On March 20, Beijing time, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam women's singles final was staged as scheduled, against the world's second-ranked Chen Meng and the world's fourth-ranked Wang Manyu (as of the 11th week of 2022). Because it is a civil war between two Chinese players, there is no need to worry about the champion falling next to him; at the same time, the civil war also means that it is a peak duel with ornamental pulling, and for the audience, it must be a visual feast worth enjoying frame by frame.
Chen Meng and Wang Manyu also did not live up to everyone's pre-match hopes, and the final played seven sets, and the battle situation was extremely anxious. With a more delicate treatment of the decisive points, Da Meng successfully won the first set of the opening red, but in the handling of the second set, Wang Manyu, who changed his strategy and was no longer limited to the backhand twist, was once suppressed, despite the mid-term force, but then lost 4 points in a row, and the eels changed the big score to 1-1 draw.
In the third and fourth innings, Big Dream and the Eels entered a stalemate in which the score went up. Although the two sides did not have much problem in the connection between the front and backhands, Dameng always had some opportunities to take advantage of the first attack advantage of always being able to start first on the first three boards, and the big score came to 3-1, at this time Wang Manyu's situation was already precarious. As the gold medalist in the women's singles of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and the National Games, the eels naturally do not sit still, and after further improving the quality of the serve and backhand, Wang Manyu went down two cities in a row, and the two sides entered the final showdown of the decider.
Perhaps relieved after chasing points in the first two sets, or being in the same two games that caused the attention to be less concentrated than Big Dream, Wang Manyu did not perform well in the opening stage of the decider, and was hit by Big Dream's 7-2 attack wave. Although a wave of 6-2 attacks was then returned to catch up with the score, it was helpless to bury the last chance because of the mistake. The score in the decider was fixed at 11-8, Chen Meng refused to reverse, and successfully accepted the first championship of the Paris Olympic cycle!
Chen Meng and Wang Manyu have played each other 17 times before, and Da Meng has won 12 of them, occupying an absolute advantage; but considering that the eel is 5 years younger than the big dream, many ancient record of the fight does not have much reference value, especially the recently rising eel has continuously defeated Big Dream in the final of major events, and also has an advantage against Sasha in the same period, and just defeated his women's doubles partner through 89 minutes of battle in the semifinals, so Wang Manyu has the tendency to "unify the world" and become a new generation of big devils. In this battle, Da Meng used his more mature playing style and the technical and tactical level of the head to tell his little sister: The first sister of the women's team is still herself, and the era that belongs to Wang Manyu has to go back a little further.
For Liu Guoliang's guidance, it is natural to be optimistic. From the perspective of decision makers, such an inner volume will help the women's team to develop sustainably, and continue to maintain a strong repressive force and absolute dominance in the Paris cycle. After all, ito Mimachi, who is regarded as the "number one enemy", has a tendency to be completely subdued from the perspective of this event, after the women's singles unexpectedly stopped in the round of 16, the women's doubles was easily defeated by the "seafood combination" again, and after the game, instead of being half unconvinced, he was extremely happy to go on stage to accept the award, and there was no longer the "only I can beat the Chinese team" posture at the Tokyo Olympic Games. Although the P card player Hayata Hina at the Tokyo Olympics was praised by Sasha for "rapid growth in the past 3 months", it is probably not a matter of time and a half to threaten the Chinese women's team.
Therefore, in this expedition, Liu Guoliang chose to let Chen Meng only be responsible for women's singles under the guidance of the trade-off, hoping that she could use victory to find self-confidence; let Wang Manyu do two and carry the weight forward; but also let Sun Yingsha take on three, hoping that the little devil king could shoulder the heavy responsibility. Judging from the results, the purpose has been achieved. The big dream of winning the championship has regained the throne of the world ranking, and the eel has also completed the reversal of Ito Mimachi to the third, and clearly realizes where his technical and Chen Meng's shortcomings are, and the next stage of training can also be targeted. The Chinese team, which has won the top three in the women's singles world ranking, has also demonstrated its dominance in such a way. Congratulations to Chen Meng again, congratulations to the Chinese team!
