On May 6, Beijing time, the 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam entered the third day of competition, although it was only the second round of the game, but today's upsets continued, the two main players of national table tennis were upset in a row, Liang Jingkun lost to Alamiyan 2-3, the whole game was chaotic, there was basically no tactics at all, and the mistakes kept sending points, and he basically missed the Paris Olympics.
And Wang Manyu also lost the foreign war, facing the Indian sister Batra, Wang Manyu won one game first, was reversed three games, the first game was actually a relatively normal play, but in the second game Wang Manyu's state fell relatively quickly, Batra felt up, and Wang Manyu played helplessly in the back, and couldn't find a way to deal with it, Batra used various spins and changes to make Wang Manyu fall into a slump, and he played very well behind the defense.
This loss is estimated to make the national table tennis team unexpected, the main force of the national table tennis lost to India for the third time this year, the first two times were Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi lost to them, at that time Wang Manyu also made meritorious contributions, including a victory over Batra, mainly because his performance was not ideal, and his strength was completely above the opponent.
Stop in the second round, lose the foreign war will be deducted 3000 Olympic selection
Pull points, a huge blow, I'm afraid I won't miss the Paris Olympics singles, this is the last selection of points, before the game in this station, the points are ahead of Chen Meng, if Chen Meng does not lose the foreign war, or advance to the semifinals, the points will surpass Wang Manyu.
Of course, the opponents behind Chen Meng are also relatively strong, and they need to play against the main Japanese team continuously, and the pressure is also relatively high, and they can advance to the semifinals if they play normally.
Wang Manyu's 4/4 area was lost, and the national table tennis women's singles also missed the top four in advance, and only Chen Meng was alone in the second half of the district.
If Wang Manyu fails to be selected for the Paris Olympics singles, it is still a pity, after three years of hard work, at the last moment to drop the chain, this year her state has picked up significantly, the competition is also ahead of Chen Meng, Wang Manyu must be very eager for the Olympic singles, Tokyo Olympics only participate in the team. The Saudi Grand Slam has only increased this year, and if this event is not added, in fact, Wang Manyu was able to confirm the Olympic singles last month, and then the national table tennis changed the rules and added the Saudi Grand Slam to the assessment.
