In the recently concluded Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, China's Chen Meng's performance was eye-catching, and she finally defeated her opponent with amazing strength in a difficult draw in the same half of the Japanese team's three main Olympic teams, which was a profound confirmation of her competitive form.
In the final, Chen Meng played against her teammate and new table tennis World Cup women's singles champion Sun Yingsha. Although Sun Yingsha defeated Chen Meng in the semifinals, this time, Chen Meng won the championship with a score of 4:2 after seizing the opportunity.
As the core figure of the Chinese women's team, Sun Yingsha enjoys high popularity and the support of a large number of fans. In contrast, Chen Meng's supporters seem to be few, which was vividly reflected in the applause at the scene when she won the championship. Chen Meng himself also seemed to have mixed emotions because of this.
After the game, Chen Meng was asked in an interview about the reason for the victory, and there was a sudden sound of fringe voices at the scene. Chen Meng responded with a sneer: "Yes, I did win by luck today." After the game, she held back tears and thanked her few supporters.
It is worth noting that some viewers satirized Chen Meng on the spot, which caused a controversy. Chen Meng's rebuke shows her determination and self-confidence as an Olympic champion. I hope that such discordant voices can be avoided in future competitions, after all, whether it is Chen Meng's fans or Sun Yingsha's fans, everyone should unite and support the entire Chinese table tennis team.
Looking ahead, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha are expected to join forces in the Paris Olympics and jointly challenge for the Olympic gold medal. Fans expect them to show more exciting performances on the field, continue to pay attention to their future, and believe that they can create another brilliant moment for Chinese table tennis.
