The Saudi Arabian Grand Slam women's singles championship has been officially decided, in the final, Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha 4:2 and won her second Grand Slam championship, it is worth mentioning that the first match of the Grand Slam, the women's singles champion of the 2022 Singapore Grand Slam is Chen Meng.
Chen Meng's performance in this Saudi Grand Slam is very good, after she eliminated the three main players of the Japanese Olympic team, Miyu Hirano, Miwa Zhang and Hina Hayada to enter the final, Chen Meng also eliminated a number of good players at home and abroad all the way in.
Before this final, everyone will be relatively more optimistic about Sun Yingsha. Because from Sun Yingsha's victory over Chen Meng in the final of the Lanzhou Planet Tournament in July 2023 until now, Chen Meng has not been able to win against Sun Yingsha once, Sun Yingsha has a special psychological advantage in playing Chen Meng recently, almost every time she plays is a score of 4:1, 4:0, Chen Meng is very difficult to even win a game, before the previous Incheon Champions Cup semi-final game, when a reporter asked Chen Meng how he felt when facing Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng also seemed very unconfident at that time, and defeated Sun Yingsha in the final this time, It can be regarded as breaking through his own demons.
The last time Chen Meng was able to defeat Sun Yingsha in the final, it was also in the Grand Slam competition, which was the Singapore Grand Slam in 2022 that we mentioned earlier, and the two sides met in the final of the last Tokyo Olympics, and finally Chen Meng also defeated Sun Yingsha with the same score of 4:2 and won the Olympic championship for the first time. Judging from the current situation, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng have locked the two singles tickets for the Olympic Games, and hope that the two can meet again in the women's singles final of the Olympic Games in July this year.
For Sun Yingsha in this game, there are indeed some regrets in losing. Since entering 2024, Sun Yingsha has never lost in the final. Since losing 3:4 to Miu Hirano in the regular season final of Zagreb in Europe on July 2, 2023, Sun Yingsha has never lost in the final of any tournament in ten months. In the past ten months, Sun Yingsha will win the championship when she reaches the finals, reflecting her good psychological quality. This loss also proves that Sun Yingsha is not unbreakable.
This time, the reason why Chen Meng was able to break through the demons to defeat Sun Yingsha is a very important reason, that is, Chen Meng, who was good at defense before, dared to take the initiative to attack in this game, and the momentum of the fight was very sufficient, although the first game was too fierce and made a lot of mistakes, and lost this game 6:11, but her hand style played out, and the stalemate ball and defense are Chen Meng's advantages. In the end, he won the double championship of this competition with 4:2.
