With the end of the Macau Women's World Cup, although the selection of the Chinese women's table tennis for the singles of the Paris Olympics has not ended, after all, there is still a Saudi Arabia Grand Slam competition behind, but now the lineup of the Chinese women's table tennis in the Paris Olympics has become increasingly clear!
The first is Sun Yingsha.
In this Macau World Cup, Sun Yingsha won the final women's singles championship! But Sun Yingsha's journey to winning the championship was by no means easy!
After entering the knockout round, Sun Yingsha met Chen Xingtong in the first round, you must know that in this year's Singapore Grand Slam, it was Chen Xingtong who eliminated Sun Yingsha in the women's singles 1/4 finals!
Fortunately, facing Chen Xingtong again this time, Sun Yingsha shot very firmly, and finally defeated Chen Xingtong with a score of 4-1 and successfully advanced!
In the semi-finals against Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha also encountered great difficulties, in the face of Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha was also in a very passive situation, reversed and won! Although the fourth game was beaten with a tragic score of 1-11, the fifth game was 6-9 behind, and the sixth game was 1-6 behind, but Sun Yingsha fought hard and finally advanced to the finals with difficulty!
In the final against Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha was even more 0-2 behind, 1-3 behind, just when many fans thought that Sun Yingsha was going to fail this time, Sun Yingsha staged a shocking reversal of three games in a row, and finally defeated Wang Manyu!
Now in the singles selection standings of the Paris Olympics, Sun Yingsha is far ahead!
Then there is Wang Manyu.
In fact, after entering the Paris Olympic selection stage, Wang Manyu's performance was not very good at the beginning, and he was once surpassed by Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, and the world ranking once fell to the fifth position!
But fortunately, after Wang Manyu missed the knockout stage of the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, he began to catch up!
defeated Chen Meng in the semifinals of the Singapore Grand Slam women's singles, and defeated Wang Yidi in the final to win the women's singles championship of the Grand Slam! This also allowed Wang Manyu to surpass Wang Yidi and return to the third position, and at the same time close to the point difference with Chen Meng!
In the Incheon Championships, Wang Manyu once again defeated Chen Meng in the semifinals, although he lost to Sun Yingsha in the final and missed the championship, but in the Olympic selection standings, Wang Manyu has surpassed Chen Meng, not only the world ranking returned to the top two, but in the Paris Olympic singles selection standings, Wang Manyu also successfully came to the second position!
In this Macau World Cup, Wang Manyu went all the way to the finals, facing the world's No. 1 Sun Yingsha in the final, Wang Manyu made full difficult preparations, fought fiercely, and quickly took a 2-0 lead at the beginning!
and once led 3-1 with a big score, but unfortunately, Wang Manyu did not grasp the advantage, and finally lost three games in a row and was reversed by Sun Yingsha!
This women's singles final is indeed a pity for Wang Manyu!
However, despite this, Wang Manyu still relied on the runner-up result, which further widened Chen Meng's score gap! At present, Wang Manyu is very likely to qualify for another singles competition at the Paris Olympics!
Although the veteran Chen Meng lost to Sun Yingsha in the women's singles semifinals, Chen Meng still performed very well in the previous match with Miu Hirano, easily defeating Miu Hirano!
Although Chen Meng has fallen into a championship drought for more than two years, and the current civil war against Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu is still relatively inferior!
So at present, Chen Meng can at least qualify for the team participation in the Paris Olympics!
Since there is still a Saudi Grand Slam tournament in the future, Chen Meng still retains a glimmer of hope for the Olympic singles, that is, to successfully win the final women's singles championship in the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam!
But according to the current state of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, even if Chen Meng can reach the semifinals of the Saudi Grand Slam, Chen Meng will not have the upper hand in the semifinals, whether it is against Sun Yingsha or Wang Manyu!
At the same time, even if you can beat one of them, after advancing to the final, it will be difficult to win the championship against the other!
So at present, Chen Meng's hope of competing in the Olympic singles is very slim, but the qualification of the team is still very stable!
As for Wang Yidi, he has already been declared unsuitable for the singles of the Paris Olympics by Li Falcon, but this time in the World Cup, Wang Yidi lost to the 15-year-old Zhang Benmeihe! This also completely ruined Wang Yidi's dream of the Paris Olympics!
