As a key competition of the year, the singles quota at the Asian Games is highly anticipated. Although there is still some time before the start of the race, the competition for places has basically entered a white-hot situation. From the selection rules that have been announced by the national table tennis, combined with the strength and status of the players at this stage, they are analyzed. The women's singles quota is most likely to be from Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu to choose two to play, who can play? Let's take a brief look at it.
National Table Tennis Selection Rules
Before analyzing, we need to talk about the selection rules of national table tennis and figure out how the two places are determined. The two singles spots come from two sides, one is the wtt Singapore champion, who automatically gets a ticket. The second is the world's highest-ranked player in singles in the 14th week of 2022 (if the same candidate as WTT Singapore, he will be relegated to the no. 2 in singles), and will directly qualify for the Asian Games men's and women's singles.
Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng have a slightly greater chance
According to the latest issue of the world rankings, Sun Yingsha overpowered Chen Meng with an advantage of 405 points and reached the top of the women's singles world. Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng are ahead of Wang Manyu behind them by more than 2,000 points, which means that as long as Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha can play stably in this Singapore competition, then they can maintain the top two positions, and Wang Manyu cannot shake Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng in the ranking in the short term.
The championship points of this Singapore competition are as high as 2,000 points, and even if Wang Manyu wins the championship, he will not be able to hit the top two rankings. To put it bluntly, taking the road of points to get the asian games quota, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng are the players with the greatest chances. Coupled with the fact that Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha both have the strength to compete for the championship, this is undoubtedly two opportunities, the two are the most direct competitors, compared to stability, than who goes further.
Wang Manyu has only one way to champion
There is too much behind in the points, which makes Wang Manyu want to get a singles spot at the Asian Games, so he can only rely on the women's singles championship in Singapore to get a straight-through opportunity. As the women's singles champion of the last Asian Games, although the competition is fierce, Wang Manyu still has the opportunity to get a direct quota.
After the Nanyang Pass And Tokyo Olympics, Wang Manyu broke through his bottleneck period and entered a wave of outbreaks. The National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships defeated Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha consecutively, won the double crown, and played an extremely strong state. After the first round of the wtt World Cup finals was coldly released, Wang Manyu quickly adjusted back in the Macau tournament that began in January and won the championship again. If Wang Manyu can continue her previous competitive state, she has a greater chance of impacting the women's singles championship.
Chen Meng has the best chance
Wang Manyu can only rely on the championship to get through, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng can rely on both points and champions. The draw for the wtt World Cup finals has been announced, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu have drawn the first half of the district at the same time, and only one of the two people can get the place in the final. Chen Meng avoids Sha Yu and the two and runs into Ito Mimako. Although it has not been played against Ito Mimachi for a long time, as long as Chen Meng prepares seriously and plays with his due strength, the chance of entering the final is very large. Sun Yingsha fought in the third line of this competition, Wang Manyu fought on the two fronts of this competition, Chen Meng still had a slight advantage, and the chance of winning the championship was the best.
This wtt Singapore race is crucial, the champion can pass through, and the high points determine the ranking next month. The national table tennis full force played, and the civil war was even more tragic, testing the stability of the team members. Although Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu all have the opportunity to get a singles quota at the Asian Games, from the current situation, Chen Meng's chance should be the best one.
