On September 10, Beijing time, the WTT Macau Championship ended its second match day of the women's singles 1/16 final. So far, the women's singles top 16 have locked 13 seats, and three women's singles 1/16 finals will be held on September 11.
Of the 13 people who have advanced, the Chinese table tennis team occupies 5 seats, namely Wang Yidi, Wang Manyu, Kuai Man, Chen Xingtong and Sun Yingsha (and Chen Yi has not yet appeared, and Chen Yiruo will win and advance in the future), all 4 Japanese women's singles players passed the test, including Mima Ito, Satsuki Otori, Shina Hayata, and Mika Kane. Zhu Yuling, Takahashi Bruna, Szokos and Diaz also successfully advanced.
From the current situation, the main opponent of the Chinese table tennis team is still the Japanese team, but other strong players from other foreign associations should not be underestimated. The detailed battle situation is as follows:
In the women's singles matchup on the second day of the match, all four players played in the Chinese table tennis team won, continuing the strong momentum. Sun Yingsha, the world's number one player, fought against Welsh teenager Anna Hesey, and Sun Yingsha easily won the first game 11-7. However, Hessey changed his strategy in the second game, scored a key score at the end of the game, and won the game 12-10.
In the third game, Sun Yingsha completely suppressed it. After getting the game point 10-2, she won 11-3, leading 2-1 with a big score. In the fourth game, Hesey fought back against Sun Yingsha, but Sun Yingsha was in good shape, winning the fourth game 11-4, defeating Hesey 3-1 in total, and advancing to the next round.
Kuai Man faced the famous Korean player Zhu Qianxi. After Kuai Man lost 6-11 in the first game, he also adjusted his playing style in time, strengthened his forehand attack, and won three consecutive games 11-8, 11-6, and 11-7, reversing and advancing 3-1.
The match between Chen Xingtong and American player Zhang An was no surprise. Chen Xingtong scored 11-1 in the first game, destroying his opponent's mentality. In the following two games, Chen Xingtong won 11-4 and 11-5 respectively, swept 3-0 to advance, and only allowed his opponent to score 10 points in the whole game.
In addition, Wang Manyu was originally scheduled to be against Chinese Taipei player Zheng Yijing withdrew before the game, and Wang Manyu won without a fight, securing a promotional seat for the national table tennis team.
In terms of external associations, all four Japanese women's singles passed the test. Ito Mima swept Australian player Liu Yangzi 3-0.
Sina Hayata easily defeated Chinese Taipei player Huang Yihua 3-0. Zhang Benmeihe also eliminated Romanian world runner-up Samara 3-0
Datou Shayue went through hard battles in five games, reversing South Korea's No. 1 Shen Yubin 3-2, withstood the pressure in the critical decisive game and won the game.
The other foreign players who have advanced include: German player Shan Xiaona defeated Indian player Batra 3-1.
Romanian European champion Szokos defeated Egyptian star Gundam 3-1.
Bruna Takahashi defeated French star Yuan Jianan 3-1.
Puerto Rican star Diaz reversed Austria's European champion Polkanova 3-2.
As the 13 women's singles top 16 places are confirmed, some focus matches in the 1/8 finals have also been released, and the national table tennis women's singles will usher in many tough battles. Among them, the showdown between Wang Manyu and Hayata Shina is the most critical. Wang Manyu has maintained a complete victory against Japanese players in the past two years. Whether facing Shina Hayata or Mikazu Kazumoto, he has never fallen into the fight against Japan. This kind of suppression on Japan is an important guarantee for the national table tennis team to win the championship. However, although Wang Manyu can get an extra day of rest, he does not have the opportunity to find the feel and adjust the state through the game. He must avoid the slow-heating problem when playing against Shina Hayata. This result also directly determines the direction of promotion in the second half of the zone.
Another focus battle was Kuaiman blocking Ito Mima. The two have played against each other many times in the Asian Cup and WTT. Although Kuaiman won, she could only decide the outcome until the final game and never had an absolute advantage. For Kuaiman, this game has a great test. Ito Mima's special playing style, experience in the competition and ability to score key points are excellent. Kuaiman must give full play to his advantages more firmly. Successfully blocking Ito Mima is a huge improvement in her ability
In addition, Sun Yingsha played against Romanian player Szokos in the 1/8 final. Szokos' board quality was of high quality, which also caused trouble for Sun Yingsha. Chen Xingtong faces Brazilian player Bruna, and Wang Yidi plays Puerto Rican star Diaz.
I hope that the national table tennis team can perform normally in the subsequent competitions, achieve ideal results, and defend the glory of the national table tennis team! What do you think about this?
