On March 20, Beijing time, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam women's singles final began. In the end, Chen Meng defeated Wang Manyu 4-3 to win the women's singles championship. This is also Chen Meng's first singles title after the End of the Tokyo Olympics, breaking the 234-day championship drought. At the moment of victory, Chen Meng also roared with passion, venting the depression of the past six months.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng fell into a long championship drought. Whether it is the National Games or the World Table Tennis Championships, Chen Meng lost to Wang Manyu. Prior to this, Chen Meng's first position in the world was also replaced by Sun Yingsha. However, after Sun Yingsha missed the final, Chen Meng has decided to return to the world first. And this game, Chen Meng needs to re-enter the world number one.
In the first set, the two sides fought fiercely to a 9 draw, and Chen Meng then won 11-9. The ensuing match was the same as the first set, Wang Manyu won 11-8 in the second set, and Chen Meng won 11-9 in the third set to lead 2-1. In the fourth set, Chen Meng won 11-9 and occupied the commanding heights 3-1. But Wang Manyu fought back in the 5th set, taking 11-6 to chase 2-3. In the crucial 6th set, although Chen Meng saved two innings, he still lost 9-11, and the two sides entered the decider. In the seventh set, Chen Meng began to lead 7-2, although he was chased to 8-9, but Chen Meng still maintained the advantage and finally won the championship.
In fact, in terms of the strength of Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, the three can be described as incomparable, and the victory or defeat only lies in the state of the scene and the game. After the end of the Olympic Games, Wang Manyu was in a hot state, defeating Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng many times, but this did not mean that Wang Manyu's strength had left Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha. From this game, it can also be seen that the two have been suppressing and counter-suppressing, and the game has ups and downs.
For national table tennis, such healthy competition is actually the most critical factor in stabilizing the leading position of national table tennis. With three of the best players in the world, they not only bring exciting competitions in the competition, but also inspire each other in daily training, and try to find a way to defeat the enemy. Perhaps, this is the secret of the long-term prosperity of national table tennis.
