In the women's team final of the 2024 Table Tennis Super League, Shenzhen University faced off against Shandong Luneng in a fierce battle that lasted for five sets. Ultimately, Shenzhen University suffered a narrow defeat with a score of 2-3, settling for the silver medal. In this match, Sun Yingsha represented Shenzhen University in two games and emerged victorious in both.
During the first set, Sun Yingsha struggled initially against Wang Manyu, who won the first two games. However, Sun Yingsha managed to turn the tide by winning three consecutive games from a 0-2 deficit, securing a 3-2 victory and earning a crucial point for Shenzhen University.
In the fourth set, Sun Yingsha faced Qian Tianyi in another five-set match. After leading 1-0, she lost two consecutive games but staged an incredible comeback, defeating Qian Tianyi with a 3-2 scoreline and pushing the match into the decisive fifth set.
Notably, during the third game of the fourth set, there was a controversial moment involving a disputed edge ball. Sun Yingsha signaled to the referee that the ball had touched the edge and claimed to have heard a sound, requesting a video replay. Qian Tianyi, on the other hand, insisted that the ball did not touch the edge.
Surprisingly, Sun Yingsha's reasonable request was rejected by the referee, who even rolled their eyes at her! The referee did not accept Sun Yingsha's suggestion and did not review the video, awarding the point to Qian Tianyi. This decision left many fans puzzled, as they felt that since a controversial shot occurred on the court, it is normal for the athlete to request a replay. What does it mean for the referee to refuse a replay and roll their eyes?
