The No. 2 candidate for the national table tennis women's singles at the Paris Olympics has finally settled, and Chen Meng has the last laugh.
Wang Manyu and Chen Meng are both top players in the world, and their level is between the best, and whoever participates in the Olympic women's singles has the strength to fight for one. However, the impact of Wang Manyu's defeat is multifaceted.
Sun Yingsha's Grand Slam is stable. In the Olympic Games, the World Table Tennis Championships, and the World Cup, Sun Yingsha has won the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup, and Wang Manyu is still the strongest competitor although she only has the World Table Tennis Championships. This time, Chen Meng participated in the Olympic women's singles, which directly deprived Wang Manyu of the qualification to compete for the Olympic women's singles championship, and objectively helped Sun Yingsha. In other words, Wang Manyu no longer has the possibility of a Grand Slam.
Chen Meng's winning the Olympic women's singles is no longer a dream. After winning the Tokyo Olympics, Chen Meng blurted out that famous sentence, and public opinion was in an uproar for a while. Although practice has proved that her time has not really come, it does not prevent her from striving for the women's singles championship this time. Of course, the process is very difficult, not only with foreign opponents intercepting heavily, but also with Sun Yingsha's insurmountable Xionghu.
Wang Manyu has no chance to compete in Olympic singles. Wang Manyu was fledgling at the Tokyo Olympics, and this time he is in peak condition. The world ranking and the number of championships are better than Chen Meng, and the Olympic Organizing Committee also sent an invitation, but in the end he missed it. It's not so much about making people as it is about losing to the rules of weirdness.
As for the next Olympics, he is already 29 years old......
The Japanese team may be celebrating the crown. In addition to Sun Yingsha, the Japanese team has the most headache, and the only one left is Wang Manyu. In the last two matches, it was Wang Manyu who dealt a heavy blow to Japan's two Olympic women's singles players. In the Macau World Cup in April, Wang Manyu eliminated Japan's number one main Hina Hayada 4-1. In the Chongqing Championship in June, he swept the second sister Miu Hirano 3-0. Such an opponent, Japanese table tennis definitely does not want to face in the Olympics.
The Saudi Arabian race in May this year can be called the Waterloo of Wang Manyu's career.
In the 1/16 finals, Wang Manyu unexpectedly lost 1-3 to the Indian monster player Batra. In the next 1/8 finals, 1/4 finals and semifinals, Chen Meng beat the three generals of Japanese table tennis Miyu Hirano, Miwa Zhangmoto and Hina Hayada 3-0, 4-1, 4-0.
The performance of Wang Manyu and Chen Meng has formed a great contrast. It was also this Saudi Arabia competition that directly determined the trend of women's table tennis singles at the Paris Olympics.
There was no doubt about Chen Meng's strength, but he also faintly smelled the breath of conspiracy ......#头条首发大赛#
