On March 12, Beijing time, WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament continued, women's singles, ST Olympic women's singles champion Chen Meng played, against Japan's Sato Hitomi, the whole game, Chen Meng did not give Sato Hitomi too many opportunities, grasped the initiative, and finally fell straight into three sets, respectively, 11-8, 11-7, 11-9 wins, the big score 3-0 swept Sato Hitomi, successfully advanced to the round of 32.
Chen Meng's Singapore Grand Slam tournament and a number of Japanese players are divided into a half-zone, in addition to Hitomi Sato, there are also Ito Mimako, Hirano Miyu and Ishikawa Yoshijun, Chen Meng needs to play with these Japanese players. Japan's active first golfer Ito Mimachi also defeated Han Ying to advance smoothly.
Before Chen Meng's promotion, the remaining Olympic champions of the national table tennis also advanced to the round of 32, and Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and veteran Liu Shiwen all won smoothly. This Singapore Grand Slam event, the masters gathered, all the individual champions competition is very fierce, Chen Meng since the Tokyo Olympic Games, a number of consecutive women's singles failed to win the championship, of which, 3 consecutive losses to Wang Manyu, resulting in Chen Meng's world ranking by Sun Yingsha back, at present, Chen Meng is the women's singles world ranking 2nd, second only to Sun Yingsha.
And this Singapore Grand Slam event, but also the fierce competition of the new sister of national table tennis, just ended in 2021, the national table tennis women's team underwent earth-shaking changes, Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu joined forces to win the Tokyo Olympic women's team championship, of which, Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha in the women's singles final, becoming the New Branch Olympic women's singles champion, but Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha's subsequent performance is more powerful, especially Wang Manyu, who has won the women's singles championship of the National Games and the women's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships, which can be called the strongest national table tennis women's champion with the strongest personal strength. Sun Yingsha is the No. 1 in the women's singles world of Xinke, and these two are 22 years old and 23 years old, both younger than Chen Meng. In this case, the position of the first sister of national table tennis has been in a state of competition.
Therefore, this Singapore Grand Slam event, who can win the women's singles championship in the case of a large number of masters, I believe that it is the candidate of the first sister of the national table tennis women's team, who can win the championship in the case of many of the world's top athletes participating, which is very difficult, and the champion content of this Singapore competition is very high.
For Chen Meng personally, in addition to impacting the position of the first sister of national table tennis, she also needs to prove herself through this competition, after the Tokyo Olympic Games, the National Games were swept by Wang Manyu twice, the bronze medal battle lost to veteran Liu Shiwen, the World Table Tennis Championships lost to Wang Manyu, and the World Cup finals were lost to Wang Yidi. It can be seen that Chen Meng is currently at an absolute low in the women's singles event and needs to prove his ability again through a major championship.
