponents
Sun Yingsha is the first in the world, Chen Meng is second in the world, and these two people automatically divide the upper and lower half of the area, and they cannot draw together. Wang Manyu is the fourth in the world, and the probability of Chen Meng drawing her is 55 kai. Since the Nanyang Direct Pass, Chen Meng has never won Wang Manyu again, losing consecutive battles. In this lottery, Chen Meng avoided Wang Manyu, which is a good thing, but it cannot be said that it is all a good thing. It is precisely because of consecutive losses that I believe that the player that Chen Meng focused on preparing for in this game is also Wang Manyu, who has already made efforts.
For Chen Meng, the threat of Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong is also very large, and it must not be taken lightly. Last year's wtt World Cup finals, Wang Yidi defeated Chen Meng. In last year's simulation match, the National Games, Chen Xingtong beat Chen Meng in a row, and was once considered by fans to be one of Chen Meng's nemesis. Wang Yidi fought Chen Xingtong in the first round, and only one of the two could advance, which was a good thing for Chen Meng, and the preparation could be easier.
Having not played against Ito for two years, Chen Meng needs to play more focused
Before the World Cup, the Olympic Games, Ito Yingsha defeated Ito Mimachi, and Chen Meng won the championship. Therefore, Chen Meng has been questioned by many fans, and it is Sun Yingsha who plays the role of demining. This Singapore competition gave Chen Meng a chance to prove himself, a chance to dispel doubts. He was in the same district as Ito Mimachi, but was said by the fans that he had drawn the upper draw and drew a good draw. For Chen Meng, this is indeed a bit unfair, no matter how the lottery is drawn, it will be questioned.
Against Ito, Chen Meng was the only player in the national table tennis team to remain unbeaten. However, the biggest problem here is that Chen Meng has not fought with Ito Mimachi for about two years. Whether she is familiar with her playing style and tactics needs to draw a question mark. Although the national table tennis research on Ito Mimachi has made some progress, this does not mean that it will be able to show it all in the game. There are too many uncertainties in competitive competitions, and two players who are both high-level players, the impromptu performance of the game is the key.
This Singapore match is very critical, related to the singles quota of the Asian Games. I believe that Chen Meng will go all out to strive for better results. Bless Chen Meng, I hope she can play a good state. Come on!
