Chen Meng won the championship
Sun Yingsha passed all the way easily, and was only won by Wang Yidi in the semifinals from the top 64 to the semifinals, plus the pre-game battle against Chen Meng with a 10-5 record, everyone was mainly optimistic that Sun Yingsha could win the first Saudi Grand Slam championship.
Sun showed her strength in Saturday's final, but it wasn't enough to take home the title.
When Sun Yingsha fell behind 2:4 in the first game, she won 6 points in a row to regain the lead and successfully closed the first set, but Chen Meng was fearless and won 3 sets in a row to take a 3:1 lead and throw the pressure back to her opponent.

Chen Meng locked in a ticket to the women's singles at the Paris Olympics
After winning the championship, Chen Meng said that he still felt unbelievable, and he had met strong opponents in every fight, although he often advanced to the final every time, but the last time he won the championship was the WTT Singapore Grand Slam in 2022, which is a very rare opportunity. After Chen Meng won 2,000 points for the championship, the world ranking will be determined to return to second place in the world, which is enough for her to lock up a ticket to the women's singles at the Paris Olympics.
