In recent years, the two have played each other 14 times in international competitions, and Sun Yingsha has won 10 of them, with a winning rate of 71.43%!
WTT real-time data shows that Sun Yingsha's support rate for winning the championship is 67%, while Chen Meng has 33% support for winning the championship.
In recent years, the two have repeatedly faced off in international competitions.
At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha 4-2 in the final to win the most important singles championship of her career and become the Olympic singles gold medalist. At that time, Chen Meng hoped to create his own record, but in November of the same year, he lost to Wang Manyu at the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston and missed the Grand Slam that year.
After losing to Chen Mengwang Manyu at the Tokyo Olympics and the Houston World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha made technical changes, practiced her backhand, and finally found her own Bole in the coaching adjustment - Qiu Yike, and then Sun Yingsha won the championship many times in major events. From the beginning of 2022 to the present, Chen Meng has rarely been able to defeat Sun Yingsha, and Sun Yingsha's world ranking has also jumped to No. 1 in the world.
Personally, I am more familiar with Chen Meng, but I think tonight's final is still dominated by Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng can win 6 games is already very successful, if he wins the championship, it will be a surprise. As Chen Meng himself said, no matter what, this Grand Slam has held 5 foreign battles, which is actually the biggest success.
For Chen Meng, if he wants to win the championship, he must show top energy in the first two games, win quickly, and drag out the rhythm to his own detriment.
