Continuing to share my views, I came across an article with pictures where current Japanese table tennis player Ping Ye Meiyu stated that in terms of technique, only Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu have reached a level in women's table tennis that is beyond reach for others. Here are my thoughts on this statement.
I believe their table tennis skills are about the same, but mentally, Sasha is more stable. I think Sasha is like Zhuge Liang, smart in playing, a strategist who remains calm even when the mountains crumble before him; while Manyu is like Zhao Zilong, a general with a variety of martial arts skills. It's not surprising that in competitions between top players, whoever performs better on the spot wins. The key is that Sun Yingsha is indeed superior in skill, and past results also show that compared to Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha always wins more than she loses, which is a fact.
In the past, when I watched the Macau World Cup, I felt a bit sorry for Wang Manyu. However, after watching yesterday's match, I believe that Sun Yingsha is undoubtedly the world's number one! She is the best iron-blooded singles player, without a doubt! In today's women's table tennis arena, the top-level competition between forehand and backhand skills comes down to on-site performance, seeing who has stronger endurance and willpower to fight until the end.
Wang Manyu has a higher win rate against Chen Meng, who has good psychological quality and can compete with Sun Yingsha. I am a fan of Sun Yingsha. But I think Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, and Wang Manyu are all top-notch players today. However, I believe Sun Yingsha is the strongest, with fierce and fast first three shots. Chen Meng has strong perseverance and tenacity, able to compete with Sun Yingsha. Wang Manyu's backhand is weaker, and her psychological quality fluctuates greatly. After Chen Meng retires, coaching resources may lean towards Wang Manyu, which could improve the situation. Sasha's backhand has improved significantly from last year. She should really try Chen Meng's approach of making big-angle adjustments; both Wang Yidi and He Zhuojia have learned this technique, and this time He Zhuojia almost upset Sun Yingsha.
Manyu is a general in the team, while Sasha is a strategist, determined by comprehensive abilities, including emotional intelligence, IQ, charisma, influence, communication skills, organizational skills, of course, results are very important, athletes rely on their youth, and those with strong comprehensive abilities will have a broader future. Wishing them all the best!
