On October 4, 2024, the Chinese Grand Slam continued, and Wang Manyu reversed He Zhuojia 4-1 in the women's singles quarterfinals and advanced to the semifinals.
On the other side, Chen Xingtong easily defeated Xu Xiaoyuan 4-0. Two people have come out of the women's singles semifinals, and the national table tennis has locked a seat in the final in advance.
But who would have thought that the stories and contradictions behind these competitions would be hidden?
Wang Manyu's game did not go well at first. She lost 11-13 to Ho Zhuojia in the first game, which seemed to give the impression that she was not in good shape.
In the next few games, Wang Manyu immediately adjusted her state and won four games in a row 11-5, 11-4, 11-5, 11-9.
In the end, the reversal was completed 4-1.
He Zhuojia has actually been an unknown sparring partner in the Chinese table tennis team, but her strength should not be underestimated.
Her style of play is solid and experienced, so she can cause a lot of problems for Wang Manyu in the first game.
But Wang Manyu was not disrupted by the loss in the first game, but performed better in the next game.
Her every beat is precise and powerful, and the rhythm is well controlled, which makes it difficult for Ho Zhuojia to parry.
After the match, Wang Manyu said: "He Zhuojia is a very good opponent and her style of play is very challenging.
I learned a lot from this game. Hearing these words, many fans couldn't help but sigh,
The healthy competition between the national table tennis players is really admirable.
In contrast, Chen's game seems to be much easier.
She won 4-0 (11-9, 11-5, 11-4, 11-5) against chipper Seo Hyo-won.
In this game, Chen Xingtong almost didn't give Xu Xiaoyuan any chance, and he controlled the whole game in every game.
Xu Xiaoyuan is a chipper, which is a relatively rare style of play in the table tennis world. Chippers are characterized by strong defensive ability,
Returning the ball is tricky and can often put the opponent in a long tug-of-war. Chen Xingtong's offensive firepower is full,
Each of her attacks was precise and powerful, quickly breaking down Seo's defense.
After the game, Chen Xingtong said: "I did a lot of preparation before the game, and I did a lot of training for Xu Xiaoyuan's chipping style.
I'm very happy with the result today. Chen Xingtong's words make people feel her hard work and dedication.
This competition has attracted a lot of media attention. A well-known sports media report said:
"The outstanding performances of Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong once again prove the strong strength of Chinese table tennis." Another media commented:
"The national table tennis locked a seat in the women's singles final in advance, which is an achievement worth celebrating for Chinese table tennis."
Not all reports have been met with praise. Some media questioned whether the competition within the national table tennis was too fierce.
Will it be a psychological burden on the players? One media even proposed: "The match between Wang Manyu and He Zhuojia,
Does it also let us see some kind of contradiction within the national table tennis? These doubts,
I can't help but have more associations with the story behind this competition.
Table tennis is more than just a sport, it also has a profound impact on society and the economy.
As the tournament progresses, table tennis-related industries are also evolving. Every time the competition is held, it will drive the development of the surrounding economy.
From the construction of competition venues to the sale of peripheral goods, it can bring economic benefits to the local area.
An economist pointed out: "International competitions like this not only enhance the city's popularity,
It can also drive the development of tourism, catering and other industries. "These words,
Let people see the other side of table tennis - it is not only a sports competition, but also a booster of economic development.
There are also voices saying that there will be hidden dangers in over-reliance on sports events to drive the economy?
An expert said: "Although sports events can drive the economy, there are also certain risks. If the event cannot be continued,
So will these investments go down the drain? This point of view has made people think more about the economic benefits of table tennis events.
In the future, national table tennis will face more challenges and opportunities. In recent years, the ITTF has continued to introduce new rules,
It increases the difficulty of the competition, which is both a challenge and an opportunity for national table tennis. A table tennis coach said:
"The implementation of the new rules is a new challenge for us, but it is also an opportunity to improve our own strength."
In the past five years, national table tennis has made many brilliant achievements in the international arena, but it also faces many challenges.
For example, at the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, the national table tennis women's singles encountered strong resistance from Korea players and finally lost the gold medal.
This defeat made the national table tennis realize that only by constantly improving itself can it cope with challenges from all sides.
In the future, national table tennis needs to continue to work hard and constantly improve its strength. A veteran sports commentator noted:
"The future of national table tennis is full of challenges, but it is also full of hope. As long as we maintain the spirit of hard work and hard work, we will be able to create more brilliance. ”
These competitions are really emotional. Wang Manyu's reversal victory, Chen Xingtong's easy pass,
Every game is exciting. As an ordinary viewer, I am really proud of national table tennis.
What will the future of national table tennis be? Will it continue to shine, or will it face more challenges? Only time will tell. I hope that these athletes can continue to work hard to create more brilliance for Chinese table tennis. Let's wait and see.
