The table tennis Macau World Cup has entered the tense semi-final stage, and the Chinese table tennis team has attracted much attention. In the men's and women's singles semifinals, the focus battle will be staged, and the Chinese table tennis will face Zhang Benzhi and his brother and sister respectively. Among them, Lin Gaoyuan will face Tomokazu Zhangmoto, while Wang Manyu will face Miwa Zhangmoto. These two matches will undoubtedly be the focus of the entire World Cup.
The Chinese table tennis team paid close attention to Wang Manyu's match against Zhang Benmeihe. Zhang Benmeihe has been confirmed to be selected for the Paris Olympic team squad, and Wang Manyu is basically on the national team list. However, her singles qualification is yet to be determined and will need to be fought for by her own performance. The current World Cup events are crucial for points accumulation. Wang Manyu must go all out to win, not only for the Chinese team, but also to secure her place in the national team's singles events. This match was not just a battle between winners and losers, but a pivotal battle that would determine her future career.
The Olympic selection reward point system set up by the Chinese table tennis team pushed the game to a climax. Champions will receive significant bonus points that will hopefully improve their rankings and secure their Olympic qualifications, while failure may result in a drop in points that will affect future qualifications. For Wang Manyu, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. She will need to go all out and defeat Miwa Zhang to establish herself in the Olympic singles event.
Last year, the Chinese table tennis team formulated a system of awarding points for Olympic selection, treating the World Cup on an equal footing with Grand Slam events. The winner will receive 3,000 points, the runners-up 1,500 points, and the semi-finals 750 points, which are no less important than the Grand Slam tournaments. The winner will be rewarded with generous points, which, combined with world ranking points, will dramatically change the competitive position of the athlete in the Olympic selection. This reward system motivates athletes to give it their all, and each event could become a key battle for their Olympic qualification.
Recently, the Chinese table tennis team issued new rules that clarified Sun Yingsha's advantage in terms of points lead, essentially confirming her singles qualifications. Another player, Wang Yidi, was deemed unfit to continue competing for Olympic singles qualification due to her defeat against her main rival, Japan. This means that the current competition for the Olympic singles selection has narrowed to the point between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng. The two players will compete in the next tournament for the final spot in Olympic singles qualification.
At present, the competition for Olympic points between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng has entered a white-hot stage. There is only 210 points separating them, which makes the importance of this tournament even more important. The outcome of this tournament will have a direct impact on the duo's competitive position in the Olympic selections. Observing the performance of foreign wars in the past year, Wang Manyu has indeed performed better. Last year, Chen Meng lost to Samara and Szokos, while Wang Manyu also lost to Chen Xingtong in two meetings, and failed to earn bonus points. However, Wang's performance this year has been remarkable. She won the Singapore Grand Slam and finished runner-up at the Incheon Championship, which allowed her to beat Chen Meng by 210 points.
For the Chinese table tennis team, the punishment for losing an international match is severe. National table tennis has always regarded the results of foreign wars as more important than civil wars, especially in international competitions, such as the Olympic Games, they have always pursued the goal of winning the championship externally. In order to ensure that the players in the team go all out on the international stage, the national table tennis has taken a series of measures, including a penalty of deducting 3,000 points for players who lose foreign battles.
In Wang Manyu's match against Zhang Benmeihe, victory was crucial for Wang Manyu. If she can win the match, she will receive 1,500 bonus points as well as 1,400 world ranking points, which will greatly boost her ranking and competitive advantage. However, if she loses, she will only be able to earn 750 World Ranking points, while also suffering a penalty of 3,000 points deducted. That's a huge difference of 5,150 points, meaning the winner will be decided in this game.
Although Wang Manyu has a better chance of defeating Zhang Benmeihe, he still needs to face a fierce semi-final. According to statistics, she has an 80% chance of winning when she plays normally. In comparison, Chen Mengmeng's chance of defeating Sun Yingsha is only 30%. In the last few encounters, Chen Meng has lost to Sun Yingsha, which makes her even more pressure. Although it seems that Wang Manyu is relatively in a favorable position at present, this semi-final is still a battle of life and death.
For Wang Manyu, this match is not only a technical duel, but also a psychological battle. She needs to stay calm in the game, overcome the tension and pressure, give her all and not miss out. Every return she returns, every serve she serves, will determine the direction of the match. And her opponent Miwa Zhang will not give up easily, she will go all out, fight for every opportunity, and win for herself.
On the other hand, Chen Meng faces an even greater challenge. Although her opponent is Sun Yingsha, Sun's strength and back-to-back record of defeating Chen Meng make this match even tougher. Chen Meng needs to surpass herself, overcome her inner fear and anxiety, and go all out to meet this challenge. She must believe in her abilities and be determined on the path to victory.
In this life-and-death battle, every player will give their best and fight for their dreams and honors. Their every move will attract the attention and anticipation of the audience. Their fighting spirit and tenacious will will become the most eye-catching scenery in the competition. Whatever the end result, they deserve respect and praise.
This semi-final will also become a good story in the table tennis world and will be praised by future generations. Whether it is Wang Manyu or Chen Meng, they will write their own legends in their own way. And the winner of this competition will advance to the finals and compete for the ultimate honor and trophy, and be in the limelight. This semi-final is destined to become an indelible mark in the history of table tennis.
