On May 10th, Beijing time, the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam competition will enter the penultimate day of the journey, the gold medal of mixed doubles has been decided the day before, the national table tennis has also won a championship in this competition, today will determine the gold medal of men's doubles and women's doubles, and the two most important items in the singles competition, the final places of men's singles and women's singles will also be officially generated, let's take a look at the national table tennis in today's schedule.
Because the national table tennis has already reached the semifinals or finals in the remaining four events - men's doubles, women's doubles, men's singles, and women's singles. Therefore, today's national table tennis competition is still very much, including men's doubles and women's doubles each have a pair of players to enter the finals, women's doubles Chen Meng and Wang Wang Manyu will face the current world women's doubles No. 1 South Korea's Tian Zhixi and Shin Yubin combination, this game is still more suspenseful, because the opponent's tacit understanding is better than ours.
In men's doubles, Ma Long and Wang Chuqin re-partnered again, and also reached the final, it is worth mentioning that Ma Long will participate in the men's doubles in 2024 The number of events has increased significantly, and the results are also very good, and he has just won the championship of the Singapore Grand Slam competition before, when he was paired with Lin Gaoyuan to win the championship, this time he was paired with Wang Chuqin, I don't know if he can win the championship in two consecutive Grand Slams? Their opponents are the current world No. 2 and the main force of the Japanese Olympic men's team, Shinozuka Daito and Hayasuke Togami, and this match will also have great reference value and significance for the men's team competition at the Olympic Games.
In the semi-finals of the men's and women's singles, the men's team will stage a civil war. The two players in the upper half of the Chinese team, the current world No. 1 Wang Chuqin will face the teenager Lin Shidong, which means that the men's team will inevitably have another player to be eliminated, in the final, although there will definitely be at least one player from the men's team, but there is only one player from the men's team, because the other group of duels is contested by two foreign players - Francesca faces South Korea's Zhang Yuzhen,
The women's singles side is still relatively stable, and this time we still occupy three seats, and Chen Meng will face the challenge of Hina Hayata. It is worth mentioning that Chen Meng faced Japanese players in three consecutive rounds, she eliminated Miyu Hirano in the 16-8 match, defeated Miwa Zhang in the 8-4 match, and now met Hayada in the semi-finals. These three players are also the main players of the Japanese team in the Olympic team competition, as long as they can defeat Hina Hayata, Chen Meng's Olympic singles qualification and team qualification will be secure.
In the other semi-finals, Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha staged today's second civil war of national table tennis to compete for a ticket to another final. In other words, after today's match, two more players from the Chinese team will be eliminated in the singles field. The Chinese team still has a chance to win five championships. Since the establishment of the Grand Slam, the Chinese team has not let any of the champions fall by. I don't know if this Saudi Arabian Grand Slam can achieve the feat of winning all five championships again?
