On May 12, Beijing time, in the 2024 WTT Saudi Arabia Tournament, the Chinese table tennis team once again won the attention of global table tennis fans with its extraordinary strength and outstanding performance. In this event, the national table tennis not only won all five championships, but also achieved remarkable results in bonuses and points, becoming the biggest winner of this competition.
Wang Chuqin: The glory of the Triple Crown
Among the male players, Wang Chuqin is undoubtedly the brightest star. He not only won the men's singles event, but also won gold in the men's doubles and mixed doubles events with his partner, and won 540,000 yuan in prize money alone, becoming the biggest winner in this event. Wang Chuqin's comprehensive skills and stable mentality allow him to perform well in various events, showing the profound heritage of Chinese men's table tennis.
Chen Meng: The rise of the women's singles upstart
In terms of female players, Chen Meng's performance is also eye-catching. She won both the Women's Singles and Women's Doubles events, winning $70,750 in prize money, making her the biggest winner among women. What's more worth mentioning is that Chen Meng also scored 2,000 singles world points, successfully surpassing teammate Wang Manyu and climbing to the second place in the world rankings. In addition, she also won 3,000 points of national table tennis Olympic selection bonus points, almost locked in the qualification to participate in the singles of the Paris Olympics, and can be described as the biggest winner of this competition.
Wang Manyu: Regrettable defeat
However, for Wang Manyu, this Saudi Arabian race was a regrettable trip. She was originally ahead of Chen Meng in Olympic points, but because of an unexpected loss, her points plummeted and she almost lost the opportunity to participate in the singles of the Paris Olympics. Wang's defeat was undoubtedly a blow to the young player's career, but it also reminded all athletes of the brutal and unpredictable nature of competitive sports.
The pinnacle duel between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha
In the women's singles final, the duel between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha became the focus of the battle. The strength of the two players was between the two players, but in the end, Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha 2:4 and won the Grand Slam championship. The CCTV commentator conducted an in-depth analysis of the game, pointing out that Sun Yingsha's impatience and mistakes in the game were the main reasons for her loss. Chen Meng, on the other hand, won the game with his excellent skills and stable mentality, and also won the respect and blessings of the fans.
The glory and challenges of national table tennis
In this Saudi Arabia competition, the performance of the national table tennis players once again proved the strong strength of Chinese table tennis. Their victory is not only a personal honor, but also the pride of Chinese table tennis. However, competitive sports are always challenging, and Wang's defeat is a reminder that every fighter needs to work hard to maintain an edge in the fierce competition.
