In the just-concluded women's singles knockout match of the Macau World Cup, Chen Meng, the first sister of national table tennis, played well, quickly solved the battle within 30 minutes, and finally swept the opponent Savita Butt with a score of 4-0 and won the game to advance to the quarterfinals. As a result, counting Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan, who have already been promoted, 3 people in national table tennis have entered the top 8, while Wang Yidi, Kuo Man and Liang Jingkun have unfortunately been eliminated.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides in this match, with Chen Meng ranked fourth in the world and her opponent being unknown. Therefore, before the game, many fans felt that Chen Meng would not have too much pressure in this game, and after the game started, Chen Meng's performance really proved this.
After the start of the first game, because the state of both sides was relatively slow, the score was very tight, Chen Meng did not grasp the game point in the case of 10-9, but fortunately, he scored 2 points in a row and won the first game 12-10. Entering the second game, Chen Meng's state gradually improved, and he quickly established his advantage after beating his opponent without fighting back, and finally won the game with a score of 11-4. The aggregate score was extended to 2-0.
Entering the third game, Chen Meng made another dream start, scoring consecutive points to lead the opponent. Although Savita Butt asked for a timeout, hoping to disrupt Chen's rhythm, it was to no avail. After returning from the timeout, Chen Meng continued to extend his lead, and the score was 6-0 at one point. Although the opponent was in hot pursuit, Chen Meng still maintained a big lead, and finally won the third game 11-5.
Entering the fourth game of life and death, the opponent began to fight back wildly, Chen Meng played more difficult, but even in this case, Chen Meng did not let the opponent get a chance to counterattack, and controlled the situation very stably, and finally won the last game 11-4, and completely collapsed the opponent with a big score of 4-0 to advance to the quarterfinals.
After this battle, the national table tennis counted Kuo Man, who was eliminated before, and Liang Jingkun and Wang Yidi, who suffered a round of tours in the knockout round, and the Chinese team has three main players out. Chen Meng, on the other hand, joined hands with Lin Gaoyuan and Ma Long to advance to the quarterfinals and achieved a very good performance.
Here I would like to congratulate Chen Meng again, the form of the last few games has allowed many fans to see her peak performance from 2019 to 20, which is gratifying. This Macau World Cup is very important for Chen Meng, in addition to competing for bonus points and championships, more importantly, competing for tickets to the Paris Olympics, there is only one winner between her and Wang Manyu.
Judging from Chen Meng's performance now, she undoubtedly has the strength to impact the championship and strive for good results. We also hope that she will not be plagued by injuries again, and that she will be able to do well in this tournament and make a bid for a singles ticket to the Paris Olympics.
