At present, the table tennis WTT women's finals have come to an end, the national table tennis won the women's singles and women's doubles championships, and Sun Yingsha won the double championship and became the biggest winner! There is no doubt that in 2023, it will be a year for Sun Yingsha to completely break out, winning the Singapore Grand Slam at the beginning of the year, winning the women's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships in the middle of the year, and winning the championship in the finals at the end of the year.
In this women's finals, in addition to Sun Yingsha leaving a very deep impression on the fans, there is another player who has also impressed many fans, she is Chen Xingtong.
In fact, Chen Xingtong has been famous for a long time, as early as 6 years ago, 20-year-old Chen Xingtong defeated the "Grand Slam" player Ding Ning in the women's singles final of the Swedish Open and won the women's singles championship, which can be said to have brought fans a great surprise at that time!
A year later, in 2018, 21-year-old Chen Xingtong was selected for the women's team list of the Table Tennis World Cup, and finally won the women's team championship with the national table tennis women's team.
However, as Chen Meng gradually matured, Wang Manyu grew rapidly, Sun Yingsha sprung up, and Chen Xingtong never ranked among the top three main lineups of the national table tennis women's team.
After the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Yidi, who was the same age as Chen Xingtong, ushered in an outbreak, suppressing Chen Xingtong in many tournaments in a row, and the world ranking has risen rapidly, rising to the top three in the women's singles world!
Then to this year's Singapore Grand Slam, Chen Xingtong lost 1-3 to the German Chinese chipper Han Ying, you must know that there is an unwritten rule in the national table tennis team, if you can't win against a special style of play, it is difficult to be reused by the national table tennis coaching staff!
In the game at that time, the national table tennis beauty Qian Tianyi ushered in a big explosion, winning 5 consecutive games to advance to the women's singles finals, although she lost to Sun Yingsha in the finals, but the women's singles runner-up made Qian Tianyi's world ranking once surpassed Chen Xingtong, so far Chen Xingtong was squeezed out of the top 5 positions of the national table tennis women's team.
However, Chen Xingtong did not slump, and then at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, Chen Xingtong reached the top 4 of the women's singles and consolidated the position of the main player of the national table tennis women's team, especially the 4-0 elimination of the defending champion Wang Manyu in the top 4, which left a very deep impression on many fans.
Coming to the stage of this women's finals, when Chen Xingtong defeated Wang Manyu again 3-0 in the semifinals of the women's singles and advanced to the semifinals of women's singles, many fans had greater expectations for Chen Xingtong's future games.
However, in the next semi-finals, facing his provincial teammate Wang Yidi, he lost 1-4, and during the game, Chen Xingtong actually picked up his mobile phone to look through it, which made many fans think that Chen Xingtong was suspected of match-fixing.
Let's review the situation at that time, Chen Xingtong was behind with a big score of 1-3 in the first 4 games, and Chen Xingtong was in the lead 5-2 in the 5th game, and then Wang Yidi chased 2 points in a row, and the score came to 5-4, and Chen Xingtong asked for a timeout.
Because it is a national table tennis civil war, there is no coach on the sidelines to guide, and it is all up to the players to adjust, but Chen Xingtong, who was sitting on the sidelines, after wiping his nose, actually picked up the mobile phone in a grand manner, and his fingers obviously looked at it, and then put the mobile phone back.
You must know that in the table tennis competition, players are not allowed to use any telephone, tablet, laptop or any other electronic device before or during the game, so Chen Xingtong picked up the phone to look through it during the suspension of the game, which is completely non-compliant cheating.
You must know that the score at that time was a very tense critical moment, Chen Xingtong actually had the heart to pick up his mobile phone to look through it, instead of seriously thinking about techniques and tactics, which really made many fans think that Chen Xingtong intended to concede Wang Yidi in this game and did not want to win this game.
Back to the game, to say that Chen Xingtong had a very good chance to win this game, leading 10-8 at the end of the game, but then lost 4 points in a row and was reversed by Wang Yidi, so far the big score was 1-4 defeat, missing the women's singles final.
Although Chen Xingtong lost, the results of the women's singles semifinals can completely allow her to stabilize the position of the top 5 main forces of the national table tennis women's team, not to let Qian Tianyi surpass, at least to ensure the place in the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, South Korea in February next year.
In fact, the details of the final moment of the game have already given the answer, and the quality of Wang Yidi's return is very high, and it can be seen that Wang Yidi is full of desire to win the game! Therefore, it is completely reasonable for Wang Yidi to win the game.
And some fans will say that Chen Xingtong defeated Wang Manyu 3-0 in the last round of the game, and lost to Wang Yidi 1-4 in this game, which is indeed a bit confusing.
In fact, fans who have watched the game will know that Wang Manyu was completely out of shape in the match with Chen Xingtong, and there were many unnecessary mistakes, so it is not surprising to lose. And Chen Xingtong faced Wang Yidi, who was in full form, and it was normal for him to lose.
Chen Xingtong's practice of watching his mobile phone during the game should be an unintentional move, but such behavior should be avoided, and the national table tennis coaching staff must always remind the players not to make such a low-level mistake.
In this event, the national table tennis women's team won two championships with undefeated results in foreign battles, and defended the glory of the national ball in a foreign country! Therefore, as fans, there is no need to pay too much attention to the handicap statement, and the competition between the main players of the national table tennis team is mainly to see who is in better shape at that time.
The competition within the national table tennis has always been very fierce, and I hope that the national table tennis coaching staff will create a fair and just competition environment for the national table tennis players and jointly defend the glory of the national ball!
