Wang Yidi lost to Sun Yingsha, Sun Yingsha won the championship, the game was very exciting, and the two young players had hard work

"Sha" is angry! Wang Yidi regretted the loss, and Sun Yingsha was crowned in Macau, but is this really a wonderful showdown?

On the evening of September 15, 2024, in the women's singles final of the WTT Macau Championships, a national table tennis civil war, Sun Yingsha played against Wang Yidi. The final score was fixed at 4:2, and Sun Yingsha once again stood on the top podium. After the game, the Internet was full of praise for Sun Yingsha, and the calls for "Sasha is awesome" and "deserved" came and went. But in this seemingly one-sided situation, are we overlooking something? Is this game really as netizens said "special, special and exciting"?

1. The strong "Little Demon King" is in the next city, and Wang Yidi is powerless to return to the sky

At the beginning of the game, Sun Yingsha showed strong dominance and easily won the first game 11:7. Wang Yidi is not a soft persimmon, she quickly adjusted her state in the second game and pulled back a city with 11:6. The next game fell into a stalemate, the scores of the two sides rose alternately, Sun Yingsha narrowly won in the third and fifth games, and Wang Yidi took the lead again in the fourth game. In the end, Sun Yingsha locked the victory with 11:4 and lifted the championship trophy with a more stable performance.

2. Wonderful? Maybe it's just another "Sha" style of play

It is undeniable that Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi are both leaders in Chinese women's table tennis, and their technical level is beyond doubt. But is this game really as netizens said, "It's really good, it's very exciting"? Looking back carefully on the game process, it is not difficult to find that except for the second and fourth games, Wang Yidi caused some trouble to Sun Yingsha, most of the time, the rhythm of the game was firmly controlled by Sun Yingsha.

Netizens commented that "Sun Yingsha's rhythm and quality in the fifth game accelerated, the change of the top straight line strategy, and the state of playing in the back is getting better and better", this sentence just exposes the key to the problem: Sun Yingsha can always improve her state at critical moments and control the rhythm of the game, while Wang Yidi seems to have been led by the nose and lacks effective coping strategies.

3. Is Wang Yidi not strong enough, or is the "Sha" style of rule too terrifying?

The result of this game is not so much that Sun Yingsha won, but that Wang Yidi lost. Netizens' evaluation of Sun Yingsha is "any opponent at any time, no slackness", and for Wang Yidi, "Sasha won, Dadi also fights well". This kind of evaluation seems to be objective, but in fact, it implies "sympathy" for Wang Yidi and "naturalness" for Sun Yingsha.

It is true that Wang Yidi showed a fighting spirit in the game, but in the end, competitive sports still look at the result. fell to Sun Yingsha again and again, and we can't help but ask: Is Wang Yidi not strong enough, or is the "Sha" style of rule too terrifying?

Some people may say that Sun Yingsha's victory is a reflection of strength, but if every game lacks suspense and every victory seems to be taken for granted, then can such a game really be called "exciting"?

This WTT Macau Championship is more like a stage for Sun Yingsha's solo performance, and she has once again proved that she is the hegemon of today's women's table tennis with her strong strength and stable performance. Is it really good for a "dominant family" like Chinese women's table tennis?

When fans have become accustomed to Sun Yingsha's victory, and when opponents have lost confidence in challenging her, where is the future of Chinese women's table tennis?

We need to see how strong Sun Yingsha is, and we need to see the progress of other players. We need to see the good game, but we also need to see the suspense and the challenge. Only in this way can Chinese women's table tennis continue to maintain a leading position in the world table tennis arena and truly achieve "how lonely it is to be invincible".

This game left us with a lot more to think about than the result itself. We look forward to the emergence of more outstanding athletes like Sun Yingsha in Chinese women's table tennis, and we look forward to them being able to continue to break through themselves in the competition and dedicate more exciting games to the fans.

I also want to ask readers, do you think this game is really exciting? What are your expectations for the future of women's table tennis in China? Feel free to leave a message in the comment section and share your views.
