Chapter 239

Following the mixed doubles victory came the women's singles final, featuring a showdown between Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng. In previous seasons, Chen Meng had generally held a slight edge. However, since the Tokyo Olympics and her victory over Chen Meng at the 2022 WTT World Cup in Xinxiang, Sun Yingsha had grown vastly more confident. Throughout the Paris Olympic cycle, the two had met seven times, with Shasha winning six and dropping only a single match at the 2023 WTT Champions Macau. Chen Meng no longer had many effective ways to contain Sun Yingsha. In fact, after changing her racket and attempting technical adjustments, her results had failed to see any major breakthroughs, leading her to switch back to her original VIS blade following her defeat at Durban in 2023.
