The end of the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam marked the Chinese table tennis team once again dominating the field, and the men's and women's singles championships fell into their hands without exception. The Women's Singles final was particularly eye-catching, as Chen Meng performed well in the duel, defeating Sun Yingsha, known as the "Little Devil", with a score of 4-2 to successfully defend her title.
Although many people were skeptical about Chen Meng's victory before the match, after all, she had beaten three of Japan's top players in a row, which seemed to be the ultimate performance. Sun Yingsha has been unstoppable since the Tokyo Olympics, and Chen Meng has barely tasted victory in her last few matchups.
But in this game, Chen Meng's play was perfect, her strategy on the court was changeable, and her defense was indestructible, making Sun Yingsha's attack seem inadequate, and finally Chen Meng won unexpectedly.
After the match, Chen Meng said in an interview: "Today is indeed a bit lucky, but the victory is the result of hard work. There are wins and losses in table tennis games, and we should treat the results of the game correctly. These words not only show her confidence and calmness, but also a call to the audience, especially the radical fans.
At the Saudi competition, the local interpreter also looked a little confused after Chen Meng's response to the questioning remarks, not knowing how to fully express her. In addition, after the game, some domestic fans also broke out into disputes, and even foreigners intervened to persuade them. This not only reflects some problems in the fan circle culture, but also has a negative impact on the image of the Chinese table tennis team.
Such incidents show that even abroad, such cultural problems cannot be completely avoided, and the management of national table tennis, including Liu Guoliang, may need to start thinking about setting stricter rules for watching the tournament. By ensuring that the game is fair and respectful, we can enjoy more pure and intense competitive scenes.
