The Saudi Grand Slam is underway, and the game has entered the decisive stage, compared to other members, Chinese women's table tennis player Chen Meng is under great pressure, Chen Meng will not only have to fight Wang Manyu for the women's doubles gold medal tonight, but also face Japan's first sister Hina Hayada in the women's singles semifinals!
This Saudi Arabia Grand Slam Chinese women's table tennis sent all the main forces to play, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu were divided into the lower half of the master Ruyun, but who knew that Wang Manyu was upset and eliminated against Indian player Batra, and Chen Meng could only guard the lower half alone.
On May 8, Chen Meng defeated Japanese Olympian Miu Hirano 3-0, and on May 9, in the quarterfinals, he defeated Japanese women's table tennis star Miwa Zhang 4-1 again, and on May 10, Chen Meng will be the semifinals with the Japanese women's table tennis sister Hina Hayata, and the winner will compete for the championship with the winner between Sun Yingsha / Wang Yidi.
In a competition, one person has 3 Japanese players in a row, and it is very rare to look at the history of Chinese table tennis, but for Chen Meng, this competition must not be lost, because once he loses to Hina Hayata, then Chen Meng will lose the singles qualification for the Olympic Games, on the contrary, if he defeats Hina Hayada to enter the finals, then Chen Meng will determine the singles quota for the Olympic Games.
So what is the winning rate of Chen Meng against Hina Soona this time?
In fact, the women's table tennis three musketeers Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Chen Meng have a very high winning rate against Hina Hayata, and only Chen Meng lost to Hina Hayada 2-3 in the team competition of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, and Chen Meng, the historical record of the two, is leading with 9 wins and 1 loss, and there is still a gap in the strength of the two.
But judging from Hina's performance in this Grand Slam, Chen Meng should not be taken lightly, Hina Hayada just defeated the Indian monster player Batra 4-1, showing super strength, after all, Hina Hayata, as the first sister of Japan, once she plays extraordinarily, there is still a chance to defeat Chen Meng.
Of course, Chen Meng is still in the absolute lead in hard power, and the most important thing for Chen Meng at present is the pressure problem, this time Chen Meng not only has to bear the heavy responsibility of national table tennis "anti-Japanese", but also related to his Olympic quota, and the three Japanese players have won two, just the last trembling.
Compared with Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng has more experience in the World Championships and stronger on-the-spot adaptability, I believe that Chen Meng will definitely be able to withstand the pressure and win this "life and death battle" and win the Olympic singles competition!
Next, let's focus on the coach's seat, the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam Chinese team has been upset one after another, and compared with the women's team, the men's team's results are simply unbearable, Liang Jingkun, Lin Gaoyuan, Ma Long, Fan Zhendong were eliminated one after another, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong will meet in the semifinals, that is to say, this Grand Slam men's singles is destined to lose a medal.
It is estimated that after returning home after the Grand Slam, the head coach of the men's team, Wang Hao, will make huge adjustments and strengthen training to prepare for the Paris Olympics.
And the women's team coach Ma Lin is relatively relaxed, Sun Yingsha still holds up the banner of the national table tennis women's team, Chen Meng is in stable condition, Wang Manyu is strong, and the third person Wang Yidi is also in very good condition, although Wang Manyu was eliminated in an upset this time, but it is harmless, the overall stability is much stronger than the men's team, and Ma Lin can also sit firmly in Diaoyutai!
Finally, I hope that Chen Meng can stabilize his mentality, defeat Hina Hayada in the semifinals, and lock the championship for the Chinese team in advance!
