Due to Wang Manyu's upset in the second round of the women's singles of the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, the unexpected loss to the Indian star Batra with a score of 1:3 is regrettable to stop in the second round of the women's singles, which also means that the Chinese women's table tennis can not win the women's singles semifinals, but Chen Meng is also ushering in a turnaround and is expected to get the Olympic women's singles quota, as long as Chen Meng can reach the women's singles final of this Grand Slam, she can lock the Olympic women's singles quota, but the process of completing this goal is not easy.
Chen Meng has to defeat three opponents to reach the women's singles final, that is, Miyu Hirano, Miwa Zhangmoto, and Hina Hayada of Japanese women's table tennis, and Chen Meng has defeated Miyu Hirano and Miwa Zhang Ben in the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals respectively, which shows that Chen Meng is only one step away from getting the Olympic women's singles quota, but Chen Meng has no obvious advantage in the Japanese women's table tennis only Hina Hayata.
The last time the two met was in the final of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan in February this year, when Chen Meng was in the lead with a score of 1:0, Hina Hayada was not far behind and unexpectedly won three games in a row, and finally Hina Hayada reversed Chen Meng with a score of 3:1, including other encounters in this Olympic cycle, every time Chen Meng and Hina Hayada scores are very close to entering the tiebreaker It is also common.
It is also because Hina Hayada is at the top level in terms of strength, speed, and rotation, unlike other Japanese female table tennis players who have obvious technical loopholes, so the semifinals of Chen Meng and Hina Hayada in the Saudi Grand Slam are basically impossible to have a one-sided situation, and Chen Meng really has no certainty of winning for Hina Hayata.
Speaking of the national table tennis against Hina Hayada has the biggest advantage in the fight is still Wang Manyu, last year's Chengdu World Cup mixed team match, Frankfurt Championship, this year's Macau World Cup, three encounters against Hina Hayada has not won more than one game from Wang Manyu, compared to Sun Yingsha, who maintained 14 consecutive victories against Hina Hayata, Wang Manyu has two major advantages in both fighting record and playing style to restrain Hina Hayata.
Chen Meng is about to face the most critical game before the Paris Olympics, and he also asked Wang Manyu for advice on how to defeat Hina Hayada with more certainty, Wang Manyu is a little dilemma about Chen Meng's request, although he accidentally stopped the second round of this Grand Slam, but Chen Meng must reach the final to get the Olympic women's singles quota, it can be said that there is still a competitive relationship between Chen Meng and Chen Meng.
But at the same time, he and Chen Meng are also teammates who get along day and night, Chen Meng can successfully defeat Hina Hayada and also allow the national table tennis to win the women's singles championship and runner-up of the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and Wang Manyu After a careful choice, whether to make a relatively large personal sacrifice, or to point out the way that Chen Meng can effectively defeat Hina Hayata.
Wang Manyu believes that Chen Meng and Hayada Hina in the semifinals should change the previous skills and tactics, and Hayada Hina as much as possible from the middle and far platform to the near stage of entanglement, so that both sides do not need to run too much to play each other, now Hayada Hina is more dominant in the ball, Chen Meng can also avoid physical deficiencies, such guidance Chen Meng should be a lot more likely to win for Hayada Hina, but Wang Manyu is also more likely to be unable to achieve the most important goal of his personal career.
