The Doha Star Challenge has entered the final day of the competition, and the semi-finals are Sun Yingsha vs Wang Manyu and Chen Meng vs Qian Tianyi. Although Qian Tianyi swept Wang Yidi in the eight-in-four game, in the face of Chen Meng, Qian Tianyi still had the upper hand. If Qian Tianyi faces Chen Meng and plays a game like Wang Yidi, he will definitely be able to enter the finals.
Qian Tianyi used a quick forehand and backhand connection to successfully disrupt Wang Yidi's offensive rhythm. Qian Tianyi's current comprehensive strength is not weaker than Sun Yingsha, if she fights against Sun Yingsha in the eight-in-four game, it is estimated that the two sides will not be able to distinguish the winner until the tiebreaker. If Qian Tianyi shows his performance against Wang Yidi and fights Sun Yingsha or Chen Meng, he still has a chance to win.
Why is it said that Chen Meng will definitely be able to win against Qian Tianyi? Is it because the two sides have a similar style of play? Not really. Although the two sides have played each other in the previous Table Tennis Super League, Chen Meng also achieved a performance of sweeping the opponent, but Chen Meng's defeat of Qian Tianyi did not rely on overall skills and tactics, but on a strong "heritage".
In the previous game against Zhang Rui, Chen Meng directly gave the opponent an 11-1 score when he lost a game 6-11. This is Chen Meng's heritage, what is the heritage? This is determined by a player's position in the team, and it is also a player's popularity and prestige accumulated over a long period of time.
As some fans said, Chen Meng is the captain of the national table tennis team and the eldest sister in the team. Therefore, as long as Chen Meng plays, his aura is indeed very strong, and he has more suppressive power in the game. Although Chen Meng is already a veteran, from a technical point of view, young players have more advantages.
But the reason why veterans can maintain their position in the team is a manifestation of comprehensive strength, which is not only reflected on the field, but also in the leadership off the field. Now every national table tennis player will affectionately call her Sister Meng whenever they mention Chen Meng, which is the embodiment of the veteran's heritage.
Chen Meng not only conquered the fans on the field, but also conquered his teammates. Qian Tianyi also showed a good upward momentum, and it was she who defeated Wang Yidi, which extended the time for Chen Meng and Wang Yidi not to fight. If Chen Meng goes to fight against Wang Yidi, the result of the game is really hard to predict.
Chen Meng does have the motivation to win, because only by defeating Qian Tianyi can he reach the finals, so that Chen Meng's point advantage will not decline, which is conducive to the rise of the ranking. If Wang Manyu stops in the semifinals this time and Chen Meng reaches the final, then Chen Meng's ranking is expected to surpass Wang Manyu.
And Sun Yingsha can only help Chen Meng's ranking improve by defeating Wang Manyu, so this semi-final between Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu will definitely be related to the subsequent world rankings. The match between the two is very interesting every time, and Wang Manyu is currently challenging Sun Yingsha more and more. The outcome of the match between the two sides is difficult to predict every time, and it is almost impossible to decide the winner until the tiebreaker.
For Wang Manyu, the task of the competition has been completed this time, and the main competitor Chen Xingtong has also been defeated. Reaching the semi-finals is Wang Manyu's current minimum goal, and of course, reaching the final basically means winning the championship. The match between Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha was the first, and the match between Chen Meng and Qian Tianyi was held last.
If Wang Manyu takes the lead in the finals, the opponent in the final may be Qian Tianyi. Sun Yingsha entered the finals, and Chen Meng's probability of reaching the finals is indeed higher. In fact, Sun Yingsha can fight a foreign war, and she is now facing the pressure of a foreign war. Hina Hayata, Miwa Zhangmoto, and others were able to drag Sun Yingsha into the tiebreaker, which confused many fans.
In this challenge, Sun Yingsha was able to sweep Zhang Benmei and made the fans very happy, but they didn't expect that the subsequent match against Hina Hayada would be so difficult. Fans are worried that Sun Yingsha may not be able to meet her teammates in the finals of the singles competition at the Olympics, and if the competitor retains some killer moves, then she may be able to beat Sun Yingsha in the Olympic competition.
At present, there is indeed such a possibility, and several Japanese table tennis players are currently very balanced, and the advantage in the receiving round is particularly obvious. was dragged to the tiebreaker by Japanese table tennis players again and again, and Sun Yingsha's advantage against Japanese table tennis players is indeed shrinking. Hina Hayada studied two more sets of serving methods this time, which caused Sun Yingsha to be passive in the game.
Of course, Sun Yingsha didn't want to retire from the stage, but the opponent's shots were all on the rise, and only by retreating from the stage could she catch the ball back. The area of this retreat and protection platform cannot keep up, which is a topic that Sun Yingsha has to face. At present, Wang Manyu's foreign war has become very stable, but the use of tactics and strategies needs to be strengthened in the game with his teammates.
Although Wang Manyu won the game against Chen Xingtong, from the process of the game, he still did not have an advantage in the ball holding session. Wang Manyu played more control of the ball in the table and the serve of the first three boards, and the advantage in the face of Chen Xingtong was obvious. It's just that Wang Manyu is still used to playing each other, if she still insists on holding the ball against Sun Yingsha, then Sun Yingsha is more likely to win, because this is the offensive rhythm she wants most.
Wang Manyu should still be guided by the results of the game, and fans are also worried that she will make mistakes in the game again, how to give full play to her advantages and limit the opponent's shortcomings is the real way to win. Wang Manyu is now going through this competition, and the biggest competitor of this player is herself, not other players.
