On April 22, the table tennis singles World Cup championship came to an end. Sun Yingsha reversed Wang Manyu 4-3 to win the championship with better psychological quality, making up for the regret of losing 1-4 to Chen Meng when she first logged into the World Cup finals of the world's three major tournaments three years ago. Sun Yingsha has been emerging since 17, in 19 years because she can maintain a high winning rate against Ito Misei to enter the main team of national table tennis, in 21 years won the Olympic singles opportunity, and also lost to Chen Meng in the final and won a silver medal, which more or less made Sun Yingsha a little uneasy.
Return to Sun Yingsha's performance in the three major events (World Championships, Olympic Games, World Cup).
In 2019, Sun Yingsha participated in the World Championships for the first time, losing to Wang Manyu 2-4 in the quarterfinals and stopping in the quarterfinals.
In the 2020 Weihai World Cup, Sun Yingsha participated in the World Series for the second time, the first to participate in the World Cup, and successfully entered the final, but lost to Chen Meng 1-4 in the final and missed the chance to become the world singles champion, Chen Meng also won the World Series championship for the first time.
In 2021, at the Tokyo Olympics, Misei Ito was 4-0 in the semifinals, and lost to Chen Meng again in the finals 2-4 and missed the championship.
In 2021, at the World Championships in Houston, Sun Yingsha reached the final of the World Championships for the first time, but also lost to Wang Manyu 2-4 in the final. There was also a small episode in this game, Wang Manyu, the first goal of the opening game, said that Sun Yingsha's clothes touched the ball, and he stopped attacking, and finally the referee awarded the score to Sun Yingsha
At the 2023 World Championships in Durban, Sun Yingsha entered the final again, and her opponent in the final was Olympic champion Chen Meng, who had never won the World Championships. Sun Yingsha defeated Chen Meng 4-2 to win the singles championship of the world's three major tournaments for the first time and was promoted to the title of world champion.
In the 2024 Macau World Cup, Sun Yingsha once again entered the World Cup finals, and reversed Wang Manyu 4-3 to win the championship after falling behind 1-3. This is also Sun Yingsha's first time winning the cup! This time there was also a small episode, in the ninth point of the tiebreaker, Sun Yingsha felt that it was rubbing, but the referee awarded it to Wang Manyu.
Since 2020, Sun Yingsha has entered the final in all three major competitions, ranking second in the first three times, and winning the final championship in the last two times. The Paris Olympics will start in three months, and if Sun Yingsha can win the title, then she can achieve three consecutive titles in three major events. Then her road to the Grand Slam will run from May 28, 2023 to August 10, 2024, lasting 440 days, although it is a little slower than Zhang Jike's 425 days, but it is good enough.
After Sun Yingsha won the World Cup, she also posted three thanks on social media. One of the thanks was given to her head coach Qiu Yike. I have to say that Qiu Yike's help to Sun Yingsha will break the embarrassing scene of not winning the World Series in 2023 after taking over Sun Yingsha in 2022. Now that he has won consecutive championships, as long as he gets the Olympic singles championship this year, he will become another Grand Slam player after Ding Ning!
