On the evening of May 11, Beijing time, in the women's singles final of the 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Chinese player Chen Meng defeated teammate Sun Yingsha 4-2 and won the women's singles championship, with a score of 6-11, 11-5, 11-8, 11-9, 6-11, 11-8 in six games. This is Chen Meng's second singles championship after two years. In this Grand Slam event, Chen Meng performed bravely, and in the knockout stage, three Japanese table tennis masters advanced to the finals, defeated Sun Yingsha, the little sister ranked first in the world, and successfully reached the top, and it is very likely to replace Wang Manyu, and after Sun Yingsha, he will qualify for the singles of the Paris Olympics.
Regarding this match, before the game, many people predicted that Sun Yingsha would win and win the championship, and the result of the match also caused a lot of speculation. Some people say that Chen Meng's performance is even better and he deserves this championship, Sun Yingsha plays carelessly and loses without temper; Some people also say that Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng will meet in the finals, the championship has already belonged to China, Sun Yingsha does not need to go all out, it doesn't matter if she wins or loses; Some people even say that Sun Yingsha doesn't want to win Chen Meng at all, because Sun Yingsha is obsessed with the "sidekick incident" not long ago, and has qualified for the Olympic singles in advance, and losing to Chen Meng has more reason to exclude Wang Manyu from the Olympic women's singles lineup. "Strength theory", "tacit understanding", and "revenge theory" each have their own reasons, and for a while, there are different opinions, and the city is full of wind and rain.
According to the editor, the above speculations are not unreasonable. But the results are undoubtedly the best. Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are indeed the most powerful and best-in-state women's singles players in national table tennis at present, and it is also expected that the two will participate in the Olympic women's singles together. Wang Manyu lost the foreign war, was deducted points, and dropped the chain at a critical moment, no wonder anyone, competitive sports have always favored the strong, and it can only be said that she is not angry.
However, the "edge ball incident" is really weird, Wang Manyu's ambiguous attitude and failure to win the game may really affect her mentality and state, after all, compared to Sun Yingsha, who is full of hip-hop, Wang Manyu is a child with a heavier mind, which may also change her fate in the dark. In contrast, Chen Meng's speech after the game was very good, generous and decent.
The dust has settled on the Saudi Grand Slam tournament, and the Olympic women's singles contenders are almost out of suspense. There is no conclusive evidence about the speculation and speculation about the national table tennis women's team, and there is also a lack of reason for existence, so it cannot be savored. Let him go, it is only right to prepare for the Olympics seriously!
