On January 13, Beijing time, a women's singles pinnacle showdown of the WTT Doha Star Challenge was launched between Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong, and this time it was an absolute grudge battle between the two of them.
Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong have already detonated controversy before, after Chen Xingtong eliminated Wang Manyu 3-0, she faced Wang Yidi again, and the result was that she was reported for looking at her mobile phone in violation of the game in that game. There are even many fans of Wang Manyu who asked for an additional ban on Chen Xingtong, which made Chen Xingtong fall into a long-term slump and his form declined.
So now the two sides are facing each other again, this is a continuation of the story of grievances, Wang Manyu must take revenge, and at the same time, Chen Xingtong is also looking forward to killing Wang Manyu twice to prove himself, and two consecutive competitions to stop Wang Manyu's championship dream. In this competition, Wang Manyu attacked on a third-line basis, and the result was that she and Chen Meng teamed up in the previous women's doubles, and lost to Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi 1-3, missing the women's doubles championship.
However, Wang Manyu obviously came prepared for this game, studied Chen Xingtong, and was fully prepared. In the first game, she played a wonderful score of 11:5, full of firepower, and completely suppressed Chen Xingtong. The problems that he had in the previous loss to Chen Xingtong, including too many backhand mistakes, etc., as well as not having an advantage in the stalemate, these shortcomings have been solved.
Until the second game, Chen Xingtong adjusted a little, and the two sides played very fiercely, but from the middle game, Wang Manyu exerted his strength again and maintained a two-point advantage, from 6:4 to 7:5 and 9:7, Chen Xingtong still found a way to hold on to Wang Manyu, but in the end, Wang Manyu won again at 11:8 in the second game.
In the 3rd game, Wang Manyu still maintained the true character of a cold-faced killer, and what is a little incomprehensible is that Chen Xingtong's fighting spirit in this game does not seem to be as strong as before, like in the 3rd game, she has been behind Wang Manyu, and the key ball 6:8 could have been called a timeout to adjust, but it was not called a timeout, there was no previous change, and there was no very good ball speed before. I don't know why? Chen Xingtong in this game didn't play like her, and finally after Wang Manyu won the match point with a forehand in the third game, Chen Xingtong still refused to call a timeout, as if he had accepted the result.
Then with a counterattack with one of her forehands through the ball, 11:8, Wang Manyu won Chen Xingtong again, and only allowed Chen Xingtong to score 21 points in three games. This ball is played too fast, to what extent is it exaggerated? No. 1 platform Liang Jingkun and Lin Yunru have not finished the three games, and now the winner has been directly decided here, can you believe it?
No one knows why Chen Xingtong, who had been very effective in the previous pause, adjusted his strain in this game, especially when he called the timeout so late and was so slow. In the end, Chen Xingtong was given a counterattack by Wang Manyu with the same score, you beat me 3:0, I will also beat you 3:0, in Wang Manyu's state today, it is indeed a bit of a dream back to the peak, 3-0 defeated her biggest nemesis Chen Xingtong, even if it is Sun Yingsha, I am afraid it is not an opponent. In this way, Wang Manyu also successfully became the first national table tennis female player to advance, if Sun Yingsha can win Hina Hayata, the two will have another semi-final.
