In the recent WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, Chen Meng played well and won the women's doubles and women's singles championships.
In the women's singles competition, Chen Menglik defeated five foreign association players, especially the three players selected for the Olympic list of Japanese table tennis, mighty and domineering. In the women's singles final, Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha and won the women's singles championship.
This championship is too important for Chen Meng.
Starting with the Singapore Grand Slam in March 2022, Chen Meng has not won the women's singles title at an international tournament for more than two years. Chen Meng, as a double gold king of the Olympic Games, has won the World Series many times, and the former No. 1 player in the women's table tennis world has not won the women's singles championship for more than 700 days, which is too rare.
After Chen Meng won the women's singles championship at the Saudi Grand Slam, she gained 2000 world ranking points. She returned to the top two in the world rankings. And winning a Grand Slam tournament will greatly boost her self-confidence. On top of that, she will qualify for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics.
Before the Saudi Grand Slam was underway, Chen Meng's Olympic selection points were 1,555 points less than Wang Manyu's. Chen Meng won the Saudi Grand Slam women's singles championship and can get 2,000 world ranking points and 3,000 international competition bonus points. Wang Manyu lost to India's Batra in the Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, losing 3,000 points.
In the new Olympic selection women's singles points ranking, Sun Yingsha ranked first with 30,050 points, Chen Meng ranked second with 17,960 points, Wang Manyu ranked third with 11,865 points, and Wang Yidi ranked fourth with 9,555 points. If the Table Tennis Association does not make new changes, then Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng will qualify for the women's singles at the Paris Olympics.
With little hope, Chen Meng achieved a counterattack. What a good thing this is for Chen Meng.
The moment he won the championship, Chen Meng was very happy. Some viewers thought that Chen Meng's secret to winning the championship was edge ball, and Chen Meng replied domineeringly: "Some viewers said that the secret of my victory was edge ball, indeed, I am very lucky." With Chen Meng's character, it is rare to respond to the audience like this.
At this Saudi Grand Slam, there were many domestic fans sitting in the audience, and most of them were girls. There are not only fans of Sun Yingsha, but also fans of players such as Chen Meng and Wang Manyu.
Chen Meng fought and won successes, and he was in a very good mood. Also in a good mood are Chen Meng's coach Sun Xun, Ma Lin, and her fans.
When Chen Meng returned to the hotel after the game, Ma Lin and Sun Xun followed. Ma Lin personally opened the door of the lobby for Chen Meng. A few people talked and laughed, and they were very happy.
There are fans in the hotel lobby. They greeted Chen Meng. Chen Meng recognized them and said with a smile, "It's you again." ”
Chen Meng chatted with fans and signed autographs for fans. While fans felt sorry for Chen Meng's hard work, they also praised Chen Meng for being so good. Some fans said that they deliberately wore a cheongsam to watch the game, hoping that Chen Meng would win. Chen Meng cast a grateful look. Chen Meng's relationship with fans has always been very good.
After Chen Meng returned to China with the national table tennis, he met fans again. Some fans said that they wanted to go to Chongqing to watch Chen Meng's game. They originally wanted to go to Taiyuan to support Chen Meng, but they couldn't grab tickets at all. They also complained to Chen Meng, and in order to grab the ticket, their hands were folded. It can be seen how much they want to support Chen Meng. Chen Meng was embarrassed.
Having so many fans support is a blessing for Chen Meng. I hope she plays well and gives back to the fans who support her.
