Today's finals, as soon as the first game came up, both sides chose to test their opponents in advance, starting from 4-4, in the middle of the game, Chen Meng made several mistakes in a row, this game as a whole, the two sides are slowly looking for feelings, slowly understanding the opponent's main tactics today, slowly activating their best ball sense, and slowly coming to a master's peak battle!
When Sasha led 10-6, the two sides competed in 13 boards and multiple rounds, Sasha did not retreat from the stage and stabilized the rhythm, Chen Meng was the main attacker, debugging himself. Sasha scored points, 11-6. The big score is 1-0 ahead.
In the second game, Chen Meng increased the split length, took the initiative to increase the quality, and took the initiative to change, and Sasha was in the backhand position, adding a straight line, and taking the initiative to adapt. In this game, Chen Meng played very smoothly, his service wheel remained super high and stable, and he grabbed Sasha's middle in the multi-shot hold. Sun Yingsha was suppressed in this game as a whole, look at the following ball, Chen Meng took the initiative to get started, the forehand and backhand changed continuously, and also caught Sun Yingsha's negligence and got a point! The big score is 1-1!
In the third game, the stalemate was more intense, the small score was 2-2, 3-3, Chen Meng gave a straight line with a backhand, very resolute, and the score was very beautiful! And right away, Salsa also scores with color, spin and mass, and fast!
The big dream of this game is dominated by me, not taken away by Sasha, the first half of the game quickly led the lead, Sun Yingsha's method of chasing the score is to accelerate immediately, to speed up quickly, to rotate to press the straight line. The duel between the master and the master is to see the move, that is, you come and go! When Da Meng got the game point 10-8 in this game, in the face of Sun Yingsha's fierce fight, his defense was leaky: look at the excitement of this multi-shot hold!
However, immediately, at the beginning of the fourth game, it was almost the same way, the same batting tactics, and Sasha also shot more and returned one!
On the whole, today's Sun Yingsha is not very excited in these games! On the one hand, Chen Meng is fully prepared and has studied Sasha's ball path thoroughly - even if they are teammates who are together every day, there are many new changes on the spot, and they need to watch back the previous game videos and learn again. On the other hand, in the continuous competition, Sun Yingsha is also very tired. Previously, in the Macau World Cup finals, Sun Yingsha fought Wang Manyu, and after winning, she was so tired that she fell to the ground, but this time, it was the final again, and she fought to the end, and indeed Sasha was a little tired!
When Chen Meng was leading 7-5, he called a timeout, calmed down, and let himself slow down again! After the pause, the two men began to gradually enter a fierce battle: 7-7, 8-8, 9-9! The bite of every point, the distribution of skills and tactics and physical strength, are used to the extreme, and the calculation and ball path design are used to the extreme! Chen Meng's last few points were more stable, 11-9, and the big score was 3-1 ahead.
Game 5: Sun Yingsha began to rekindle the small universe, tired to tired, tired to tired, but as long as you find out your good state and stimulate it, you will immediately see a different Sasha. In this game, Sasha began to lead by a large score, and Chen Meng fell into passivity. Let's appreciate this ball again, how fast Sun Yingsha is after speeding up. Because it is true that the overall situation is backward, it is very obvious that Salsa accelerates, spins, and mass. In this game, Sasha pulled back a city.
Game 6: Sasha is indeed a little tired! She is going to the top strongly: Wang Chuqin wants to play men's singles, men's doubles, and mixed doubles. Sasha's side, mixed doubles, women's singles. Both post-00s are very tired. Yesterday, Wang Chuqin's physical strength was at the limit before defeating Lin Shidong 4-3. Today, Sasha is facing a big dream, a lot of opportunities, and she is a little powerless, but she still carries it! Carry on shoulders! Carry on shoulders!
Chen Meng was in the middle and late stages of this game, with obvious offense and several luck points. The audience did their best to cheer Sasha on, but Sasha was really tired! 11-8, Chen Meng won, Sasha's last few points, even a little tragic, she will fight for every point! And Chen Meng, a good sister, and Sasha learn from each other and make progress with each other. Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha with a score of 4-2 and won the Saudi Arabian Grand Slam championship! Congratulations to Chen Meng, and congratulations to Sasha!
