After many rounds of stalemates, as Japan's Ishikawa Yoshinori returned the ball out of bounds, Chen Meng clenched his fists, quickly walked to the sidelines to pick up the sweat towel, and the score was frozen at 11-0 on the electronic display screen.
It was the score at the end of the third inning, a WTT Singapore Grand Slam women's singles quarterfinal on the afternoon of March 17. In the end, Chen Meng advanced to the semi-finals 3-1.
After about an hour, the #Chen Meng 11-0 Ishikawa Jiajun # topic rushed to Weibo hot search. Some netizens called Chen Meng crazy and praised the big dream too cattle, really handsome! As the favorite Japanese table tennis player of Chinese fans after Ai Fukuhara, he once "showed love" to Ma Long, and some netizens felt sorry for Ishikawa Yoshijun for a second.
When the adrenaline of netizens rose, the international table tennis world once again had an additional 11-0.
01
Give your opponent the utmost respect
Chen Meng fulfilled the requirements of national table tennis
In the past, in the table tennis arena, there was an unwritten tacit understanding, when the score reached 10-0, it was generally necessary to save some face for the opponent and deliberately let a point. To this end, the national table tennis has appeared many times to distract the operation.
At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Zhang Yining played against Ai Fukuhara. Seeing that the score in the second set came to 9-0, Fukuhara Ai, who had no choice but to do anything, was confused. Zhang Yining could only take the initiative to send the ball to the bottom of the table and give the opponent a point. Speaking of this last year, Zhang Yining laughed and said: "All 9 to 0, I can't always send the ball to the sky, I can only send it to the ground." ”
The third generation of the women's team, Zhang Yining, had a god dialogue and divine operation with the head coach, and this was how it appeared.
At the 2009 Yokohama World Table Tennis Championships, Zhang Yining took another 9-0 lead against Hungarian veteran Tot. In a divine dialogue with the head coach Li Falcon -
"You snap [the ball], and then you skim it."
"What's the matter, I'm afraid she (Tot) can't hit, it's too short."
"Then you let them go!"
"I let go of my sure! I was trying to confront her. ”
After that, she took the initiative to send the ball under the table.
In 2012, the "Six-Sided Warrior" Ma Long played 10-0 in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships and the London Olympic Games, and then staged "Zhang Yining-style serve mistakes" with the worst acting skills of the Oscars.
Obviously, the national table tennis handicap experience does not stop there. But in the past two years, the national table tennis has proposed that "going all out is the greatest respect for the opponent". Against Ishikawa Yoshinori, Chen Meng strictly implemented the team's requirements.
After the game, for the 11-0 in the third set, Chen Meng did not respond specifically, but bluntly said that he was satisfied with his performance, and the details were handled well.

Loved by Chinese fans
Ishikawa once "showed love" to Malone
"It's terrible to anger big dreams."
"After the second inning, I came to brush a Weibo, it was only three minutes, and the third inning was over, giving 0."
"Brutal, invincible!"
After the game, netizens did not hesitate to praise Chen Meng. However, in the massive comments, you can also see "hug pure sister", "Ishikawa girl don't cry, friendship first match second", "heartache pure sister".
Although he is Japanese, Ishikawa Yoshijun, because of his sweet looks and fluent Chinese, has gained many fans in China and become the favorite Japanese player of Chinese fans after Ai Fukuhara. And such a Japanese girl is still a little fan of the national table tennis brother Malone, and has more than once "shown love" in the air.
On different occasions, Ishikawa praised Malone unreservedly — Malone was tall, handsome and gentlemanly, a superstar; I often watched Malone's games, and I was a big fan of Malone; Malone was really powerful and gentlemanly, he was a very powerful, handsome, and very gentle superstar. Speaking of Malone, Ishikawa's eyes lit up.
At the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, Ishikawa Jiajun cheered for Ma Long at the scene, and took the initiative to ask for a group photo after the game, without concealing his admiration.
In the face of Ishikawa Yoshinori's enthusiastic and enthusiastic feelings, Ma Long was a little overwhelmed. After the 2016 Rio Olympics, Ma Long officially announced his love for Xia Lu, and this transnational "love affair" that was talked about by netizens came to an end.
Not being able to make a girlfriend off the field does not affect Ishikawa Yoshijun's admiration for Ma Long. At the 2015 Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, the national table tennis team created a mixed doubles transnational combination. Subsequently, Ishikawa called out to Ma Long through the media, hoping to pair with him to participate in the competition.
For the fan's request, Malone finally responded: "I have not played mixed doubles, if you must find a partner, it is Ishikawa Yoshijun!" ”
Today, Ma Long is married and has children, his son is 4 years old, and 28-year-old Ishikawa Yoshijun has also become a veteran of the Japanese team, and the two may announce their retirement at any time.
Unfortunately, their mixed doubles combination has never been achieved.

Those 11-0 famous scenes
Although she is the third generation of the national table tennis women's team, Zhang Yining always gives face to her opponents on the field. But South Korea's Lee Eun-sil forced the Great Demon King to threaten.
In the 2004 Qatar World Table Tennis Championships, Zhang Yining met The South Korean team's Lee Eun Seok, the gap between the strength of the two sides is still relatively large, Zhang Yining used his full strength as soon as he came up, and the opponent was powerless. Seeing that victory was hopeless, Li Enshi moved his crooked mind, and if he could not catch the ball, he deliberately hit the ball far away for Zhang Yining to pick up. Zhang Yining, who was expressionless, played 11-0 at the fastest speed in the second set, without showing any mercy to his opponent.
Zhang Yining is intentional, but the 11-0 that Marlene gave to German star Pol is an unintentional mistake. In the men's singles quarter-finals of the 2004 Fifa World Cup, Marlene played against Ball. In the first four innings, the former led 3-1. In the fifth set, Marlene felt hot, winning 10 consecutive points, and the game came to 10-0. The last serve, he originally wanted to serve out of bounds, but sent a side ball, and the score was finally fixed at 11-0. Since 11-0 was rare at the time, the game was also known as a 0-point "tragedy".
Playing 0 points against the opponent, I feel humiliated, this is a large "Versailles" scene.
In the third round of the men's singles of the 2013 World Table Tennis Championships in Paris, Xu Xin eliminated Portuguese player Pollonia 4-0. In the second set, he went 11-0. After the game, Xu Xin said with a surprised face: "How to play 0 points, I played too much, forgot to look at the scoreboard, and forgot to wipe sweat, I thought the opponent scored a point." It's a shame, don't report it. ”
In the 2014 Incheon Asian Games table tennis women's team group stage, Japan team against Mongolia, due to the huge gap in strength, Fukuhara Ai played a set 11-0. After the game, Kong Linghui joked: "I heard that you beat others 11 to 0, pay attention to the influence of the two countries." Ai Fukuhara quickly explained, "I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it." I wanted to make a mistake and ended up with a hugely good serve. ”
At the 2015 Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, Zhang Jike played against South Korea's Zhang Yuzhen. Due to the influence of the referee's judgment, Zhang Jike was not hostile. After the game, Zhang Yuzhen provoked public anger. In the same year, Xu Xin met with Zhang Yuzhen and played 11-0 without mercy, breaking the "rule" of national table tennis not to shave the opponent's bald head.
During the Beijing Winter Olympics, Xu Xin, who was connected to Wu Dajing and others to broadcast live, revealed that now that the rules of the team have changed, we must respect all opponents, go all out to treat every ball, and play as hard as we can.
It is not unusual for a national table tennis opponent to play 11-0, but it is rare for an opponent to pay tribute. In the 2020 Qatar Open women's singles semifinals, Ding Ning lost to Ito Mimako, and the third set was a 0-11 defeat.
11-0 "tragedies" in international competitions often occur, even between national table tennis teammates. On March 5, in the men's singles final of the WTT Regular Challenge Mascot, Liang Jingkun exploded 11-0 in the second set, and his opponent was teammate Lin Gaoyuan.
