At present, in addition to Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, who are ranked in the top two in the world, Chen Xingtong's real level is not inferior to these two national table tennis players. Every time Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu competed very fiercely, although Wang Manyu often took the lead in the score at the beginning, or even a large lead, but in the end he was always dragged to the deciding game by Chen Xingtong. Especially in this year's Singapore Grand Slam, Chen Xingtong's defeat of Sun Yingsha really made the eyes of old fans shine.
Hina Hayada watched the match in the audience before she fought Sun Yingsha to the deciding game at the Incheon Championship. Chen Xingtong is the core and main force of the national table tennis women's team, and has performed well in the Olympic cycle, and his strength is no less than that of Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu. She has a tenacious style and all-round skills, and has the strength to challenge for the World Championship. In the future Olympic Games, Chen Xingtong is expected to occupy an important position in the national table tennis competition.
Chen Xing is the same as a Mesozoic player, with stable state and balanced singles and doubles skills. In contrast, the new generation of players such as Kuo Man still has a gap in strength, and it is difficult to break through her defense. In this month's Bangkok Star Challenge, Chen Xingtong will face Hina Hayada and other Japanese thorns in the singles match. At that time, fans will see that Chen Xingtong has an absolute advantage over Hina Hayata.
Why hasn't she fought Hina Hayada this cycle? The 2022 WTT tournament coaching staff originally planned to arrange for the two sides to make a move, but the person who sent it was Qian Tianyi. If Chen Xingtong plays, he is likely to win a big victory. Referring to her match against Miu Hirano, fans can see her restraint against Japanese table tennis players. The speed of the Japanese table tennis player is not a threat to her, and her basic skills and backhand skills are even stronger.
When Chen Meng was preparing for the Japanese table tennis players this year, Chen Xingtong also served as a sparring partner. Chen Xingtong can not only imitate the speed of Japanese table tennis players, but also become a treasure-level player with stronger basic skills and backhand skills. Like Wang Manyu, she still has room for technical improvement. After the 2023 World Table Tennis Championships, Grand Slam predecessor Zhang Yining spoke highly of her, believing that she is an explosive and stable player, with stable performance in the game, almost no injury record, extremely high concentration, and outstanding advantages.
In this Olympic cycle, Chen Xingtong had the greatest impact on Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and every match with Chen Meng reached a tiebreaker. She has a strong impact on the three main forces of national table tennis, and fans have high expectations, because she has the strength to challenge the three main forces of national table tennis. Chen Xingtong is also constantly optimizing his skills, from mainly defending and counterattacking in the past, to showing stronger active offensive ability, especially in the first three boards, forming a new challenge to Sun Yingsha.
As early as 2023, while Sun Yingsha vs. Chen Xing, almost every game won on key points. Chen Xingtong finally broke through Sun Yingsha this year, and her match with Wang Manyu was also up and down. Wang Manyu had a slight advantage when he took the initiative to attack in the first three boards, but Chen Xingtong's defensive skills were excellent and he could always tie the score with a steady backhand attack. Especially in the ball holding session, Chen Xingtong's stability is too high, and in the follow-up game, Wang Manyu generally increases the spin in order to limit her backhand attack speed, and rarely fights for speed.
Once Chen Xingtong's backhand attack speed is played, it will be difficult for the female players in the entire world table tennis world to gain the upper hand in the backhand link. Chen Xingtong's ability to hold the ball is very strong, and now she has strengthened her forehand initiative and balanced forehand and backhand skills. She needs to play more serve and attack tactics, especially to improve her return skills. If the hair extensions of the first three boards can be played stably, Chen Xing's goal of winning the championship at the same distance will be one step further.
Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are in a stable position, Chen Xingtong has the strength to challenge, and the future competition will be more exciting. She is actively preparing for top events such as the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup, and she has not been discouraged after losing the Olympic Games, and will use her skills to show her strong strength on the world stage and shock every audience.
Chen Xingtong is currently in a race against time, as long as she continues to maintain a stable performance, it is estimated that she will get a ticket in the next Olympic year. In such an environment, time is ticking, and Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu need to put in more effort if they want to maintain a good competitive state. Don't take it lightly and take every game seriously. I also have my own physical trainer and tactics to keep up.
Chen Xingtong should also participate in more doubles competitions in the next Olympic cycle, because her talent in doubles is not inferior to that of singles, and she is fully capable of winning the women's doubles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships. In this Olympic cycle, Chen Xingtong has performed well, and her results have improved significantly compared to the previous two years. Fans are optimistic about her future! Gold will always shine, Chen Xingtong should work hard to show his comprehensive strength!
