Chen Meng's 22 points may have suppressed Wang Manyu, and the Singapore Grand Slam avoided Sun Yingsha
With the Paris Olympics approaching, the competition of my country's women's volleyball team has become more intense. However, according to the current ITTF global rankings in week 9 of 2024, Chen Meng has risen to second place and still has a certain advantage in the men's singles competition in Paris. Chen Meng was able to evade Sun and hold her spot at the Grand Slam in Singapore.
The huge advantage of 22 points has surpassed any language, and Chen Meng, who has been in more than 30 years, will be her second Olympic women's singles title.
According to the global ranking of the 9th week of the ITTF in 2024, Chen Meng's score is 4527, while Wang Yidi's score is 4505, which is only 22 points more than Chen Meng. The Singapore Grand Slam tournament kicks off on 10 March, and if Chen can retain her ranking, she will be grouped in Group 1 and Group 2 to determine which group she is in. Judging from Sun Yingsha's current situation, she doesn't want to be in the top half of the same zone with Sava, because Singapore has won more than 2,000 Grand Slams, and Chen dreams of competing with Wang Manyu for the women's singles title in Paris, which is also very crucial.
Chen Meng, who has now risen to No. 2 in Singapore, will be placed in the bottom half of the bracket, which means that she will not meet Sun Yingsha in the women's singles competition. As for Wang Manyu, what group she will be placed in depends on the final draw. Judging from the results of the Olympic Games, the gap between Chen Meng and Wang Manyu is too big. Because she is in the same group as Sasha, she has entered the toughest women's singles match, and Chen Meng is also likely to make it to the final match.
According to recent news, the Women's Singles World Cup in April will see an increase in the number of participants, and Chen Meng and Wang Manyu will also get more qualifications, and it is almost impossible for Wang Manyu to match the distance between her and Chen Meng at the World Championships. Chen Meng is an experienced female athlete in national table tennis who won her first Grand Slam tournament at the 2020 World Cup. In Paris, this is also Chen Meng's second Olympic women's singles favorite.
Chen Meng, 30, will compete for the men's singles gold medal in Paris, while Sun Yingsha is the favourite to win the gold medal.
Although Chen Meng occupies a certain number of points, but from the game in Busan, it can be seen that the characteristics of the Indian women's volleyball team, as well as the strength of several core players in Japan have been greatly improved, Chen Meng unexpectedly failed in the first round of the Grand Slam competition in Singapore, and was eliminated in the second round, so Wang Manyu's score is still very high, so Wang Manyu may surpass Chen Meng. Therefore, in the battle that followed, Chen Meng still didn't dare to take it lightly.
Chen Meng was able to win the men's singles crown in Paris in the end, and I think Sun Yingsha still has an advantage in winning the first place in the women's singles.
Chen Meng is over 30 after all, and she is not as good as Sun Yingsha in terms of physical fitness and skills. The rest of the Japanese players are not bad, but the other players at the World Championships in Busan have already been killed by Sasha. For Sasha, in the women's singles competition at the Paris Olympics, her biggest competitors are still her Chen Meng and Wang Manyu. In terms of ability, Chen Meng is stronger than Wang Manyu.
What do you think of Chen Meng, who has been promoted to world No. 2, and Wang Manyu of Paris in women's singles? We'd love to see your comments and**.
