On April 21, Beijing time, the 2024 ITTF Men's Singles and Women's Singles World Cup entered the final day, and the national table tennis won 2 golds and 2 silvers!
【Men's Singles World Cup】
Semifinal:
Ma Long 4-0 Wang Chuqin [11-9, 12-10, 11-6, 14-12]
Lin Gaoyuan 4-0 Tomokazu Zhang [11-9,11-6,11-6,11-1]
The 36-year-old veteran eliminated the first four-time gold medalist in the history of the Asian Games, the new Singapore Grand Slam champion, and the world No. 1, which is really a surprise! Judging from the competition, the long and short control is handy, and this is Ma Long's usual tactic in the third Olympic cycle, especially against Lebrun Jr., who has no choice! This time, Wang Chuqin is also a little tired. The backhand large-angle fight is accurate, as if guided, which is relatively rare in the Paris Olympic cycle, and this is precisely Wang Chuqin's tried and tested killer weapon, however, this time the feng shui turns! Judging from the results, 0-4 is not a true reflection of the strength of the two sides, Wang Chuqin is a little anxious, and the last ball is directly sent out of bounds, but the loss is not necessarily a bad thing, not to mention that the opponent is the Dragon team, but it can't be taken for granted, because there is only one champion, and the champion is undefeated.
Lin Gaoyuan's victory was expected, and although Zhang Benzhihe is ranked 9th in the world, this is the first time this site has played against national table tennis. And Lin Gaoyuan defeated the world's No. 2 Fan Zhendong 4-2 in the last round, and the strength of his backhand made people marvel again and again, and Fan Zhendong, who was especially able to hold on, couldn't bear it, let alone Zhang Ben!
In the post-match interview, Tomokazu Zhang said that he played quite well, but Lin Gaoyuan played very well! Lin Gaoyuan said: "Today's game is not easy, and it is also a gift to be able to play in this atmosphere; it is the first time to reach the final of the World Series, there is nothing to worry about, and I enjoy the hard-won final!"
Final, 20:20 T1 Ma Long VS Lin Gaoyuan
If Ma Long wins the championship, he will be the triple champion of the World Cup, and if he wins the Olympic men's singles championship again, it will be really a terrifying three-lap Grand Slam! Lin Gaoyuan made a breakthrough in the semifinals and advanced to the World Series final for the first time, and if he wins the championship, he will be the most important champion of his career.
【Women's Singles World Cup】
Semifinal:
Wang Manyu 4-2 Zhang Benmei [11-9,11-6,6-11,11-6,9-11,13-11]
孙颖莎4-2陈梦【11-13，12-10，11-6，1-11，14-12，11-9】
Wang Manyu should have experienced the pressure brought by a 15-year-old girl, especially in the 6th game, when she fell behind 10-11, but not dropping the chain at critical moments is the quality of the game that Wang Manyu has always shown, from the Tokyo Olympics to the main team team, not Liu Shiwen, to winning the championship in the Western Security Games, and then to winning the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, daring to fight along the way is everyone's impression of her, which is also an indispensable quality of the competition.
Chen Meng beat Sun Yingsha with a wave of 11-1, which is really surprising! However, Sun Yingsha quickly adjusted and responded in time, and the big score loss was like a light breeze, 14-12, 11-9 in two consecutive cities, winning the critical moment.
In the post-match interview, Sun Yingsha said, "Sister Meng and I performed very well, and every point and round was very exciting. Going through such a game has also improved me a lot. We train and live together, we know each other very well, we know each other as soon as we shoot. After reaching the final, I was very relaxed and had released myself. Tomorrow will definitely be a tough match, and I know Manyu very well, so I'll give it my all tomorrow. It's really time to rest today."
Final, 19:30 T2 Sun Yingsha VS Wang Manyu
The World Cup will usher in a new king!
