There is no upset in women’s singles at the Asian Championships! It’s a pity that the two kings Sun and Chen swept the top four!At least two missed the chance to play in Paris
On September 8, Beijing time, the women’s singles semi-finals of the 2023 Table Tennis Pyeongchang Asian Championships were produced. Chen Xingtong defeated Thailand’s Oravan Paranang 3-0, and Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha defeated Japan’s Mima Ito in foreign battles respectively. , Hina Hayata, and Wang Manyu defeated veteran Chen Meng 3-2 in the civil war. Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi, and Chen Xingtong are currently the strongest foursome in the national table tennis women’s team. However, according to the National Table Tennis Team’s consistent Olympic strategy of using veterans, at least two of the two kings, Sun and Chen, may not be able to compete in next year’s Paris Olympics.
Tonight Wang Manyu and Chen Meng fought hard for 5 games. This 5-game format is not very beneficial to Chen Meng. Of course, if it is a 7-game format, it will be normal for the two of them to win in the end. In this game, Chen Meng changed his habit of slow start in the first game and took the initiative to launch an aggressive attack. In the first game, Chen Meng got off to a good start with 11-9. In the second game, Wang Manyu immediately responded with a score of 11-6. In the crucial third game, Wang Manyu won 14-12. In the fifth game, Chen Meng recovered one game 11-9, and Wang Manyu secured the victory 11-9 in the deciding game.
It can be said that both of them have performed at their best competitive level. It is very rare for Chen Meng, who will turn 30 in four months, to maintain such a state and performance. But in the arena, it is necessary to compete and compete with each other. This game shows that Wang Manyu is relatively better than Chen Meng.
In the four quarter-finals of women’s singles, Chen Xingtong had the easiest time defeating Olawan Paranam 3-0. In both Sino-Japanese battles, Japanese players won one game, but only symbolically. Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha basically had complete control of the situation.
Because there are so many talents in national table tennis, there are many dilemmas when it comes to the big issue of Olympic selection. Chen Meng’s halo as the women’s singles champion in the last Olympic Games still plays a big role. If nothing else happens, Chen Meng should at least be one of the three men on the national table tennis women’s team at the Paris Olympics. As for whether she can compete in both team and singles in Paris. Well, it’s hard to predict right now.
Sun Yingsha is now number one in the world, and is the new women’s singles champion at the Durban World Table Tennis Championships, and a pillar of the mixed doubles in the National Table Tennis Olympic Games. There is a high probability that only one of Wang Manyu, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong can go to the Paris Olympics. The three of them are still working hard for their dreams. Come on, three of them. In short, whoever does not go to Paris will feel regretful in the hearts of the fans.
