On April 18, Beijing time, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng met on a narrow road, Wang Manyu was sent straight to the semifinals, the national table tennis World Cup championship pattern was reshuffled, and the Olympic singles quota changed again.
The five superstars of the Chinese national table tennis women's team entered the top 16 of the Macau World Cup, and the group draw ceremony finally ended, and after the results of the group draw appeared, I have to say that Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng are very dangerous, Sasha won the championship not smoothly, and it was also difficult for Chen Meng to beat Wang Manyu. On the other hand, Wang Manyu's journey to win the championship in the second half of the region is very flat, and the championship pattern this time is destined to be reshuffled because of the draw results of the knockout round.
After the draw results came out, the most unfavorable was Sun Yingsha, who was ranked No. 1 in the world, and Sasha was ranked particularly high, but every time she got the strongest opponent. This time, she was very unfortunate to meet her teammate Chen Xingtong in the first round. In addition, Sasha also has a very good opponent like Zheng Yijing in this half, and the most important thing is that Sun Yingsha is in the 1/4 half, and Chen Meng is divided into the 2/4 half.
Although Chen Meng's first opponent, Savita But, is not very strong, but she will face the victors of Miu Hirano and Shiki Tian next, and it is likely that she will face Japan's No. 2 ace, so Chen Meng is not going well. And as soon as this group comes out, it means that Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng will inevitably break out in advance on the way to the finals, which is very unfavorable to Sasha.
Fighting a strong opponent like Chen Xing and Chen Meng in a row, if Sun Yingsha can enter the finals and fight Wang Manyu and finally win the championship, the gold content will definitely be full, but the difficulty of winning the championship is also the most difficult, so it can be said that Sasha drew a very unfavorable lottery.
Of course, the same is true for Chen Meng, she originally wanted to take advantage of the championship of this World Cup to find a chance to overtake Wang Manyu to regain the No. 2 singles position in the Olympics, but looking at the current situation, even if she passes the first round easily, if she faces Miyu Hirano in the future, is it really that easy to face Sun Yingsha? And Sun Yingsha met Chen Xingtong this time, Chen Xingtong happened to be the player who eliminated Sun Yingsha in the previous Singapore Grand Slam, so it is Sun Yingsha who has encountered a nemesis.
So since Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha have both encountered the most difficult lottery and are in the same half, it is very simple, and the difficulty of the next half of Wang Manyu is much lower. Sure enough, this time there are only Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, the two main players of national table tennis, in the second half of the area, and Wang Yidi is also very difficult to match Zhang Benmei and the promotion journey, maybe you won't see Wang Manyu.
And Wang Manyu is in the 4/4 semi-zone, the opponent in the first round is Szokos, and the second round is the winner of Hina Hayada and Shin Yubin, to be honest, this is still a good thing for Wang Manyufa. Szokos is Chen Meng's nemesis, but it is basically not difficult for Wang Manyu to beat her, and beating Hina Hayada is also a good opportunity for Wang Manyu to prove himself.
Because in this Olympic cycle, she is the athlete with the least main force in Japan, Sun Yingsha has played 21 times, Chen Meng has also played 9 times, and only Wang Manyu has played 2 times, so she needs to play more Japanese core to prove herself. In this way, if Hina Hayada wins the finals and then fights Sun Yingsha to win the championship, then he can basically have a stable place in the No. 2 singles of the Olympic Games, and Chen Meng will not be able to surpass him at that time.
So this time when Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng met in a narrow way, Wang Manyu was destined to become the biggest winner of the group, it can only be said that her luck in this World Cup is indeed very good, and the World Cup, a top competition, as long as she wins the championship, her status in the hearts of the coaching staff will be improved a lot, how much importance does the national table tennis attach to this competition? As long as you lose to a foreign player, you will directly deduct 3000 points. This is a God-given opportunity for Wang Manyu to counterattack, if this game is played well and beats Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng to win the championship, let alone replace Chen Meng to lock in an Olympic place, she may even threaten Sun Yingsha's first sister throne.
