Two of the top masters in the Chinese table tennis world, the world's No. 1 Sun Yingsha and the world's No. 2 Wang Manyu, staged an exciting and wonderful match on the evening of April 21, Beijing time. This is the 2024 World Cup Women's Singles Final, which will be played at the Galaxy Macau Arena in the mainland. Facing the duel between the two kings, it must be what everyone has been looking forward to, and they also want to know who is the final winner.
So what happened to Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu in this game? Why is it a game that can go down in history? Let's witness this wonderful peak showdown together!
At the beginning of the game, Wang Manyu took the lead in serving. Because they know each other's skills better, they didn't make tentative moves at the beginning, and the two sides directly entered the fast-paced battle as soon as they came up. There is no difference between each other, and you chase me to a 3-3 draw. The contest between the kings is different, and there is no obvious gap. Wang Manyu started the game with an advantage of 11-8 in the first game, but the difference in points was not much different.
Then came the second game, and each other maintained the rhythm of the opening game. Sun Yingsha took the lead in scoring, and Wang Manyu also unceremoniously leveled the score 2-2. Such a fierce picture made the audience chant continuously. Then Wang Manyu suddenly attacked, and after winning two games in a row, he was tied to 4-4 by Sun Yingsha. When the score reached 4-4, Wang Manyu showed a murderous momentum and won the game again with 11-5. Judging from Wang's performance in the previous Incheon Championship, it is clear that this match is well prepared. You must know that Sun Yingsha's ranking has been at the top of the list for a long time, and Wang Manyu has won two games in a row, which still brings a lot of pressure to Sun Yingsha. So, in the face of Wang Manyu's strong attack, can Sun Yingsha turn the tables in the end?
In the third game, Sun Yingsha adjusted her tactics, took the initiative to change, fought quickly, and won the winning point of the game 11-4. But in the early stage, Wang Manyu was in hot pursuit, and it was not until after a 3-3 draw that Sun Yingsha took a relatively large lead.
The fourth game is also a very crucial game for both sides, because the final adopts a best-of-seven system, so Sun Yingsha started in this game, and the momentum was obviously taken back. The two still scored alternately, and after Wang Manyu scored 6 points in a row, they once again snatched the initiative of the game 11-5. Wang Manyu led Sun Yingsha 1-3.
Sun Yingsha made timely adjustments in the fifth game and established a 4-1 advantage in the opening stage. It seems that he was forced to the edge of the cliff and had to show his strength. Although Wang Manyu was trying to catch up, Sun Yingsha still won 11-8 and successfully rewrote the score to 2-3.
In the sixth game of the game, Wang Manyu still failed to withstand Sun Yingsha's tenacity and scored 3-3. With such a gripping rhythm of the game, the seventh game was the most exciting, and it was also a cruel tiebreaker. At the same time, there was a little controversy in this game, because Sun Yingsha served and was penalized by the referee for 1 point. At this time, Wang Manyu seized the opportunity and successfully chased the previous 1-5 to 9-9.
In the end, in the final of Wang Manyu's Singapore WTT Grand Slam women's singles championship and Sun Yingsha's Incheon women's singles championship, Sun Yingsha locked the tiebreaker 11-9 and won the women's singles World Cup championship for the first time, with a big score of 4-3. When Sun Yingsha finished the game, she fell to the ground to celebrate after winning the championship, and kissed the table at the same time.
In this game, the scores of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu in each game are not much different. If you want to say who is the best, there is no absolute value, and each other is excellent. So, this is definitely a pinnacle showdown that can go down in history!
Although Sun Yingsha has long been at the top of the world rankings, this is a World Cup singles matchup between her and Wang Manyu, and it is also the first time she has won the women's singles World Cup. Thank you to the two outstanding athletes for a wonderful competition for all of us!
