Review and challenge of the national table tennis record
The 2024 Saudi Grand Slam is a major test for Chinese national table tennis. Although at the beginning of the game, except for Fan Zhendong, many team members were unexpectedly out, but the overall performance of national table tennis was smooth sailing, showing the team's profound heritage and strength. Especially on the sixth day of the competition, the mixed doubles championship of Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin, and the women's doubles victory of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu marked the return of national table tennis to the right track and re-established its hegemony in the international table tennis arena.
Mixed Doubles and Women's Doubles brilliance
Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin's "Shatou Combination" performed well in the mixed doubles event, showing superb skills and tacit cooperation, and finally won the championship. At the same time, the success of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu in the women's doubles event has also added confidence to the Chinese team. These victories are the result of strategic deployment and teamwork, which effectively boosts the morale of the entire team.
Sun Yingsha's controversy and brilliance
Sun Yingsha defeated Qian Tianyi 4-0 in the women's singles 1/4 finals, which made a crushing start of 11-0, which is undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus of this Grand Slam. This extreme score also shows Sun Yingsha's top strength.
The long-standing ethos within the national table tennis is to avoid an 11:0 score in a civil war in order to maintain harmony and respect within the team. However, Sun Yingsha's move, although driven by her too much focus and competitive state on the field, also received some negative comments after the game. thinks that it is too violent and does not give the other side a face, which affects the harmony within the team. 4 games [11-0, 11-6, 11-3, 11-6].
In response to Qian Tianyi's crushing defeat, he had to admit 5 facts after the game:
1. In the first game, Sun Yingsha was too hot and blasted out 11-0, and Qian Tianyi had no power to fight back;
2, in the second game, Sun Yingsha hit 7-0 again, and Qian Tianyi was directly stunned;
3, Sun Yingsha is too strong, and she hit 8-0 in the third game, and Qian Tianyi is helpless;
4, Sun Yingsha crushed again in the fourth game, easily playing 11-6, and Qian Tianyi lost;
5, the difference in strength between the two is too great, and Qian Tianyi also tried his best.
The trade-off between physical strength and strategy
Sun Yingsha's physical strength was a great test yesterday, as she took a short break after winning the mixed doubles title before jumping into the fierce competition in the women's singles. Sun Yingsha chose to win quickly in the game and successfully clocked out with minimal physical exertion to ensure the state of the next game. The successful implementation of this idea reflects the thoughtfulness of her and her coaching team's consideration of the game, and coach Qiu Yike is indeed a good guide.
Balance between professionalism and ethics
Sun Yingsha's performance is worthy of being ranked No. 1 in the world, and it is a vivid interpretation of the challenges faced by professional table tennis players in high-pressure competitions. Her style of play has sparked some controversy, but it also proves that in the top competitive sport, victory often comes at an incomprehensible price.
Looking forward to the future, Sun Yingsha and the national table tennis will continue to show their good competitive style on the international stage. Looking forward to tonight's women's singles semi-final derby between Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi! Cheer for the national table tennis!
