Sun Yingsha has ended the WTT Grand Slam competition early because she lost to Wang Manyu in the women's singles semifinals in the 7th round and missed the women's singles championship. Although Sun Yingsha won the mixed doubles and women's doubles titles in the Grand Slam, she was not very happy from Sun Yingsha's expression after the game. After all, there is an essential difference between a doubles champion and a singles champion, and it also directly affects Sun Yingsha's competition in the Paris cycle.
Judging from the current competitive situation of the national table tennis women's team, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are still the singles hot candidates for the Paris Olympic Games. However, after the end of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Wang Manyu has won the singles championship of the National Games and the World Championships, and now he has entered the women's singles final of the Grand Slam, the singles performance has improved by leaps and bounds, and there are also the blessings of the singles champions of the three major competitions, and the chips for the singles quota of the Paris Olympic Games are no less than Sun Yingsha.
In contrast, although Sun Yingsha has participated in three major singles competitions in succession and won the singles championship of four major competitions such as the World Cup, the Olympic Games, the National Games, and the World Championships, she has not yet been recognized as the singles champion of the three major competitions. In the final of the WTT World Cup last year, Sun Yingsha won the championship by defeating Wang Yidi in the final, and as a result, many people did not think that the singles champion of the World Cup final could be compared to the singles champion of the three major competitions. That is to say, Sun Yingsha still has not achieved a breakthrough in her career, even if she partners with Wang Chuqin to reach the top of the world in mixed doubles in the future, but the singles competition performance still needs to be improved.
And Chen Meng won the Singles Championship of the World Cup and the Olympic Games, and this time reached the women's singles final of the Grand Slam Tournament, and is about to surpass Sun Yingsha to return to the world number one, and the singles ability is still not lost to Sun Yingsha. Faced with the competition for two Olympic singles places, coupled with the recent surpassing by two main teammates, Sun Yingsha wants to participate in the Olympic singles competition again, which is difficult and not as simple as imagined.
After the end of the Grand Slam, Sun Yingsha suddenly lost 2 honors. In addition to stepping down from the throne of world number one, it is also missing the women's singles championship of the first Grand Slam tournament. According to the reform standards of the International Table Tennis Federation, the women's singles champion of the Grand Slam is no less than the women's singles champion of the World Table Tennis Championships. If Sun Yingsha can reach the final, there is a perfect opportunity to make up for the regret of not having a three-time singles champion in her career.
However, Sun Yingsha did not have to be nervous, and the head coach Qiu Yike was trying to help the disciples improve their performance. In the past, Sun Yingsha did not have a head coach, but Wang Manyu and Chen Meng had their own head coach. Xiao Zhan and Ma Lin are both experienced veteran coaches who help their disciples achieve breakthroughs in their careers. Since Qiu Yike was able to take over Sun Yingsha, he must have his own killer skills. Judging from the situation of Sun Yingsha's recent confrontation with Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha is only one step away from defeating Wang Manyu, and if she can stabilize her state in the final stage of the game, she will inevitably achieve a breakthrough in her career.
