In the highly anticipated final of the Ping Pong Super League, Shenzhen University faced off against Shandong Luneng in an intense match. Despite a slight drop in strength due to Chen Meng's absence, Shenzhen University still managed to advance to the finals with their tenacious fighting spirit and excellent performance, ready to compete against Shandong Luneng led by Wang Manyu.
At the start of the game, the combination of Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi gave Shandong Luneng an early lead by easily defeating Shenzhen University's pair, securing an auspicious start for their team. However, Shenzhen University did not lose heart. Sun Yingsha demonstrated her formidable power in the subsequent singles match. Although she was once trailing at 0:2, she fought back persistently with her indomitable spirit, eventually leveling the score.
In the third set, Chen Xingtong once again contributed to Shandong Luneng's victory. She withstood the fierce onslaught from Shenzhen University's young player Kuai Man, adding another point to the team's tally. At this point, the pressure shifted to Shenzhen University, but Sun Yingsha stepped up once more. After being pushed to the brink by Qian Tianyi, she staged another remarkable comeback, bringing the score to a tie at 2:2.
In the decisive set, Wang Manyu faced off against Hong Kong's young player Tan Yuexuan. As the core player of Shandong Luneng, Wang Manyu displayed her prowess from the outset, easily winning the first game. However, just as the fans thought Wang Manyu would secure an easy victory, the match took an unexpected turn. In the second game, a dispute over the ownership of a controversial shot led to a prolonged argument. Wang Manyu believed that Tan Yuexuan had already made a double bounce before returning the ball, so she proactively signaled that she had scored. However, Tan Yuexuan did not agree with this judgment and insisted on continuing the rally. This controversy caused a 6-7 minute interruption in the game, and ultimately, the referee decided to replay the point.
This controversial moment had a significant impact on Wang Manyu's mentality. In the ensuing games, she appeared somewhat agitated and uneasy, which directly affected her performance. Despite leading 10:6 and obtaining a game point in the fifth game, Tan Yuexuan did not give up. She continuously chased points, exerting considerable pressure on Wang Manyu. In a critical moment, Tan Yuexuan made a mistake, allowing Wang Manyu to clinch the game 11:7, thereby helping Shandong Luneng narrowly defeat Shenzhen University and win the Ping Pong Super League championship.
Looking back on the entire match, although Wang Manyu managed to withstand the pressure in the crucial moments, her emotional fluctuations during the controversy also exposed her current issues and weaknesses. In future competitions, she needs to better control her emotions, maintain a calm and stable mindset, so that she can remain invincible in the fierce competition. At the same time, this final once again proved the charm and uncertainty of table tennis matches, where any team has the potential to create miracles in the game.
