The inaugural WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament ended a women's singles final on the evening of March 20.
The women's singles final took place between Xinke Olympic singles champion Chen Meng and Xinke World Table Tennis Champion Wang Manyu.
From the perspective of competition results, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu are also not divided, Chen Meng has the World Cup and the Olympic Women's Singles Champion, while Wang Manyu is the Singles Champion of the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships, and the gold content is no less than Chen Meng!
This game is also regarded as a dispute between the first sisters of Chinese women's table tennis.
In the game, Chen Mengyi changed his previous slow heat state and played more aggressively, and soon achieved a 3-1 lead.
Wang Manyu, on the other hand, played more tenaciously in the case of falling behind 1-3 in the big score, pulling two consecutive sets and dragging the game into the decider.
In the decider, Chen Meng was more decisive, while Wang Manyu started slightly conservatively, Chen Meng took a 7-2 lead, Wang Manyu woke up like a dream and began to fight tactics, and this change also played a certain role, Wang Manyu once chased the score to 8-9!
However, Chen Meng was more decisive at the crucial moment, scoring 2 points in a row and ending the battle with an 11-8 score!
In this way, Chen Meng defeated Wang Manyu 4-3 and won the women's singles championship of the first WTT Singapore Grand Slam!
While Chen Meng won the championship, he also ushered in two major surprises.
The first surprise: Chen Meng returns to the world first!
Since after the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng did not reach the final in the various competitions he participated in, which also led to Chen Meng's points being gradually surpassed by Sun Yingsha, but the difference between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's points was not large.
Now Chen Meng has won the championship strongly, and Sun Yingsha has stopped in the semi-finals, so that Chen Meng surpassed Sun Yingsha in points and returned to the throne of the world's first!
The second biggest surprise is that Chen Meng won the women's singles qualification for this year's Asian Games!
According to the previous regulations of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, athletes who can win the WTT Singapore Grand Slam singles championship will be eligible for the Asian Games.
In this way, Chen Meng won the qualification for the Asian Games for the first time.
Four years ago, Chen Meng participated in the women's singles competition at the Busan Asian Games, when in the final, Chen Meng's opponent was Wang Manyu.
In that game, Chen Meng was also 3-1, but Chen Meng was tragically reversed by Wang Manyu in the lead.
It was after losing to Wang Manyu that Chen Meng was painfully determined and secretly determined that he must be fierce! Only in this way can we stand out in the competition!
Now, four years later, Chen Meng has become an Olympic singles champion.
Today, Chen Meng has once again qualified for the Asian Games in singles, and another place is likely to be between Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu.
I hope that Chen Meng can make up for the regret of missing the women's singles championship four years ago in this year's Asian Games, come on!
