On March 31, Beijing time, the WTT Incheon Championship entered the final match, and the final men's and women's singles champions were born! At present, the women's singles final has ended, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Manyu 4-0, and the whole game only took 32 minutes.
Congratulations to Sun Yingsha for winning the women's singles championship in this tournament! Although Wang Manyu won the runner-up, she continued to consolidate her position as the second in the world in the world rankings, and the important thing is that she has surpassed Chen Meng to rise to the second place in the national table tennis women's team in the Paris Olympic selection points.
Although there are still two tournaments before the Paris Olympic selection deadline for the women's national table tennis team, one is the Table Tennis Singles World Cup in Macao on April 15, and the other is the Saudi Grand Slam on May 1, Wang Manyu undoubtedly has a head start in the competition for the women's singles quota at the Paris Olympics.
The men's singles final is undoubtedly more concerned by the Chinese people, because it is a national table tennis foreign battle, Liang Jingkun against Brazilian player Hugo. In the men's singles semifinals, Hugo eliminated the top seed in the men's singles 4-2, Fan Zhendong, so far the national table tennis men's team has not achieved the men's singles final. And Fan Zhendong really has to make adjustments after losing the foreign war, and his recent form is too poor.
Brazilian player Hugo's performance in this tournament was amazing, knocking out Japanese national champion Hayasuke Togami 3-2 in the first round, and then sending away the Lebrun brothers of France in the next two rounds, especially in the 1/4 finals 3-0 swept the younger brother Felix Lebrun of the Lebrun brothers, completely dominating the game, and defeating the top seed Fan Zhendong in the semifinals, I have to say that Hugo's form is really good.
In the first round, against Sweden's Carlberg, the opponent won two games in a row after winning 2 games first, and only won 2 points in the deciding game 11-9;
In the second game, against the Slovenian star Darko, he lost a game first, and fell behind 7-10 in the second game, but fortunately, he quickly adjusted, scored 5 points in a row to win the second game, and gradually grasped the initiative of the game, and defeated Darko 3-1.
In the next 1/4 finals against France's Simon Goetz, Liang Jingkun was still slow to heat up, losing two games in a row, and then winning three games in a row, and even saving 3 match points, winning is really thrilling.
