Saudi Arabia Grand Slam today's women's singles 32 into 16 game, Chen Xingtong encountered the provincial team star Jian Tongshan, the two sides fought three games, although Chen Xingtong swept the promotion with a score of 3:0 without losing a game, but every game was very difficult, the score difference was within 3 points, it can be seen that this game was thrilling, Chen Xingtong finally advanced to the top 16 with excellent strength.
In the second round of the competition, both the Chinese men's and women's teams have suffered a major Waterloo, so far four main players have been eliminated, so now Saudi Arabia Grand Slam competition, each round does not seem to be so easy for Chinese players. This 3-0 victory, for Chen Xingtong, may not only be happy that she has successfully reached the round of 16, but also that she still has a chance to impact the squad for the Paris Olympics.
Today, the Chinese table tennis team announced the list of table tennis competitions participating in the Paris Olympics. In terms of the women's team, the only one who can lock in the Olympic Games is Sun Yingsha alone, she is determined to participate in the women's singles, mixed doubles and women's team competitions, and the qualifications for the other two team competitions and one singles competition have not yet been determined, according to the current selection plan, another singles ticket is likely to fall on Chen Meng's head, because Wang Manyu lost 3000 points in the foreign war before, such a point deduction mechanism allows Chen Meng to grasp the absolute initiative, but there is still the qualification for the team competition, In fact, there is still a lot of suspense at present.
This ticket to the team competition is not completely determined by the points, if it is completely determined by the points, even if Wang Manyu deducts 3000 points, Chen Xingtong will definitely not be able to surpass Wang Manyu, rushing to the third place, the last ticket for the team competition is recommended by the coaching staff after weighing all aspects. In other words, theoretically, Chen Xingtong still has a chance to enter the selection list. For Chen Xingtong, she has her own advantages and disadvantages.
Chen Xingtong has not been able to rush to the top four, a very important reason is that her civil war results are relatively poor, but if she only participates in the team competition, she does not need to fight the civil war, so this disadvantage is equivalent to being directly shielded. After entering 2024, with Wang Manyu's loss yesterday, the only one who has not lost a foreign war in the entire 2024, that is to say, the closest period before the Paris Olympics, is Chen Xingtong. If Chen Xingtong can continue to maintain a 100% win rate in this Grand Slam, that is to say, in all the points of this kind of competition before the Paris Olympics, Chen Xingtong's foreign war is not lost, and he has become the only national table tennis, which even Sun Yingsha has not done in 2024, which is an absolute advantage for her.
What are Chen Xingtong's disadvantages? The first is that she doesn't rank high enough in points, and she still ranks fifth. Second, Chen Xingtong has a fatal shortcoming in technology, that is, she is very difficult to play chippers and is not good at playing this type of player. The third is that Chen Xingtong has never been considered to enter the qualification for the team competition, and the team competition has a women's doubles project, Chen Xingtong is actually not with Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, these players who have basically qualified for the team competition to partner in women's doubles to participate in large-scale competitions, which is a very big disadvantage for her, but I think as long as the list is not announced for a day, Chen Xingtong has the hope of being selected, and she still needs to continue to work hard in this Grand Slam competition for this small hope.
