On October 27, 2022, the Table Tennis World Cup final continued in Xinxiang . The national table tennis Olympic champion won the first game, Chen Meng 3-1 reversed French player Yuan Jianan and advanced to the women's singles quarterfinals, waiting for the winners of Chen Xingtong and Yang Xiaoxin , and looking forward to Chen Meng fighting Chen Xingtong again.
Olympic champion Chen Meng is currently ranked second, second only to Sun Yingsha . In the last championship game, Chen Meng lost to Romanian player Szokos . When she came to a new arena, she also hopes to play to her level, be the best self, and strive to achieve another good result. She faced Yuan Jianan in the first round. This game has received key attention and the opponent has made rapid progress. It is indeed not to be underestimated. The key is to take the serve.
French player Yuan Jianan has performed well recently, especially in the championship game, eliminating the main player of the national table tennis team Wang Manyu , which is unexpected. Later, she defeated the Japanese star Ishikawa Kasumi and advanced to the semi-finals of women's singles. In the end, she lost to Sun Yingsha 0-4. Yuan Jianan's high-selling and serving is more difficult to deal with. Although the quality of the board is average, it is very fast and has a strong sense of attack. She cannot be conservative in the game against her, and must take the initiative.
It is worth mentioning that Yuan Jianan used to be a player of the provincial team. Later, she went out to play and represented the French team in competitions, realizing her dream of standing on the stage of the competition. There are many players with the same experience, such as Tian Zhixi , Han Ying , and Shan Xiaona, but Yuan Jianan has a stronger impact. Just in this year's Grand Slam, she also won Ito Mima , mainly because her opponent was not adapted to her serve.
At the beginning, Chen Meng was still slow to heat up. In the first game, Yuan Jianan scored 3 points in a row, Chen Meng tied to 4, and it was difficult to deal with high throwing and serving. Yuan Jianan led 8-5, and Chen Meng actively responded, but Yuan Jianan still took the lead with 11-7. The off-court guidance of the national table tennis team was Ma Lin . He also helped the disciples find ways to avoid following the opponent's rhythm through technical and tactical adjustments and withstand Yuan Jianan's top three board attacks.
Yuan Jianan still adopted the previous tactics in the second game. As long as Chen Meng's return ball is not of high quality, she will directly attack. By taking the initiative, she will use the advantage of speed to disrupt Chen Meng's rhythm. Chen Meng's mentality fluctuated, and she failed to score in her serve rounds, and was also a little anxious. Yuan Jianan led 8-7 and called a timeout. After returning, Chen Meng scored 3 points in a row to get the game first, winning the game back 13-11.
Next, Chen Meng regained her rhythm and gradually adapted to her opponent's high-splash serve. In the third game, Chen Meng led 7-4, scored 4 points in a row and scored 11-4 and won another game. In the fourth game, Chen Meng led 6-2. After the opponent fully adapted, Yuan Jianan's high-splash serve had no effect. Chen Meng ended the game 11-4, and finally reversed Yuan Jianan 3-1, advanced to the women's singles quarterfinals, and then played against Chen Xingtong and Yang Xiaoxin's winners.
