Beijing time on June 2, the current time has come to the beginning of June. As the clock ticked on, there was not much time left until the start of the Paris Olympics. The national table tennis and other popular teams have confirmed the final Olympic lineup, and the next period of time is mainly to rely on some commercial events to train and polish the competitive feel of the main players. At present, the WTT Championship Chongqing Station is being carried out intensively, and the national table tennis players in the singles event are playing steadily, and in a focus battle that has just ended, the 25-year-old women's team will withstand the pressure of her teammates and enter the semi-finals strongly, which is gratifying!
In the women's singles 1/4 finals of the WTT Chongqing Championships, national table tennis player Wang Manyu and teammate Chen Xingtong encountered. Let's talk about Wang Manyu's side first, as one of the absolute main forces of the current national table tennis women's team, Wang Manyu has shown strong strength since she played in the Tokyo Olympics, and she has attracted much attention from the outside world when she entered the Paris cycle. However, it is a pity that in the previous Saudi Grand Slam event, Wang Manyu was unexpectedly upset and directly "lost" the singles qualification for the Paris Olympics and obtained the qualification for the team competition. Objectively speaking, Wang Manyu's upper limit is still unpredictable, she is the main force in the next two cycles like Sun Yingsha, a failure does not mean anything, she will still stick to her beliefs and go all out. Chen Xingtong is also embarrassed here, she used to be able to go hand in hand with Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, but now she has "fallen" to the sub-main sequence, and after the Paris cycle is over, Chen Xingtong must seize the opportunity to correct himself, otherwise it will be very difficult to "change his life against the sky" in the future.
The comprehensive strength of the two is similar, and who can win depends on the on-the-spot performance. In the first set of this game, Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong saved the temptation to directly hit the hard, Wang Manyu's side took the lead by continuously controlling the ball in the table, and took the lead in holding the rhythm of the game in his hand, Chen Xingtong was a little slow to heat, did not adapt much, although he relied on the forehand attack to achieve some scores, but failed to carry Wang Manyu's better performance, Wang Manyu took the lead with 11-5. In the second set, Chen Xingtong adjusted and deliberately broke the game by continuously splitting long backhand positions, and this strategy achieved obvious results. Wang Manyu immediately adjusted his thinking, recovering the disadvantage by serving and attacking the forehand position, and at the end of the set, he continued to attack Chen Xingtong's forehand position, and then won again 11-9.
In the third set, Chen Xingtong, who had no way to retreat, launched quickly, showing good stability in the backhand attack, and Wang Manyu was a little uneasy in the matchup. Chen Xingtong seized Wang Manyu's mistake and pulled back the set 11-6. In the fourth set, Wang Manyu came up and played in a hurry, and there was a mistake in the forehand rush, and Chen Xingtong scored continuously. Then Chen Xingtong further widened the score gap with a fast forehand and backhand, and then completed the equalization of the set 11-7. After four sets, the two sides were tied 2-2 and stood on the same running line again. Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong used all their technical and tactical play styles in these four sets, finding flaws in each other between restricting and being restricted, but the only place that was not restricted was in the backhand hold.
In the fifth set, Wang Manyu once again encountered a backward situation in the early stage of the handicap, but fortunately, she played very patiently, and played steadily on the first three boards of the attack, Chen Xingtong also had a clear goal, and the attack point was concentrated in Wang Manyu's middle and forehand position, but Wang Manyu insisted on focusing on the backhand, and the two sides played very excitingly, which can be said to be a microcosm of the highest level of competition in the national table tennis women's team. After a hearty battle, Wang Manyu sealed the final victory 14-12. After learning the previous lesson, Wang Manyu's shot looked more decisive, and the queen of the later force lived up to her name, her tenacity and fearlessness helped her laugh to the end, and then she will face stronger challenges, continue to work hard!
