On April 18, in the 1/8 finals of the 2024 Macau World Cup women's singles, after Chen Meng advanced, Wang Manyu also defeated Bernadette Szokos 4-1 and successfully advanced to the top 8, with the scores of [9-11, 11-7, 11-7, 12-10, 11-7] in five games
Speaking of which, Szokos is also a national table tennis sufferer, he has defeated Chen Meng twice, and Wang Manyu and Szokos have not played each other for 6 years, facing this opponent who has not been met for 6 years, Wang Manyu, the ability to solve problems on the spot is really strong, and she was beaten up with Szokos's best match, which was too ruthless.
Wang Manyu's fans at the scene are also very crazy, and they cheered Wang Manyu up throughout the scene, should I say it or not, those girls in the national table tennis rice circle still work, they really went to the scene to spend money to support idols, and Wang Manyu's current popularity in the national table tennis rice circle is really second only to Sun Yingsha's existence.
It's a pity that some Chinese viewers at the scene didn't pay much attention to the etiquette of watching the game in order to support their idols to win, and in addition to yelling, they also turned on the flash to affect the players, which was also dissatisfied by netizens.
After the game, Wang Manyu was also interviewed by the event reporter.
Reporter: Wang Manyu was a little anxious at the end of the first game of the game?
Wang Manyu: Well, in fact, the fight is still good, whether it is launched or not, including the execution of tactical preparations, I think it is good, and then at the end of the game I think, and then the rhythm became faster, when she won in a row, this rhythm felt uncontrolled, that is, it was not that she wanted to be in a hurry, but the rhythm on the whole court was a little slow, but I felt that after losing the first game, in fact, the feeling from the ball was not very awkward, so I still adjusted it in time.
Reporter: In the second and third games, there were actually some cases of being chased by opponents, and how did you avoid the first game again?
Wang Manyu: It's to learn from the experience of the first game, it's to slow down the rhythm, I think it's especially in the case of consecutive losses, we must try to drag this rhythm as much as possible.
Reporter: In the fourth game, you were chasing points, and you hit some very burning balls, how did you adjust in the fourth game?
Wang Manyu: First of all, Szokos played very well, uh, there were a lot of good balls, and she played very well.
Reporter: In the fifth game, was it completely released?
Wang Manyu: Well, because after leading 3-1, the whole mentality has a certain advantage, so be more practical.
Congratulations again to Wang Manyu, she is getting closer and closer to the Paris Olympic quota. The only thing is that I hope Wang Manyu won't talk too much about technical and tactical experience, and he just knows it in his heart.
