WTT started two races this week at the same time, one was the Grand Slam with a championship point of 2,000 points in Singapore, and the other was a side event in Doha, Qatar, with a championship point of 150 points. The strong Chinese women's singles team showed the group's advantage in two competitions, with Tokyo Olympic women's singles champion Chen Meng defeating teammate He Zhuojia 3-0 (11-8/11-4/11-9) to advance to the women's singles quarterfinals, 1/4 final or against Japanese veteran Ishikawa Yoshijun. In the regional tournament, the 15-year-old Zhonggeman challenged the Japanese women's team's quasi-main player Mori Mori in the first round.
Chen Meng is currently ranked No. 2 in the world, this competition must win the women's singles championship, it is possible to return to the world No. 1, Chen Meng in the Tokyo Olympic cycle experienced a period of low opening and high walking time, the first 2 years of Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen and Zhu Yuling in front of the front, she also ranked at most in the 4th or 5th main force position, in the last 2 years began to break out, won the Budapest World Table Tennis Championships women's singles runner-up, 2020 World Cup champion, and then won the women's singles championship again at the Tokyo Olympic Games, the road to the impact of the Grand Slam is only a world championship.
It is a pity that in the talented national table tennis women's team, it is very common to retreat if you do not advance and have a strong middle player in the strong, Chen Meng met Wang Manyu, who was in a hot state for nearly a year, and was eliminated by Wang Manyu in the semi-finals of the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships. The world rankings have regressed with the long-term performance of no crown, and Sun Yingsha finally replaced her as the world's No. 1 throne. This station Grand Slam is a good opportunity to return to the world's No. 1, Chen Meng encountered his teammate He Zhuojia in the 1/8 final, the teammates knew each other, Chen Meng's personal strength was dominant, He Zhuojia's changes were all explored, the key points lacked hard power support, and finally Chen Meng fell straight down 3 sets to win. Chen Meng's opponents in the quarter-finals will be the winners of Ishikawa Yoshijun and Zheng Yijing, and due to Zheng Yijing's recent poor performance, the world ranking has fallen out of the top 10, and the victory over Ishikawa Yoshijun is unlikely.
The national table tennis women's singles in the Grand Slam arena is undefeated, the regional competition will usher in the first round of the women's singles competition, and the national table tennis small flower has 4 matches worth looking forward to, all of which are challenges that are stronger than their own strength or more famous opponents. In the qualifiers to let the two chase three to achieve a big reversal of the 15-year-old young man Zhonggeman challenged the Japanese national team quasi-main player Mori Takuma, the opponent is famous for screaming in the arena, the real strength of the Japanese women's team should be between the first-class and the second-rate, Zhonggeman needs to be careful to deal with, the opponent has been trained in the Japanese league for many years, the game experience and comprehensive strength are better.
