At 8 p.m. on May 11, Beijing time, the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam women's singles final came to an end, and Chen Meng, who was originally not optimistic, lived up to expectations and defeated the world No. 1 Sun Yingsha 4-2 and won the women's singles championship strongly! This victory not only ended the myth of Sun Yingsha's monopoly on the world women's table tennis, but also announced that the Tokyo Olympic champion Chen Meng is really back!
In the journey of this Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Chen Meng was surrounded and suppressed by Japan's three main forces, Miu Hirano, Miu Zhangmoto and Hina Hayata, but Chen Meng withstood the pressure and staged a classic show of "anti-Japanese hat trick", and also established himself to surpass Wang Manyu in the Olympic women's singles selection points and won another place in the women's singles at the Paris Olympics.
Before the start of this final, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha's historical record is 5-10, although Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha 4-2 in the Tokyo Olympics final, but in the Paris Olympic cycle Chen Meng only defeated Sun Yingsha in last year's Macau competition, and the results have been at a disadvantage in recent years, but Chen Meng's state in this Saudi Arabia Grand Slam is getting better and better, and she will not show weakness when she meets Sun Yingsha, even if she lost 6-11 in the first game, she quickly adjusted her tactics and strengthened her near platform and backhand, which made Sun Yingsha very uncomfortable, Chen Meng quickly took a 3-1 game lead. Although Sun Yingsha immediately pulled back a game, Chen Meng won 11-8 in the 6th game, and the total score was fixed at 4-2!
After the game, Chen Meng choked up at one point in an interview and expressed her heartfelt thanks to the Chinese fans who came to support her. There is no doubt that Chen Meng's championship also announced the return of the majestic "big dream" king, Sun Yingsha is really hanging in the Paris Olympics, with Chen Meng, it is really difficult to say who will win the women's singles gold medal!
