At 10 p.m. Beijing time on May 2, the draw ceremony for the main draw stage of the 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam officially kicked off. This moment not only affects the hearts of countless table tennis fans, but also determines the fate of many players.
The high-profile draw ceremony was attended by world No. 1 men's and women's singles players Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin of China, as well as Omar from Egypt in Africa and Takahashi from Brazil in the Americas. Their appearance made the whole scene more solemn and warm.
The national table tennis women's team encountered a lot of challenges in this competition. The women's team is in the first half of the region, Sun Yingsha will face Liu Xinyin in the first round, and in the same division, there are strong opponents like South Korea's first sister Tian Zhixi. Chen Xingtong will face Romanian veteran Samara in the first round, and Qian Tian's opponent in the first round is Ni Xialian. Of these three, only one was able to advance to the quarterfinals of the women's singles, which undoubtedly made the suspense of the match even stronger.
Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are in the same lower half of the bracket, and as they are direct contenders for the second women's singles quota place in the Paris Olympics, this match is of great significance to them. If the two make it to the mix, then in the semi-finals, a "battle of the end" will be inevitable. And this will also be the last stop of the national table tennis women's team selection for the Paris Olympics, and its importance is self-evident.
For Chen Meng, the signing situation this time is too difficult. Every match she faces is a tough one, and she will have to make sure she doesn't lose out on the outside to qualify for the Paris Olympics in singles. At the same time, Sun Yingsha also encountered a lot of trouble.
Surprisingly, she has been in the same 1/4 district with Chen Xingtong 3 times in a row, and in this division, there is also a strong Qian Tianyi. Although Sun Yingsha's points have reached an unshakable height, she has been fighting a civil war all the time, which is undoubtedly a huge consumption for her, both in terms of physical strength and energy, and she is facing a severe test.
Judging from the situation of the entire women's team, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu face a greater challenge, and the main task is to fight against Japanese players. Sun Yingsha's situation is relatively good, and Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi need to fight hard. At present, Chen Meng's points are ranked behind Wang Manyu, and only Chen Meng wins the championship, which is more beneficial to fight for the women's singles ticket to the Paris Olympics.
On the men's singles side, the eye-catching Fan Zhendong was placed in the lower half, and it was a coincidence that he was once again in the same zone as the strong Hugo. Although Fan Zhendong does not have much pressure to qualify for the Paris Olympics, he has his own lofty aspirations in his heart.
For Fan Zhendong, he is only one crucial Olympic gold medal away from completing the Grand Slam. This goal is like a shining beacon, illuminating his path forward, and making him strive for it unremittingly and give it his all. On this path full of challenges and opportunities, he will show unwavering determination and tenacity to challenge for the coveted title.
