Among the eight points, Wang Manyu is second only to Sun Yingsha in the triple crown, why is he ranked fourth?
According to the latest world rankings released by the International Table Tennis Federation, Sun Yingsha ranks first in the world, and Sun Yingsha takes the first place with 8 points, which is also an important factor for Sun Yingsha to surpass and keep the first place in the world!
Wang Yidi is in second place with 4,505 points, while Wang Yidi is two out of eight points, namely the women's singles champion at the last Frankfurt Championship and the women's singles champion at the last Goa Golden Ball Challenge.
Chen Meng ranked third, her eighths reached 425 points, while Chen Meng's eight points were not at all.
Wang Manyu scored 8 points with 4137 points and ranked 4th. Wang Manyu scored three points out of eight, including the women's singles title at the last Macau Championships, the women's singles title at the PyeongChang Asian Championships, and the women's singles title at the official tournament in Taiyuan.
If you only look at the number of gold medals, Sun Yingsha ranks first with 8 gold medals, Wang Manyu ranks second with 3 gold medals, Wang Yidi ranks 3rd with 2 gold medals, and Chen Meng doesn't get it once.
There is a question that has been plaguing many fans: Wang Manyu, the three-time women's singles champion in the last session, ranked fourth after Wang Yidi and Chen Meng, what is going on?
In order to answer this question, we can see the clues from Wang Manyu's three scores.
Wang Manyu defeated Chen Meng at the Macau Open to win the women's singles title with 1,000 points.
Wang Manyu won the women's singles title at the Asian Championships by defeating Sun Yingsha in the women's singles final of the Asian Championships, but her score was only 500.
Wang Manyu defeated women's singles champion Wang Yidi with a score of 400 points in the official competition in Taiyuan last year.
Next, take a look at the two gold medals won by Wang Yidi. Wang Yidi defeated Wang Manyu at the Frankfurt Open last year and scored 1,000 points, which is the same score as Wang Manyu at the Macau Open.
Wang Yidi surpassed Wang Manyu with a high score of 600 points in the last Goa Golden Ball Challenge and became the first place in the women's singles of the Asian Championships.
In addition, in the last Nagoya finals, Wang Yidi failed to win the championship, but Wang Yidi won the second place, and he also got one hundred and five points! This number even surpasses the record of Macau champion Wang Manyu!
Let's take a look at Chen Meng's performance. Although Chen Meng has not won the championship for two years, he reached the final of the World Championships in Durban last year and scored 1,400 points!
Chen Meng's second place is enough for Wang Manyu to score a point in the Macau Championships and the Taiyuan Official Challenger!
In addition, although Chen Meng has not won the singles championship for two consecutive years, she has always been very stable and has reached the women's singles finals many times!
Compared with Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu won three gold medals, but she didn't catch them twice because her score was high.
One was in the last Durban tournament, Wang Manyu lost to Chen Xingtong in the 1 4 finals, and in the Nagoya finals, Wang Manyu was defeated by Chen Xingtong!
This made Wang Manyu fail to reach the semi-finals in both competitions, and Chen Meng's score was much less than Wang Yidi's!
Although Wang Manyu won three gold medals, only the eight gold medals won by Sun Yingsha, she did not grasp it because of several major competitions, making Chen Meng and Wang Yidi's current world ranking only ranked fourth after Wang Manyu!
And with the Paris Olympics approaching, Wang Manyu no longer has too many opportunities, and if Wang Manyu wants to enter Paris, then she needs to seize the Grand Slam in Singapore, and the Grand Slam in Singapore can also allow Wang Manyu to surpass Chen Meng and Wang Yidi!
If not, it will be even more difficult for Wang Manyu to qualify for singles at the Paris Olympics!
I hope Wang Manyu can continue to work hard and strive for better performances in the following events.
