Chen Meng beaten by Bernie last year at the Macao Champions then Elisabeta Samara yesterday at the Grand Smash.
Wang Manyu beaten by Jianan Yuan at the Macao Champions, the WTT's HQ !
Those 3 defeats were in the decider, the 2nd and 3rd world best players beaten by womens ranked in the top 20-25 ranks; I mean... they've not been defeated by the japanese team. And those were not lower ranking tournaments, it's at the top of the list in the WTT ranking regulations !
The Wang Manyu defeat was VS a supposed to be young and inexperimented coach. Chen Meng had a face that was showing A LOT of her desperation in the decider time out.
Plus: all those defeats were versus women aged around 30, 32.6 years old on average, chinese women rarely plays that long in the CNT, they are put to retirement before ! the thing is: women in general get mentally stronger in their 30+, as they're also more experienced, Elisabeta Samara for instance has played for Romania, the best women's team in Europe with Germany, in the 2008, 2012, 2016 and 2020 Olympics !
Is Ma Lin becoming a burden for the CNT ?
