The 2023 Durban World Table Tennis Championships has been over for more than ten days, but the wonderful picture of Sun Yingsha winning the women's singles, mixed doubles championship and the third place in women's doubles in Durban still makes many fans unforgettable for a long time. Sun Yingsha's ability to achieve the honor of the Golden Slam at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban is inseparable from her hard work. Recently, Sun Yingsha's head coach Qiu Yike was interviewed to tell the story behind Sasha winning the championship.
Sun Yingsha competed in three competitions
Sun Yingsha is the most comprehensive player in the national table tennis women's team, whether mixed doubles, women's doubles, singles events, Sasha can complete training and competition tasks very well. Therefore, National Table Tennis sent Sun Yingsha to compete in three competitions in the 2021 World Table Tennis Championships. At that time, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu partnered and defeated Hina Hayata and Mimato Ito in the women's doubles final to win the championship. Partnering with Wang Chuqin in the mixed doubles final, Tomokazu Chang and Hina Hayata also won the championship. However, in the women's singles final, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu clashed, when Wang Manyu's form was hot, and finally defeated Sun Yingsha to win the championship, and Sasha was the runner-up. Although Sasha won two championships and a runner-up in this competition, the results are brilliant enough, but Sasha still has regrets in her heart, she is too eager to win the women's singles championship in the World Table Tennis Championships!
In the two years before the end of the Houston World Table Tennis Championships and then the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha experienced a phoenix-like transformation. Among them, the master-apprentice combination with Qiu Yike is the key factor that promotes Sun Yingsha's transformation. Sasha was in free-range status before the World Championships in Houston, and there was no full-time coach to help her plan her direction scientifically, and she could only give a little guidance temporarily during the competition. In fact, for a highly talented player like Sasha, this situation delays Sasha's development.
After Qiu Yike officially took over Shasha, he began to help Sasha develop a scientific training plan, Qiu Yike found problems in the game, will communicate with Sun Yingsha as soon as possible, seek the most reasonable solution, and race against time for targeted training. Under the careful tuning of Qiu Yike and Sun Yingsha working hard enough, she finally improved her skills in an all-round way.
In the past two years, Sun Yingsha has won many singles championships. On the eve of the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, Sun Yingsha also qualified as the champion of the National Table Tennis Direct Selection Tournament and the Singapore Grand Slam Women's Singles Champion. At the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, Sun Yingsha played three games a day, not only did not complain and was tired, but became more and more excited. In fact, how many people know that Sasha is carrying a heavy pressure like a mountain?
When Sasha won the women's singles final, she lay down on the court, although it was only a short dozen seconds, but Sasha seemed to release all the pressure. She finally won the women's singles championship and achieved her goal. Qiu Yike witnessed Sasha's victory moment. After more than ten days, Qiu Yike told reporters when recalling the scene at that time: The Durban World Table Tennis Championships has a great test of Sun Yingsha's physical fitness, endurance and psychology. Sun Yingsha is under a lot of pressure in this competition, she is very eager to win the championship in singles, whether it is the outside world or herself, this pressure makes her dare not relax for a moment, fortunately, the final result is good. This adjustment and conversion of Sasha can actually be done better, and I hope she will maintain a positive and fighting attitude and continue to cheer.
From Qiu Yike's statement, we can see how difficult it is for Sasha to be. Under great pressure, he still goes to the game with optimism and always shows the fans his most positive side. Sasha achieved the World Championship Golden Slam honor, she worked hard herself, and this honor is well deserved. Fans will always support Sasha and look forward to witnessing her shine in Paris Olympics. Come on Sasha!
