Later, they will continue to compete for the Paris Olympics for the national table tennis, looking forward to them winning the championship, there are actually many opponents, the strongest is Japan's Tomokazu Zhangmoto / Hina Hayata, even if it is 3-0, but every game is very close.
The men's doubles national table tennis team Ma Long/Wang Chuqin, finally succeeded in winning the championship, and it is also a relatively advantageous advantage to advance to the final championship, their combination strength is excellent, cooperation, tacit understanding, etc., the wild card Liang Jingkun / Lin Gaoyuan was upset early, it is a pity.
Women's doubles Chen Meng/Wang Manyu's championship is also relatively strong, the final swept the world's No. 1 Shen Yubin/Tian Zhixi, their cooperation is getting better and better, the advantage against the foreign association is obvious, and Wang Yidi/Chen Xingtong's civil war, the fight is very fierce, if it is not drawn in the same half of the district, according to the strength, it is completely able to meet the finals.
Chen Meng was able to snatch the championship from Sun Yingsha, it was not easy, the confrontation with Sun Yingsha in the past two years was at a disadvantage, and the three times this year ended in failure, and the World Cup not long ago was also lost, but that game was just a pity, and the game was very close, indicating that Chen Meng's competitive state is gradually rising to the peak.
The performance of this tournament is no less than the Tokyo Olympic cycle, and even some technical aspects have been improved, such as serving and receiving, playing more calmly, more stable, more quality, and more successful tactics in the first three boards.
Chen Meng after the game: I was very excited, very happy, and I was surprised that I didn't expect it. Saudi Arabia's Grand Slam is more difficult, and I tried my best to pass it every day, but I didn't expect to win in the final.
I'm hoping to be lucky enough to win a title, since I won the Singapore Grand Slam two years ago, I haven't won it in two years, so it's very rare to take this opportunity.
There were some ups and downs in the game, and there were indeed some lucky balls at the beginning of the 7-5 in the sixth game, probably because the efforts on the court were favored by God.
Summing up the Saudi double: surprises, surprises. Winning the doubles championship is a must, and it makes sense. Singles be surprised.
After Wang Chuqin won Francesca in the third final, he first celebrated, and then compared "three", representing his triple crown in this tournament.
Compared with the strong championship of mixed doubles and men's doubles, Wang Chuqin is obviously much more difficult on the road to the singles championship, especially in the semifinals, by the strong impact of the teenager Lin Shidong, the front of the final was almost one-sided, and then Francesca tenaciously pulled back two games, and after stabilizing the position, Wang Chuqin spoke with strength, and won all three championships, which also proved that Wang Chuqin's comprehensive strength was strong, and Wang Chuqin won the most bonuses, The singles champion is 65,000 US dollars, plus the two doubles championships for a total of 8,500 US dollars, adding up to 73,500 US dollars, about 530,000 yuan.
