On October 22, Beijing time, the quarterfinals of the women's singles of the 2022 WTT Macau Championship ushered in a focus battle. Sun Yingsha, the little devil of the national table tennis women's team, met Zheng Yijing, a star of the Chinese Taipei team. In the end, Sun Yingsha, who was full of momentum in the game, defeated her opponent 3-0 and successfully advanced to the semifinals, where she will compete with Yuan Jianan, the biggest dark horse of the competition, for the right to the final. Due to the upset of Wang Manyu in the first half and Chen Meng in the second half, the hope of keeping the women's singles championship for the Chinese team was pinned on Sun Yingsha. At the same time, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong will also make every effort to defend the second half of the district and strive to meet Sun Yingsha in the final.
In this Macao Championship, the overall performance of national table tennis is average. To some extent, several main players may be too consumed in the team competition of the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, resulting in a decline in status. Especially for the women's team, world champion Wang Manyu was upset in the first round, and Olympic champion Chen Meng was blocked from the quarterfinals, a result that caught the entire women's team coaching staff a little by surprise. It is reported that after the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships team competition, the head coach of the women's team, Li Falcon, chose to bid farewell to the national team temporarily due to physical reasons.
Wang Manyu's head coach Xiao Zhan also did not come to Macau, and Ma Lin served as Wang Manyu's off-court coach. After Chen Meng was out, many fans ridiculed, "Wang Manyu and Chen Meng's off-court coaches are Ma Lin, unfortunately both of them were eliminated, Chef Ma is afraid that he will be scared out of a heart attack!" "Before the Macau Championship began, almost everyone thought that the women's singles champion was none other than the Chinese team, after all, the luxurious lineup composed of Tokyo Olympic women's singles champion Chen Meng, world champion Wang Manyu, world No. 1 Sun Yingsha, world champion Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong is the strongest team on the surface.
But after the defeat of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu, the situation of the national table tennis women's singles championship has become very grim. Only Sun Yingsha was left in the first half, and although Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong were in the second half, the two could only get a place in the final four. Therefore, only two of the national table tennis women's team can advance to the final four at most. After the emergence of the women's singles quarterfinals, the outside world is generally optimistic about Sun Yingsha winning the championship, and Wang Yidi's support for winning the championship is close behind. In the first women's singles quarterfinals, world number one Sun Yingsha made her appearance again, and her opponent was Zheng Yijing, the first sister of Chinese Taipei.
The two have played many times before, and Sun Yingsha has maintained a complete victory. When they met again, the two offered a wonderful match for the audience. After 3 rounds of fierce fighting, Sun Yingsha, who had a fierce forehand attack, successfully defeated Zheng Yijing and advanced to the semifinals. Some fans said that Sun Yingsha is worthy of being a little devil and will never disappoint! The semifinals and final will be in a best-of-7 format, which undoubtedly adds another layer of protection for Sun Yingsha to compete for the women's singles championship!
