For the main layer players of the entire national table tennis home team, the past ten days or so, that is, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam period, can be said to be a very successful period. Because during this time, the girls of the national table tennis women's team played a very high level of competition, but also reflected a good mental outlook, but also got the good results expected. From Chen Meng to Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, to Wang Yidi, including He Zhuojia and the young player Ku Man, they have achieved the ideal of promotion and progress, and have won the recognition of more fans while receiving trophies, bonuses and ranking points. It also makes everyone full of confidence in the preparation of the national table tennis women's team for the Paris Olympic cycle. Of course, compared with the main opponents of the national table tennis women's team, from Ito Mimako and Hayata Xina, to Zheng Yijing, Feng Tianwei, Yuan Jianan, Polkanova, Du Kaixuan, Diaz, etc., even if there is progress, there is still a significant distance from the overall strength of the main layer of the national table tennis women's team.
It was also after the end of the Grand Slam that the World Table Tennis Federation announced the latest world rankings. Due to Chen Meng's women's singles victory in the Grand Slam, her ranking points have also been greatly improved, reaching 9175 points, returning to the world's first ranking position. In the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Chen Meng occupied the first position in the world ranking for a long time, the champions of various key competitions were also soft, the only thing lost was the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships champion, and at that time, Chen Meng and Liu Shiwen also lost 0-11 in a single set when competing, which also made her experience a huge blow in her mentality, but this blow made Chen Meng more and more comprehensive in the subsequent training and competition, and made new progress in the first three boards and serves and serves.
Now, after being briefly surpassed by Sun Yingsha in the world rankings, Chen Meng has regained his former domineering and comprehensiveness after a period of experience of not winning the championship in various competitions, while also increasing the spirituality in the competition, allowing himself to win the first championship through the Grand Slam and return to the world's first throne. It can be seen that sometimes setbacks and difficulties, including failures, can also achieve a person's growth. Obviously, Ma Lin has been standing with Wang Hao and Wang Liqin in the golden period of her career, which also allows him to help Chen Meng better adapt to this state of flashing at the same time as Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha. And again and again, when encountering difficulties, find new ways to make yourself rise again.
For Sun Yingsha, briefly ascending to the first place in the world ranking, but after only participating in one competition, she was overtaken by Chen Meng, which is not a bad thing for Sun Yingsha. After all, she also achieved surpassing herself in this Grand Slam. Last season, in the competition with Wang Manyu, she has successively lost 0-4 and 1-4, and this time, she and Wang Manyu have always stuck the score, and once took the lead, but in the last moment there was still a little bit of her own mistakes, and the backhand's offensive ability also has more room for improvement, which makes her regret defeat. In addition, Sun Yingsha is still in three categories, and has also achieved very outstanding results in mixed doubles and women's doubles, even if the current world ranking has come to the second place, ranking points 8280 points, 895 points less than Chen Meng, but for Sun Yingsha, who is only 22 years old, this is still a kind of progress and improvement. She needs to face it with a positive attitude.
As for Wang Manyu, although this grand slam match, she regretted losing the championship in the final. But for Wang Manyu, who is only 23 years old, winning consecutive championships in various competitions for a long time, especially winning the women's singles championship of the World Table Tennis Championships, does make her want to win the championship consecutively and keep her competitive position. But this kind of thinking, in turn, will bring greater pressure on Wang Manyu to achieve results, but it is easy to bind her hands and feet. It can be said that the second place in this Grand Slam tournament at least ensures that she has surpassed Ito In the world rankings, and the points have reached 6411 points. Coupled with such a position, it will make it easier for Wang Manyu to return to the position of a real challenger to face Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, which is actually beneficial to her overall improvement. I also hope that Wang Manyu will not let pain and sadness occupy her heart, can regain the sunshine, continue to work hard, and hope that she can make new progress in the process of receiving the serve with her backhand.
For Wang Yidi, it can be said that he once again played the semi-final and achieved a victorious meeting with his teammate Chen Meng, which is a success for him. However, it is a little regrettable that Wang Yidi's current world ranking points have increased to 5127 points, although it is very close to the 4th ranked Ito Mimako, but there is still a gap of 89 points with her ranking points of 5216 points. It is necessary to strive for another good result in the future world arena to achieve the national table tennis women's team's coverage of the world's top four positions. In other words, Wang Yidi is still far from surpassing Ito Mimako, and he still owes ignition. It is necessary to seize every opportunity to participate in the World Series in the future and complete the surpassing of Ito Asemasa as soon as possible. However, no matter what, now that the three cores of the national table tennis women's team have secured the position of the top three in the world, we also believe that they will bring us more surprises in the future, and let us continue to look forward to the peak showdown between them. Come on, Chen Meng. Come on, Wang Manyu. Come on Sun Yingsha. Come on Wang Yidi.
