On March 17, Beijing time, the 2022 WTT Singapore Grand Slam women's singles event continued to be fiercely fought, and the Olympic women's singles champion Chen Meng and the good sister Ishikawa Jiajun narrow road met. In the end, the more powerful Chen Meng defeated his opponent 3:1 and successfully reached the semifinals. After advancing to the final four, Chen Meng also continued to attack the first singles championship of the new season. It is worth mentioning that after the Tokyo Olympic Games, Chen Meng was all broken in the National Games, the World Championships, the World Cup final and other competitions, but the two sisters Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha became more eye-catching.
Previously, the public opinion of "Chen Meng's era has passed" has troubled Chen Meng herself, although she did not respond positively in front of the camera, but it is still inevitable to carry ideological baggage in the game. The Singapore Grand Slam women's singles lineup is comparable to the World Championships, and for Chen Meng, the pressure to win the championship is even greater than that of the Olympic Games. After coming to Singapore, fans found that Chen Meng, who had not appeared for a long time, had grown long hair again, and chen Meng revealed that he hoped that he could enter the 2022 season with a new attitude and appearance.
Through the lottery grouping, Chen Meng entered the lower half of the district, while the two major threats Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu both fell into the upper half, and Chen Meng's prospect of rushing to the crown was more impressive. In the women's singles quarterfinals against Japan's Ishikawa Yoshijun, Chen Meng showed a good state. In the first game, Chen Meng used the line to control Ishikawa's backhand, and with a straight-line win with a forehand, Chen Meng won the first set 11:8. Subsequently, Ishikawa Yoshijun made a change in the serve, received the serve and took the initiative to start, Chen Meng made a mistake in the multi-board back and forth, was equalized by the opponent and reversed at the last minute, the two fought to a draw in the first two sets.
In the third set, there was a surprising scene, the reinvigorated Chen Mengbing did not have a bloody blade, and won 11 consecutive points with a sharp attack, so that the opponent Ishikawa Yoshijun ate a "duck egg". Many fans joked, "Chen Meng in the shouting state is invincible, and is ignorant of Ishikawa Yoshijun", "Chen Meng is a bit faceless, especially in the face of the good sister Ishikawa Yoshizumi, good villains also let a point." It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the score of 11:0 has appeared in this competition. After the game, it rushed directly to the hot search.
In the end, Chen Meng successfully defeated Ishikawa Yoshijun and strongly advanced to the women's singles final four. It is worth mentioning that during the pause, Ishikawa Yoshinori was wiping his tears with a towel.
On March 18, she will compete with teammate Wang Yidi for a ticket to the final. After the game, Chen Meng said in an interview that he still needed to fight one by one to win the final championship. Previously, Sun Yingsha, who won the mixed doubles championship, laughed that the red championship trophy of this Singapore Grand Slam event was beautiful, and she had to take a few more. In the women's singles event, perhaps she needs to stage a peak duel with Chen Meng for this trophy. In the semi-finals, the catch and fight between Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi and Chen Meng will become the biggest attraction of this competition.
