At ten o'clock in the evening on May 10, Beijing time, in the semifinals of the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam women's singles, Chen Meng played against Hina Hayata.
This semi-final, in the spotlight, is in the spotlight because it is the last competition of the Paris Olympic trials!
The national table tennis will announce the Olympic selection list on May 14!
Before the start of the Saudi Grand Slam, although Wang Manyu lost to Sun Yingsha in the Incheon Championship and the Macau World Cup, the runner-up points in the two games were enough for Wang Manyu to surpass Chen Meng by 1,500 points.
However, two days ago, in the second round of the women's singles of the Saudi Grand Slam, Wang Manyu lost 1-3 to the Indian player Manika Batra, ranked 38th in the world! It's a pity to stop in the top 32!
Because I lost to the outsourcing, I need to deduct 3,000 points!
And Chen Meng played steadily in this competition, defeating two Japanese Olympians in a row, Miu Hirano and Miwa Zhangmoto!
This time Chen Meng vs. Hina Hayata, as long as Chen Meng wins, the position of the second person in the Olympic women's singles is Chen Meng's!
Chen Meng and Hina Hayada have played each other eight times, Chen Meng is 7-1, and the last time they met was at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan in February 24, Chen Meng lost to Hina Hayada 1-3!
Chen Meng was in very good shape in this competition, winning four games in a row without giving Hayada any respite!
Chen Meng 4-0 Hina Hayata, 11-9, 11-5, 12-10, 11-7.
Congratulations to Chen Meng for advancing to the finals!
The winner of the next round against Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi!
Congratulations to Chen Meng for surpassing Wang Manyu in the Olympic selection points and returning to second place!
According to the selection rules, she will get the second women's singles quota place at the Paris Olympics!
The specific list will be announced on May 14, so stay tuned!
The fat brother still thinks that it is a pity for Manyu, her state is unstable, and it is precisely because of her instability, once she won a championship and once she was in the top 32, that her points could not be separated from Chen Meng in terms of world ranking or selection points! Lost this opportunity!
However, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng's women's doubles results are very good, if Chen Meng gets the women's singles place, then Wang Manyu will get another women's team place! If you win, you can also be called an Olympic champion!
