Wang Manyu's tenacity and hard work are admirable, and may fate favor this tireless struggler. In the national table tennis women's team, it is Wang Manyu who is looking for another stable and efficient player other than Sun Yingsha.
Since childhood, he has competed with Sun Yingsha on the same stage, and the two have grown up together and become the pillar force of national table tennis. It is very appropriate to describe them with "gathering is a fire, and scattering is full of stars". When the singles are fighting separately, they are like twin stars shining in the sky. Especially after the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Manyu once surpassed Sun Yingsha and won the singles championship of the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships in a row. However, injuries and coach changes put her form down the rails and her Olympic qualification was in jeopardy.
In 2024, Wang Manyu will regain her form in self-redemption, and she will lead the national table tennis team to defeat the Indian team at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, and perform well. Since then, she won the women's doubles championship with Chen Meng in the Singapore Grand Slam, and won the championship in the singles field. Despite losing to Sun Yingsha in the final of the Incheon Championship, her performance at the World Cup in Macau was crucial. Facing Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, Wang Manyu has a 1,555-point lead in Olympic points, and if she continues to maintain her form in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, the singles qualification for the Paris Olympics is almost a foregone conclusion.
In this fierce battle of technical and psychological tests, Wang Manyu showed her tenacity and ability to withstand pressure. Although the seven-game battle with Sun Yingsha ended in failure, her performance lived up to the expectations of fans. Wang's World Cup journey has proven that she is not only highly skilled, but also unyielding, and it is a sign that we will have the privilege of witnessing her fight alongside Sun Yingsha again at the upcoming Paris Olympics.
