On December 15, Beijing time, in the women's singles 1/8 finals of the WTT Nagoya Women's Finals, Chen Xingtong reversed Szokos 3:2, and the deciding game hit 9:1, and the revenge was successful!
Szokos, the first sister of Romania, is the foreign association player who has defeated the main force of national table tennis the most in this cycle, defeating Chen Meng twice and Chen Xingtong once. Her chopping serve is very characteristic, with a low, long backhand arc and weird spins, making it difficult for opponents to match the spot.
Szokos also showed a strong impact today, and the game was very close, with four of them scoring key points. Chen Xingtong was reversed twice, especially in the fourth game, Chen Xingtong got the match point 10:8 and was overturned by the opponent, the key points were still too conservative, and the game was dragged into the deciding game.
In the decisive game, Chen Xingtong had a strong wave of 9:1, Szokos completely collapsed, and finally stopped the first round 3:11, Chen Xingtong successfully took revenge, and faced Wang Manyu in the next round.
The finals are like clouds, taking the top 16 in the world, the national table tennis occupies half of the country, Chen Xingtong, as the No. 6 seed in the tournament, has no division of his own, and he must meet his teammates in advance in 8 into 4.
Chen Xingtong fell into Wang Manyu's division again in this draw, after Chen Xingtong had defeated Wang Manyu three times in a row, especially the "fatal blow" at the Durban World Championships, which almost made Wang Manyu withdraw from the Paris singles competition.
Now, Wang Manyu has gradually come out of the haze, third in the Olympic points team, and "three for two" in the Paris competition, while Chen Xingtong is at the bottom of the team in terms of points and has lost his competitiveness.
At such a critical moment, history seems to repeat itself, the two met again, even if Chen Xingtong won Wang Manyu, it would not change anything, and she had no chance to go to the Olympics, but on the field, you don't look at these, only look at hard power.
According to the national table tennis Olympic selection regulations, the champion of the finals can get 2,000 Olympic points, the runner-up 1,000 points, and the semi-finals 500 points. If Wang Manyu wants to improve the ranking of the team and surpass Chen Meng, he must pass Chen Xingtong.
Will Chen Xingtong continue to be a "spoiler", or will Wang Manyu stop the decline and end his losing streak against Chen Xingtong? Let's wait and see!
