On December 17, Beijing time, the WTT Nagoya Women's Year-end Finals came to an end, and finally Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Yidi 4-2 and won the women's singles championship, which is the third consecutive year-end finals championship won by Sun Yingsha!
This year, Sun Yingsha won 7 championships in Xinxiang Championship, Singapore Grand Slam, Durban World Table Tennis Championships, Hangzhou Asian Games, Ljubljana Star Challenge, Lanzhou Star Challenge, and Nagoya Women's Finals.
Sun Yingsha is currently ranked No. 1 in the world, and has been ranked No. 1 in the world for 50 consecutive weeks this year, and her faulty lead cannot be shaken. It is undeniable that Sun Yingsha has fully ushered in her own era!
Wang Manyu, the main player of national table tennis, won the Pyeongchang Asian Championships, Taiyuan Regular Challenge, and Macau Championship this year, just as after winning the women's doubles championship in the Nagoya Women's Finals tonight, Wang Manyu said that her form has been up and down this year, and she hopes to move forward bravely and achieve good results in 2024.
Although there have been ups and downs in form, Wang Manyu's results in foreign battles this year are very good, except for the 1-2 defeat to Diaz in the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup earlier this month, the other nearly 40 foreign matches are undefeated. Moreover, the Chengdu mixed group's informal best-of-five or best-of-seven games is not particularly representative. Today, when national table tennis has always attached importance to foreign wars, Wang Manyu's hope of playing in Paris is still very great.
Chen Meng won the women's singles runner-up in the Grand Slam this year, the women's singles runner-up at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, etc., Chen Meng reached the final four times this year, but unfortunately he missed the championship, and he was only one step away from the championship!
Despite this, Chen Meng is still in second place in the Paris Olympics selection points, and it is not surprising that Chen Meng still has a drama in Paris.
Wang Yidi has won two titles this year, two women's singles titles in the Frankfurt Championship and the Goa Star Challenge. And she just won the women's singles runner-up in the Nagoya Women's Finals, earning 1,050 points, and will rise to second place in the world ranking next week.
However, this year, what is more criticized is the foreign war she lost, and she lost to Japanese table tennis Miu Hirano, Miyu Kihara and Hina Hayata, especially in competitions such as the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban and the Asian Games in Hangzhou, Wang Yidi lost to Hina Hayata. It is no exaggeration to say that she almost lost her ticket to the Paris Olympics!
Although she has recently come out of a defeat in a foreign war, it is still unknown whether she will be able to get on the bus to the Paris Olympics.
Up to now, Sun Yingsha has basically gotten a singles ticket to the Paris Olympics in advance, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu have been competing for the second singles spot, and the two have the best chance of being selected for the Paris Olympics trio. Wang Yidi has been attacking Chen Meng and Wang Manyu and joining the women's team competition.
Before the Paris Olympics next year, there will be major competitions such as the Singapore Grand Slam and the Macao World Cup......
