As we all know, after the end of the previous Singapore Grand Slam competition, the national table tennis achieved very good results, winning five gold medals in all events.
Of course, in this Grand Slam competition, for Sun Yingsha herself, there should be some regrets. Although she won two gold medals, they were both gold medals in the team competition, and among the most important women's singles gold medals, she did not win the final gold medal. So this is a big regret for herself. Many fans are looking forward to Sun Yingsha being able to complete the counterattack in the follow-up matches after this and achieve better results.
Just after the recent end of the tournament in Singapore, the second Grand Slam tournament is just around the corner in April. This time the competition will be played in Tokyo, Japan, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Sun Yingsha. And with the arrival of this competition, she also sent 3 big gifts to Sun Yingsha, which will be of great help to her subsequent conquests.
The first surprise to see is that there is hope to surpass Chen Meng and return to the world first. Previously, Chen Meng surpassed Sun Yingsha to become the world number one with 20 million points in the first Grand Slam competition. This time, she and Sun Yingsha are about 1,000 points apart, so for Sun Yingsha, if she can win the women's singles championship in the next competition in Tokyo, she will be able to surpass Chen Meng to become the world number one again with an advantage of 2,000 points, so it is an important opportunity for Sun Yingsha.
The second surprise is that for Coach Qiu Yike, they finally ushered in the opportunity to run in again. After Chen Xuan left, Sun Yingsha welcomed a new head coach, Qiu Yike, and got a good experience in the first Grand Slam competition. Sun Yingsha mentioned that her performance has improved significantly, which is precisely the credit of the coach in charge. This time in the second race, they once again have the opportunity to hone, I believe that for them, this can be a better run-in, and strive for better form to face the Asian Games in September. So for Sun Yingsha, it is also a big surprise.
The third surprise is that this Grand Slam tournament can provide Sun Yingsha with the opportunity to train troops. According to the previous selection method of national table tennis, in the singles competition of the Asian Games in September, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng have won the final two singles tickets with their world rankings. For Sun Yingsha, before the Asian Games in September, she can have a better chance to train in advance in this Tokyo Grand Slam competition to improve her state and ability.
In addition, testing the waters in advance and playing again with players such as Ito Mimachi can make comprehensive preparations for the Asian Games. At that time, we will be able to achieve better results at the Asian Games.
Based on the above three points, for Sun Yingsha, this time really ushered in three surprises. Next, as long as she can grasp it well, I believe she will be able to achieve good results and even reach the top of the world.
For her new head coach, Qiu Yike, this time she finally waited for this day. After all, before that, he also very much hoped that the new apprentices could grow up, and at present, Sun Yingsha waited for more and more good opportunities, which was obviously a good start.
Next, I wish them both masters and apprentices to have better performances and win glory for the country.
