In the women's singles, Chen Meng defeated the little devil Sun Yingsha 4-2 to win the championship of this station, ending the championship drought of her career of 783 days, and also contributing to her singles qualification for the Paris Olympics!
But the tiebreaker between the two sides caused heated discussions on the whole network, and some people said that Chen Meng "wiped the numbness," and the championship was wiped by rubbing, what happened? Let's take a look.
Event recap
In the sixth game, Chen Meng had already taken a 3-1 lead. At the beginning of this game, she still continued her hot hand, directly leading Sun Yingsha 6-2, and then the score was chased by Sun Yingsha to 6-4. Unexpectedly, Chen Meng continued to impact with sufficient quality, and hit three dribbles in a row, successfully expanding the score advantage to 9-4. Although Sun Yingsha also recovered 4 points, the score gap was too big, and finally Chen Meng ended the game 11-8, and defeated Sun Yingsha 4-2 to win the final victory.
After the match, when the host interviewed Chen Meng, he asked: "This is the second time you have won the women's singles championship in a Grand Slam event, what is the secret of your victory?" Suddenly, an audience member in the audience was muttering directly, saying that she had too many side balls. In this regard, the new champion Chen Meng responded directly on the spot!
"A lot of people today said that the secret to my victory was to rub the edges, and indeed, I was very lucky today," she said. But I haven't won a singles title in two years, and I'm really looking forward to it and I'm very hungry for it. Of course, only one of our team-mates will win the game and the competition in the end, but I also hope that the fans will look at it right, because it is normal to win and lose in competitive sports. ”
You can recall Sun Yingsha's response to the edge ball in the deciding game at the Macau World Cup, she said: "The edge ball is also part of the game. ”
Professionals have also explained that there is no way to deliberately create a side ball, if there is, it must be that the quality of the return ball is too high to play unintentionally, and it is indeed a lucky score, and real competitive athletes can not be affected in the face of this situation, but should be treated with a normal heart.
So I want to say to the fans who said "wiped the numbness", no matter what, this game is over, winning or losing is a foregone conclusion, I can understand that everyone will regret and be sad that the supported player Sun Yingsha did not get the expected results, but this cannot be a reason to attack others, I believe that Sun Yingsha does not want to see this kind of thing happen.
In the end, I think it doesn't matter if Sun Yingsha loses this game, she has a long-term goal, and a proper loss may be more beneficial to her long-term goal, are you right?
