At 8:30 p.m. on August 3, 2024, the women's singles final of table tennis at the Paris Olympics will begin, and two Chinese players, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, will face off at the pinnacle. This match is destined to be a feast for table tennis fans, because no matter who wins, the Chinese table tennis team will go home with gold and silver medals.
Back to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, the duel between Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha is really unforgettable. At that time, the 27-year-old Chen Meng was at his peak, and the whole game was very imposing, and his technical and psychological state reached the peak. Her forehand attack, backhand control, and composure in the game are impressive. On the contrary, although Sun Yingsha's performance was also brilliant at that time, she was still growing. Although her youth and momentum can bring a lot of surprises, in the face of Chen Meng's stability and experience, it still seems a little insufficient.
Some netizens recalled the game at that time and said: "I remember that game, Sun Yingsha fought very fiercely at the beginning, but Chen Meng's every counterattack was particularly powerful, and my heart jumped out when I saw it." Another netizen commented: "Although Sun Yingsha lost, her potential is really huge, and I feel that as long as she accumulates more experience, she will definitely be able to reach Chen Meng's current level in the future." ”
Chen Meng finally won that match 4-2 to win the gold medal. After the game, netizens discussed the game, and some said: "Chen Meng's performance is really too strong, and it perfectly shows what it means to be at the top level." Some people also spoke highly of Sun Yingsha: "Although Sun Yingsha lost, her future is limitless, and this is just the beginning of her career." ”
Two years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Sun Yingsha has grown from a potential star to the absolute first sister of national table tennis. Her technique is getting more and more mature, and the consistency she has shown in the game has been surprising. She has been ranked No. 1 in the world rankings for a long time and has become a rising star in the table tennis world.
When netizens evaluate Sun Yingsha now, they all feel that her progress is too fast, and some netizens said: "Sun Yingsha is really the pride of national table tennis now, and her progress speed is simply fast!" Another person sighed: "Her performance has been really amazing during this time, and it feels like she has completely controlled her technique and rhythm of the game." ”
Looking at Sun Yingsha's growth, everyone is full of expectations for her future. Her performance in every competition is a surprise, and it also makes everyone look forward to her performance in the upcoming finals.
In contrast, Chen Meng's ranking has slipped slightly. She's always given her best, both in training and in games. But the competition within the national table tennis is too fierce, and she finds herself gradually falling behind in the rankings, which makes her a little frustrated. She understands that she is now facing not only opponents, but also intense pressure from her teammates.
In such an environment, although she is still in good shape, the decline in the ranking still makes her feel a little heavy. Sometimes she wonders if she can find a breakthrough in this pressure and get back to the top. Chen Meng's technical characteristics are mainly reflected in her backhand shots. She has very strong backhands and high quality boards.
Her usual style of play is to take the initiative to step back half a step, and then block the opponent's attack with both sides, and the thickness when pulling the ball is also very obvious. In matches, she can control the speed and angle of the ball with a precise backhand, making it difficult for opponents to find a way to crack it.
Some fans especially appreciated her backhand shots when discussing her technique. A netizen commented: "Chen Meng's backhand is really a must, every time I see her backhand, I feel that the whole scene is under her control." Especially her backhand blocking after retiring from the stage, it is simply difficult to break through. Another netizen also shared her opinion: "Her thick feeling of pulling the ball is really incomparable." Hitting the backhand so accurately and being able to use aggression at critical moments is really a headache for the opponent. ”
Some fans also discussed how Chen Meng's backhand skills affect the rhythm of the game: "Looking at her game, you know that once Chen Meng blocks with her backhand, she can basically disrupt the opponent's rhythm." Not only is her backhand powerful, but she is also very steady on the ball. Another netizen mentioned: "Another characteristic of her backhand skills is that she can maintain patience in the confrontation and not be impatient." This steady style of play is truly remarkable. ”
Chen Meng's backhand shot not only excelled technically, but also put pressure on the opponent psychologically. Every time her opponent faces her backhand, he feels at a loss for what to do. This technical trait allowed her to always take the initiative in the game and help her win when it mattered most.
Fans also said that it was precisely because Chen Meng had such a strong backhand hitting ability that she behaved so confidently and calmly in the game. Everyone is looking forward to her continuing to use this technical advantage in future competitions and bringing more exciting moments to the audience.
However, in this Olympic Games, Chen Meng still showed her strong strength. Her performances were impressive, winning all three of her matches 4-0 and ending the other two with a 4-1 scoreline. Every game was played cleanly and basically did not give the opponent any chance. Fans have seen her confidence grow with each of her victories, and they have said in their comments that although Chen Meng is a little behind in the rankings, her form and skills are still at the top level.
Sun Yingsha's performance was equally eye-catching. She won comfortably 4-0 in all five matches. Especially in the semi-finals, she defeated Hina Hayata, and she played very well in this match, which made people feel excited. Every time she swings her racket, it seems as if you can feel her confidence and determination.
Her victory is a great place to look forward to in the upcoming final. Netizens mentioned in the discussion: "Sun Yingsha's state is really explosive, and I feel that she is ready to shine in the finals." Another netizen also said: "She has played fantastic in these games, and I am really looking forward to her performance in the finals!" ”
Whether it's Chen Meng or Sun Yingsha, this final will be a wonderful battle, and everyone is looking forward to seeing how they fight hard and show their best form on the field.
This final is not just a battle for gold, but also means that Sun Yingsha has the potential to take a major step on the road to a personal Grand Slam. If she wins, she will become the shortest single Olympic gold medallist in history (mixed doubles, women's singles and women's team). As for Chen Meng, she hopes to successfully defend her title and close to becoming the third "big devil" in the table tennis world, and her predecessors Deng Yaping and Zhang Yining are both owners of this honor.
Both players are well prepared for this final. Regardless of the final result, this match will be a wonderful display of Chinese table tennis and a contest between the two players at their peak. For fans, it will be a visual feast not to be missed.
