In the recently concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Slam women's singles match, Wang Manyu took on India's Batra. In the case of a big lead in the first game, Wang Manyu was shocked by the opponent in the back, and finally lost three games in a row and lost the game.
India's Batra was in tears of joy after the loss, she had no idea she would be able to beat the world's No. 2 player. In contrast, Wang Manyu was very annoyed, and her poor form affected the performance of this game. And with this elimination, for Wang Manyu, she received bad news from the Table Tennis Association after the game, which was very unfavorable for her next trip to the Paris Olympics.
First of all, we all know that before the start of the Macau World Cup, the Table Tennis Association had officially announced the selection rules of the women's team for the Paris Olympics, if the next Macau World Cup and the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam two tournaments lose the foreign war, these main players of the national table tennis women's singles will be deducted 3000 Olympic points, which is a very serious punishment. In the last World Cup, Wang Manyu had a good result of the runner-up, and her Olympic points also surpassed Chen Meng, and she had a chance to get an Olympic singles ticket.
Unexpectedly, after coming to Saudi Arabia this time, Wang Manyu was suspected of being unaccustomed to the soil and playing very badly, and the result was a miserable defeat in the 2nd round. This also means that Wang Manyu's Olympic points will be deducted by 3,000 points in the future, further widening the gap with Chen Meng. In this case, according to the rules announced by the National Table Tennis Association, as long as Chen Meng can not lose foreign wars and achieve good results in this Saudi Arabian championship competition, she can completely replace Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha in the singles competition of this year's Paris Olympics.
In this way, there is no doubt that Wang Manyu has left a very big regret, which is definitely not good news. You must know that since 2021, Wang Manyu has actually been working hard for this singles dream. Although Wang Manyu replaced Liu Shiwen in the team competition in the 2021 Olympic Games and finally won an Olympic gold medal, for top players like Wang Manyu, their ultimate dream must be to win the most important Olympic singles gold medal, which can leave a strong mark in their careers.
So in the past three years, in fact, Wang Manyu has been taking one step at a time, and has been working hard to get closer to this ultimate goal. Therefore, after losing to Sun Yingsha in the previous World Cup, Wang Manyu was actually very regretful, but at least he kept this Olympic ticket. Who would have thought that when the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam was about to announce the Olympic list, Wang Manyu suddenly had an upset, and the tickets he got were almost handed away. For Wang Manyu, it must have been very sad and sad after the game.
Of course, from the current point of view, since the game has ended Ω it is useless to be annoyed too much, and the next thing can only be seen what kind of performance Chen Meng will achieve. On the other hand, I also hope that the other main women's singles players in our national table tennis must use Wang Manyu as a negative teaching material, learn lessons Ω do not despise any opponent, especially for those players in Europe or India who play strangely, we must pay attention to the preparation work, so as to avoid a rollover like this competition.
