Sun Yingsha (simplified Chinese: 孙颖莎; traditional Chinese: 孫穎莎; pinyin: Sūn Yǐngshā; born 4 November 2000) is a Chinese professional table tennis player.[1] She is the current world No. 1 in women's singles.[3][4]
In September 2015, Sun entered the second national table tennis team of China. She entered the national first team in January 2017.
Career
[edit]2019
[edit]In the 2019 World Team Cup, Sun came back from down 10–7 in the deciding fifth game to defeat Mima Ito in the finals against Japan. In an interview in 2021, Sun referred to this match as her precious match.[5]
2021
[edit]Sun started out 2021 as number two in the world rankings.[6] However, after China's decision to withdraw from all international events until the Tokyo Olympics,[7] Mima Ito passed Sun for the number two position in the world rankings.[8] In April, ITTF amended the seeding system for the Olympics such that she would be seeded above Mima Ito.[9]
2023
[edit]On October 1, in the women's singles final of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Sun defeated Japan's Hina Hayata 4-1 to win gold. This was also Sun's third gold medal after winning both team and mixed doubles. This marked China's seventh consecutive championship in the women's singles competition at the Asian Games.[10]
