In the women's team final of the 2023 Chinese Table Tennis Super League, the Shenzhen University team narrowly defeated the Shandong Luneng team with a score of 3-2 after more than three hours of fierce competition, and finally lifted the championship trophy. In this game, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu both showed excellent performances, but it was the stable performance and tacit cooperation of the Shenzhen University team that finally ensured their victory.
The specific game is as follows: In the first game, Fan Siqi and Qian Tianyi lost 2-3 to Kuo Man and Chen Meng. Next, Wang Manyu defeated Sun Yingsha 3-2 in the second game, showing excellent strength. Subsequently, Qian Tianyi lost 0-3 to Chen Meng in the third game. Immediately afterwards, Wang Manyu defeated Kuaiman 3-0 in the fourth game.
In the last game, Fan Siqi lost 0-3 to Sun Yingsha. Although Wang Manyu performed well in the game, successfully defeating Sun Yingsha and keeping a clean sheet against Kuo Man, Shandong Luneng still missed the opportunity to win the championship, which is somewhat regrettable. Some believe that Shandong Luneng might be able to claim the title if they win the first doubles match.
In this match, Chen Meng of the Shenzhen University team performed steadily and won 3-2 in the women's doubles match against Kuo Man, laying the foundation for the team's victory. In addition, Sun's loss to Wang Manyu was not too surprising, as Wang Manyu is a former world champion in his own right.
In addition, regarding the performance of the Eels, some people pointed out that the team's performance has declined after the departure of Coach Xiao Zhan, but it seems that the team is gradually returning to stability and upward recovery. And Sun Yingsha's recent loss to Miu Hirano in international competitions and Wang Manyu in domestic competitions is related to the fact that she is tired from frequently participating in mixed doubles and singles competitions?
In addition, it was pointed out that in the top 10 of the ITTF world rankings, Chinese table tennis players occupy six places each in the men's singles and women's singles events. Therefore, the Chinese Table Tennis Super League is considered to be the world's top level table tennis event. However, what is surprising is that the Chinese Table Tennis Super Finals were not broadcast live on CCTV, and viewers need to buy a membership on Migu to broadcast the game live.
For fans who love table tennis, this is undoubtedly quite inconvenient. Some people even look for live broadcasts on Douyin, but often encounter the problem of unstable signal and have to switch live broadcast rooms frequently. This situation is embarrassing, and I hope that there will be better arrangements in the future. Some people questioned that although the Chinese Table Tennis Super League is serious, it is still not as good as Japan's T-League.
These are all issues that need to be considered in the development of Chinese table tennis.
