On May 8, Beijing time, the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam continued to compete on the penultimate day of competition. The 12 top players of national table tennis ushered in 11 matches, including 3 men's singles, 4 women's singles, 2 men's doubles, 1 women's doubles, and 1 mixed doubles.
One of the most high-profile matches is the women's singles 1/8 finals between Chen Meng and Japan's Miu Hirano, if Chen Meng wins, he will continue to retain the opportunity to impact the second singles of the Olympic women's singles, if he loses, he will completely miss the women's singles No. 2 singles of the Paris Olympics, but there is still a chance to compete in the team competition, as well as a chance to get a P card.
Before this match, Wang Manyu ranked 2nd with 14,865 points and Chen Meng ranked 3rd with 13,310 points, 1,555 points less than Manyu. However, because of the Olympic selection rules of national table tennis, Wang Manyu will not only be unable to get the reward points of this tournament after Wang Manyu's Saudi Grand Slam Indian monster player Batra, but will also be deducted 3,000 points, so the points have been overtaken by Chen Meng. The details of the Olympic selection points of the main force of the national table tennis women's singles have been sorted out by Wushuang Sports, as shown in the figure below:
Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha 3-0 Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata
In the first mixed doubles match, Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha swept away Japan's Miwa Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada 3-0 to advance to the final, 12-10, 11-9, 12-10 in three games. From a big score of 3-0, it was easy to win, but in terms of every game, every game was a narrow victory.

In the women's doubles national table tennis civil war, Chen Meng/Wang Manyu narrowly defeated compatriots Wang Yidi/Chen Xingtong 3-2, with a score of 12-10, 9-11, 11-7, 6-11, 12-10 in 5 games. The duo will face the challenge of the multinational pair of Bayo/Kukulova in the final.

Wang Chu Zhong 3-1 Masaharu Yoshimura
Wang Chuqin was not in good shape in the first game and made consecutive mistakes, while Yoshimura Maharu quickly entered the state, and soon Wang Chuqin was won by Yoshimura Maharu, and the big score was 0-1 behind. In the next three games, under the off-court guidance of Xiao Zhan, Wang Chuqin began to focus on his left backhand, and at the same time mobilized his opponent to score many times and pulled back a game 11-8. In the third and fourth games, Wang Chuqin's strength as the world's No. 1 was fully reflected, while Yoshimura Maharu did not have too many ways to restrict Wang Chuqin, and finally Wang Chuqin went down two more cities, successfully eliminated his opponent, and advanced to the top 8 of men's singles.
Wang Yidi 3-1 Yang Xiaoxin
Wang Yidi, who just finished the doubles match this afternoon, followed the singles match in the evening, and his body was relatively tired. In this game, Qiu Yi can be used as an off-court coach.
8-10 in the first game, after holding on to multiple shots, he pumped the ball into the net by himself, but failed to save the game point, and lost a game 8-11. At the beginning of the second game, under the command of Qiu, Dadi slowly entered the state, became more and more courageous, won three games in a row, won 11-8, 11-9, 11-5, and finally won the game with a big score of 3-1 and successfully advanced to the top 8.
Wang Yidi's opponent in the 1/4 finals will be Japan's Misei Ito, and with a good coach, it's really different. Wang Yidi's next round of refueling, optimistic about you!
Chen Meng 3-0 Miu Hirano
In today's doubles match, partner Wang Manyu defeated teammates Chen Xingtong/Wang Yidi 3-2, and his body was relatively tired.
In the first game, Da Meng quickly entered the state, on the other hand, Miyu Hirano made continuous mistakes, and soon Chen Meng won the first game 11-2. The plot of the second game is exactly the same as the first game, and it was won 11-2 again, and Ma Lin doesn't need to say too much about it.
In the third game, Daimeng played a difficult game, and Miu Hirano also changed her hitting strategy, and the scores of the two rose alternately, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, and never opened the gap. But in the end, Chen Meng still won the opponent, successfully advanced to the top 8, and also retained the hope of winning the Olympic women's singles No. 2.
Chen Meng will face another player of the Japanese team in the next round, Miwa Zhangmoto, another difficult opponent, I hope Chen Meng will continue to work hard in the follow-up games, come on!
