Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi defeated Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi with a total score of 3:1 to win the 2024 China Grand Slam Table Tennis Women's Doubles Championship!
This pinnacle showdown can be described as exciting, which makes fans addicted.
At the beginning of the game, Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi showed strong strength.
They are like two nimble kittens, moving left and right in front of the table, suppressing the opponent's backhand with outstanding tactical effect.
Wang Yidi seemed to have eaten bitter melon, with a bitter expression and frequent mistakes.
The score of the first game was fixed at 12:10, and the Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi combination took the lead.
The second game of the contest was even more thrilling, the two sides went back and forth, and the score was like dancing tango, tightly entangled.
Seeing that the score came to 9:10, the Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi combination called a timeout, presumably to discuss countermeasures.
Unfortunately, this timeout did not have a magical effect, and the Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi combination won the game again 12:10, and the two laughed like cats stealing fish.
A netizen commented: This game is simply a 'tale of two cities' in the table tennis world!
The combination of Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi is simply seamless, like a pair of twins with a heart.
Their tacit understanding is comparable to that of an old husband and wife for many years, and every ball seems to have predicted each other's thoughts in advance.
In contrast, although the Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi combination has excellent individual strength, it seems to be a bit 'siloed' in doubles.
This reminds me of the 'Mero Combination' on the football field, no matter how strong the individual ability is, if you can't integrate into the team, it will be difficult to play the most powerful.
This match once again proved that table tennis doubles is not only a contest of strength, but also a contest of tacit understanding and tactics.
Seeing that the general trend has gone, the Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi combination suddenly broke out in the third game.
They were like doping, swinging their rackets fast and attacking like a storm.
In this game, they pulled back a city with a disparity of 11:3, as if they had given themselves a shot in the arm.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the fourth game turned into a tug-of-war again.
The two sides launched a fierce attack on the far platform, the ball came and went, and the audience's eyes were almost unable to keep up.
In the end, the Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi combination successfully won the winning point and won the championship trophy with a better tacit understanding.
For Sun Yingsha, this is undoubtedly a bitter defeat.
As a rising star in the Chinese table tennis world, she tasted defeat for the first time in a Chinese Grand Slam tournament, which is probably more sour than eating a hundred lemons.
What's even more embarrassing is that this is the first time she has partnered with Wang Yidi to participate in the women's doubles competition, and she suffered Waterloo.
Some netizens commented: Sun Yingsha's loss this time, to put it bluntly, is a common problem of 'newcomers'!
You see her partnering with Wang Yidi, just like two college roommates who just met, although they are both excellent, they have not yet cultivated a tacit understanding.
In contrast, Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi is like a small hair who grew up together, and the cooperation is seamless.
Still, I don't think that's a good thing.
As the saying goes, eat a trench and grow a wisdom.
This defeat made Sun Yingsha realize the special nature of the doubles competition, and also allowed her to pay more attention to the cooperation with her partner in future training.
I believe that when she and Wang Yidi develop a tacit understanding, they will definitely become a pair that will make opponents fearful!
Post-match analysis showed that an important reason for the loss of the Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi combination was the problem of running.
Chen Xingtong/Qian Tian is a group of left and right, just like the yin and yang fish of the Taiji diagram, and the running position is flexible and free.
And Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi are both right-handed, and the running position looks a little constrained, as if they are wearing a pair of shoes that are one size smaller.
Despite the doubles loss, fans are still looking forward to Sun Yingsha's performance in the upcoming women's singles match.
This little girl's strength is like an untapped gold mine, with unlimited potential.
A veteran fan commented: It doesn't matter if you lose this game, the key is to learn from it.
I think the problem between Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi is mainly that they don't cooperate well enough.
You see the two of them, it's like two separate individuals playing a game, not as a whole.
In contrast, the cooperation between Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi is like a precision machine, and every part is just right.
I suggest that Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi put more effort into studying doubles tactics in their future training and increase their training time.
There is also a need to strengthen the psychological quality, after all, there is still a little less experience in the competition.
However, I believe that as long as they study hard and practice hard, they will become the world's top doubles pair in time!
This match showed a very high level of table tennis skills, which can be called a visual feast.
The outcome of the game is the result of a combination of factors, including a contest of skills and a psychological game.
Whether it is the winning Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi combination, or the losing Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi combination, they all showed valuable fighting spirit and courage to face challenges.
Some netizens summed it up like this: This game is really exciting, and I am excited to see it!
Although the Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi combination lost, their performance was definitely not lost to their opponents.
Look at Sun Yingsha's backhand pull, it is simply a bolt of lightning, so fast that it is dazzling.
Wang Yidi's forehand attack is also tigerish, and every board is full of power.
They lose in coordination, like two good soloists who haven't learned how to play together.
But I believe that with some time, they will grow into the best duo they can be."
As for Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi, their tacit understanding is simply textbook-level.
Watching them play is like watching a pair of dancing partners with a heart dancing a waltz, elegant and tacit.
This game is not only a contest of skills, but also a vivid table tennis lesson.
Both the winners and the losers have taught us a lesson: in table tennis, individual ability is important, but teamwork is the key to victory!
Although the game has come to an end, the lessons it has brought us are far from over.
It not only shows the vigorous development of table tennis in China, but also explains for us what is the true sportsmanship.
Whether it was the winner or the loser, they all sweated on the field and showed the spirit of tenacious fighting.
This spirit is the driving force that pushes China's table tennis forward.
Let's look forward to the next game, I believe that whether it is Sun Yingsha/Wang Yidi combination, or Chen Xingtong/Qian Tianyi combination, it will bring us more surprises and touches!
