The women's singles final of the 2024 Table Tennis Saudi Arabia Grand Slam officially started tonight, in the just-concluded women's singles final, the world's No. 1 Sun Yingsha lost to her senior sister Chen Meng 2-4 in 6 games, causing a big upset, which is also Chen Meng's first singles championship in the past two years. Despite this, it was still somewhat surprising to beat Sun Yingsha, who was in full swing, which also added some expectations to the upcoming Olympics and brought uncertainty to Sun Yingsha's achievement of the Grand Slam.
In fact, Sun Yingsha was the runner-up, there were early signs, of course, this is definitely not a handicap, but Chen Meng showed a very strong desire to win in the World Cup, and more importantly, after she fought against Miyu Hirano, she learned from her how to beat the new generation of players, but because the World Cup has just begun to use this kind of technique and tactics, it is more or less not compact. So in this Grand Slam competition, Chen Meng can defeat Sun Yingsha to win the championship.
And Sun Yingsha made a lot of unnecessary mistakes, and she may not have shouted out with both sides, which could not stimulate her own state. But it's just a Grand Slam, not an Olympics.
However, if Sun Yingsha does not make in-depth preparations, the Paris Olympics may repeat the mistake of losing to Chen Meng again and be the runner-up, and Chen Meng may hold two Olympic singles championships and win two more World Table Tennis Championships, and he can replicate Ma Long's great achievements and become a double-lap Grand Slam. Although Chen Meng is 30 years old this year, it is not impossible to persist for another two years. The score of the two of them in this match is: Chen Meng 4-2 Sun Yingsha [6-11, 11-5, 11-8, 11-9, 6-11, 11-8]
Chen Meng won the championship, Wang Manyu will most likely lose to Chen Meng even if he does not lose the foreign war, Chen Meng's state is really full this time, just like Ma Long in the World Cup. Therefore, Wang Manyu should not be discouraged if he fails to qualify for the Olympic Games in singles, there will be a chance in four years.
