On May 8, Beijing time, the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam women's singles match was underway, and Chinese player Chen Mengda swept Japan's first sister Miu Hirano 3-0, showing amazing combat effectiveness!
As soon as the game began, Chen Meng's momentum crushed Miyu Hirano, and Miyu Hirano always had some problems in her mentality in the face of Chen Meng, after all, she was often swept by Chen Meng in the early years and had been beaten out of the shadows.
At the beginning of the first game, Chen Meng was in very good shape, facing Miyu Hirano's full firepower, the first three boards made the opponent unable to parry, and won the game with a score of 11-2 in the first game.
At the beginning of the second game, Miyu Hirano had obviously been beaten and couldn't find the north, and in the face of Chen Meng's attack and counterattack, Chen Meng won the second game 11-2 again, and in the first two games, Miyu Hirano didn't even get the third point!
Coming to Chen Meng's tiebreaker, Miyu Hirano didn't want to lose so embarrassed, and began to fight back, Chen Meng played a high-quality attack again after a short trance, Miyu Hirano was beaten with a helpless wry smile, and finally ended the game 11-8, and took Miyu Hirano away with a big score of 3-0.
From the Macau World Cup to the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Miyu Hirano met Chen Meng twice, both of which ended in a fiasco, and this three-game game Chen Meng only allowed Miyu Hirano to score 12 points, and the whole game only played for ten minutes, which completely shattered Miu Hirano's self-confidence!
In this Grand Slam, the women's table tennis team sent a total of 6 players to participate, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu were divided into the lower half of the master, and the three Japanese Olympians Hina Hayata, Miwa Zhangmoto, and Miu Hirano were also divided in the lower half.
thought that Wang Manyu and Chen Meng would once again carry the banner of resistance against Japan this time, but who knew that Wang Manyu lost to India's Batra in the round of 16 and was eliminated in advance, not only burying his Olympic singles quota with his own hands, but also giving Chen Meng all the pressure!
After Chen Meng's victory over Miyu Hirano, the next round will be against Japan's rising star Miwa Zhangmoto, according to the previous records of the two, Chen Meng is basically 9:1 against Miwa Zhang, and the probability of winning is only one percent.
If there is no upset in the second half, then Chen Meng will most likely face the Japanese women's table tennis representative Hina Hayada in the semifinals, and play against three Japanese celebrities in one game, which is extremely rare in the history of national table tennis.
Now that Wang Manyu has lost the foreign war, 3000 Olympic points will be deducted according to the rules of national table tennis, and Chen Meng will naturally rise to second place.
When he won the Tokyo Olympics, Ma Lin was Chen Meng's head coach, and this time Ma Long was promoted to the coach of the women's team, and he also took good care of Chen Meng, Chen Meng can participate in the Olympic singles competition again, and even have the opportunity to defend the title, which is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for the 30-year-old Chen Meng.
In fact, after entering 2024, Chen Meng's state has indeed fluctuated, but judging from the performance in Macau and then Saudi Arabia, Chen Meng's on-the-spot performance and adaptability are indeed stronger than Wang Manyu, simply put, Chen Meng is smarter than Wang Manyu.
In the face of the ever-changing Olympic Games, players from every country will compete with all their might, and in fact, there will definitely be new ways of playing, so according to the current situation, Chen Meng may be more suitable than Wang Manyu to participate in the Olympic Games!
