Looking back on the 2023 season, Sun Yingsha won seven championship trophies, including the women's singles championship at the World Table Tennis Championships. There is no doubt that she is the brightest star in the international table tennis world in 2023. However, it may be too early to say that Sun Yingsha, who is only 23 years old, can already be called the big devil of the table tennis world. After all, although Sun Yingsha is the strongest and best performer in the women's table tennis world today, so far, she only has the World Table Tennis Championships, the only singles world champion in hand, and now she is crowned the title of the big devil, which is really an exaggeration.
You must know that so far, national table tennis not only has Zhang Yining, a veritable big devil in the table tennis world, but also Deng Yaping, Wang Nan, Li Xiaoxia and Ding Ning are also big devils. What they have in common is that they all have Grand Slam winners in their hands, including the Olympics, the World Table Tennis Championships and the World Cup, and they are even more vulnerable to tour-level singles titles like the WTT series. Even Chen Meng, who has zero championships in the 2023 season, has an Olympic singles championship and a World Cup singles championship, and in terms of achievements, at least so far, Chen Meng is undoubtedly higher than Sun Yingsha.
Therefore, Sun Yingsha is still a long way from the title of the Great Demon King, at least she has to work hard to win an Olympic singles championship and a singles World Cup championship, otherwise, no matter how many championships she wins every year, she will not be able to become a big demon king, and at most she will be the same as Liu Shiwen and Chen Meng in terms of achievements. That's right!Before the ITTF launched WTT, Chen Meng was the queen of the tour, and the number of tour championships won was second to none in the women's table tennis world.
Sun Yingsha Of course, with Sun Yingsha's current competitive state and technical level, it is only a matter of time before she wants to become a big devil, because the upcoming 2024 happens to be the Olympic year, and the singles World Cup, which has been suspended for three years, will also reopen in April 2024. In other words, as long as Sun Yingsha wins the World Cup and the Olympic singles championship successively, she will become a veritable and well-deserved table tennis demon at the same time as she achieves the Grand Slam.
