The 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam came to an end, and Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha 4-2 in the women's singles final to win the championship. On the whole, Sun Yingsha seems to have reservations in this game, preparing for the Olympic champion and striving to win the Olympic gold medal to achieve the Grand Slam.

Regarding the trend of this women's singles final, there is no need to go into too much detail overall. In the sixth game, Sun Yingsha's performance was a little unbelievable, Sun Yingsha fell behind 1-5 at the beginning, and the game ended directly after losing this game. Normally, such a passive situation requires the use of a timeout to think about how to deal with it. But Sun Yingsha never called a timeout, and finally regretted losing the sixth game.

In fact, at the beginning of the 1-4 game, commentator Hou Yingchao directly said that he had paused, and he thought that Sun Yingsha would choose to pause at this moment. Immediately after Sun Yingsha lost another point, the commentator continued to say that a timeout should be called, even when it was 1-3. Sun Yingsha never called a timeout, and just fought to the end. Therefore, after the game, some non-table tennis fans also talked about this issue.

Regarding Sun Yingsha's performance in this game, it seems that she has reservations, and she didn't show the momentum of fighting Chen Meng with all her might, so she played according to the normal number of roads, and it was of course better to win the championship, and there was no need to worry too much if she couldn't take it. In fact, looking back at the previous moment when she competed with Wang Manyu in the Macau World Cup final, Sun Yingsha was also 1-3 behind and passive, and the key pause was very effective, and then reversed Wang Manyu in three games in a row and won the World Cup women's singles championship for the first time.

Although the points of the Macau World Cup are only 1,500 points, and the points of the Saudi Grand Slam are 2,000 points, the meaning of the World Cup title is very different from that of the Grand Slam title. Grand Slam tournaments are played every year and are now played multiple times a year; And there is uncertainty about the holding of the World Cup, and it is not known when it will be missed.

For Sun Yingsha, this year's goal must be to hit the Grand Slam, win the World Table Tennis Championships in 2023, and go all out to win the World Cup in 2024, and the Olympic women's singles championship is just short of the Grand Slam. Previously, Sun Yingsha's potential opponent in the Olympics was Wang Manyu, but Wang Manyu dropped the chain at a critical moment, and Chen Meng seized the opportunity to basically get the Olympic singles quota. As a result, Sun Yingsha's potential opponent at the Olympics has become Chen Meng, and this match is almost the last battle between the two sides before the Olympics.

At this moment, fighting with Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha seems to have really left a hand, such as changing the way to serve. After all, Chen Meng is very familiar with Sun Yingsha, if all the skills and tactics accumulated in the past two years are exposed, and then they meet in the finals of the Olympic Games, then Sun Yingsha's chances of winning will be weakened. In addition, the two sides will meet in the final of the Tokyo Olympics, and the winner at that time is Chen Meng, so Chen Meng has a psychological advantage in this case.

On the whole, Sun Yingsha did not go all out in this final, playing according to the normalized rhythm, and was not eager to win the championship. On the other hand, Chen Meng's form is hot, and he has not won a top-level championship for a long time, and he is determined to win this Grand Slam championship. Of course, it doesn't mean that Sun Yingsha will definitely be able to defeat Chen Meng if she uses all her killer skills. It's just that Sun Yingsha needs to keep a hand at this moment, and if she meets in the women's singles final of the Paris Olympics, she can increase her chances of winning against Chen Meng.
