The first and most important tournament of 2024 is about to begin, the Doha Stars Challenge. This is particularly important because all the main players of the men's and women's teams will participate, while the men's team has only participated in the men's final in Doha and the women's team has not participated at all.
Although Sun Yingsha received some decompression in the tournament and did not have to compete in the Women's Doubles, she will face a huge challenge next. Sun Yingsha will compete in both the women's singles and mixed doubles, and the results have been unexpectedly tough.
First up is the Mixed Doubles, where she and her partner Wang Chuqin will face a pair of qualifiers in the first round, while in the second round they could face a very strong pair of Wong Chun Ting and To Hoi Kim. At the same time, in the women's singles competition, Sun Yingsha's signing was also extremely difficult.
She will face a slew of very strong opponents, including Japan's Miyu Nagasaki, Miwa Haramoto, Hina Hayata, and potential opponents Szokos and Yuan Jianan. Such a signing is undoubtedly a great challenge for Sun Yingsha, and this may be exactly what some people want to see.
Although it is not a bad thing for the national table tennis to fight a civil war, Sun Yingsha is facing all foreign wars, and they are all top players from Japan. Such pressure is undoubtedly huge for Sun Yingsha.
She faces a situation where Japan's only three top players are all on her side and she must remain unbeaten in every match, especially against foreign players. At the same time, there is also her old rival Wang Manyu in the top half.
In contrast, the players in the lower half of the division, Chen Meng, Wang Yidi and Kuo Man, had much better luck, and it can be said that the signing position of Sasha is simply worlds apart.
