In the 2024 WTT China Grand Slam, the national table tennis won 5 championships in advance, and the champions of mixed doubles, men's doubles and women's doubles have been decided. In the men's singles final, teenager Lin Shidong challenged Ma Long, the winner of the double Grand Slam, and hit the glory of the double championship. In the women's singles final, the top two seeds Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu will bring us a peak showdown.
19-year-old Lin Shidong, at the beginning of the Los Angeles Olympic cycle, rose rapidly, won three crowns in Almaty, won the men's singles championship in the Macau Championships full of masters, and the higher-level Chinese Grand Slam once again reached the men's singles final and has won the mixed doubles championship, and Lin Shidong's men's doubles also entered the final, but was reversed by Wang Chuqin/Liang Jingkun in the case of winning two games first, even if the men's doubles final lost and fell to the runner-up, Lin Shidong is still the most shining person in this Chinese Grand Slam, All three fronts were able to reach the final and become the only player with a double hope.
The 36-year-old Ma Long, who is still ageless, swept Liang Jingkun 4-0 in the semifinals, such a good state, amazing! Deng Yaping said: Everything is under Ma Long's control. As we all know, national table tennis needs to replace the old and the new, but Liu Guoliang also said: If you want the old players to retire, you must retreat. And now, the form that Ma Long has shown in this year's Chinese Grand Slam can't help but give people the illusion of going back in time. Who can beat off Malone? In the men's singles final, whether Lin Shidong can give an answer, wait and see!
The world's No. 1 Sun Yingsha and the world's No. 3 Wang Manyu broke through from the upper and lower halves of the women's singles with the top two seeds of the tournament respectively, and successfully met in the finals, which can be said to be expected! Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are both players who participated in the Paris Olympics, and in the last Macau Championship, the two who were absent from systematic training were actually not in the best condition, but Sun Yingsha still won the championship with her own willpower, and Wang Manyu broke into the semifinals and lost to Wang Yidi 0-4 in the semifinals. In this Chinese Grand Slam, whether it is Sun Yingsha or Wang Manyu, the state is better than the previous one, and I believe that the excitement of the women's singles final will not disappoint everyone.
On the final day, the women's singles final between Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu will start at 6 p.m., and the men's singles final between Lin Shidong and Ma Long will take place.
