Female Singles Top 8
State of the men's singles top 8
The national table tennis women's singles sent six people to participate in the competition. In the first round of 1/16 finals, all players advanced to the top 16 without any suspense. Wang Manyu advanced directly because his opponent Zheng Yijing withdrew from the competition.
As the intensity of the 1/8 finals increases, the national table tennis women's singles faces challenges. Among them, Wang Yidi was the most unfortunate to be eliminated. He fought with Diaz for five games and missed the quarterfinals. However, it must be admitted that Wang Yidi's condition this year is indeed too poor, and she was eliminated in many competitions one after another. If this continues, she will not only fall out of the main team of the national table tennis team, but may even miss the qualifications for more competitions.
The other player was eliminated was young player Chen Yi. She faced German veteran chopping player Han Ying and lost 1-3. It is not considered an out of the game. Although she has performed some highlights this year, her overall strength is insufficient. It is obvious that she has insufficient adaptation to special play styles and has shortcomings in solving problems on the spot. She still needs more competition training.
Fortunately, the national table tennis team still has the advantage of the group. Chen Xingtong's game against Du Kaiyan was a one-sided crush. Even though Du Kaifeng tried his best to fight back, it was useless in front of Chen Xingtong who was full of form. Chen Xingtong scored three straight games 11-8, 11-7 and 11-3. Indeed, no matter whether it is technology or mentality, they completely suppressed Du Kaiqian and had no chance to fight back.
Wang Manyu and Hayata Shina are in another classic duel. Shina Hayata has tried all her best in this game and has achieved her best condition in the near future, but even so, she still lost in front of Wang Manyu. Wang Manyu fell behind twice, tied tenaciously twice, and finally reached the quarterfinals 3-2.
It is worth mentioning that after this game, Wang Manyu's record against Hayata Shina was rewritten to win all four games, and he even won 30 consecutive victories against the Japanese women's table tennis players, and remained unbeaten in the past six years! Wang Manyu is an insurmountable mountain for Japanese women's table tennis. Whether it is Ito Mima in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Hayata Hina in the Paris Olympic cycle, or Mika Kazumoto, who is now in the limelight, they can only fail when facing Wang Manyu. Wang Manyu proved his title of Japanese nemesis with one victory after another, and never lost track in foreign wars.
The showdown between Kuai Man and Ito Mima reflects the suppression of the Japanese core by the new generation of Chinese table tennis teams. As the core of the Japanese women's table tennis team, Ito Mima shouted the goal of reaching the quarterfinals before the game and also showed off her killer weapon of backhanded rubber during the game, but it didn't work in front of Kuaiman, who was in a period of rapid growth. Kuaiman advanced 11-5, 8-11, 11-7, and 11-4. From serving to line mobilization, he showed maturity far beyond his peers with his skills and mentality, and did not give Ito Mima a chance to breathe.
The last game between Sun Yingsha and Szokos was a little twisted and down, but she still took the initiative in the whole process. In order to win, Szokos made tactical adjustments to Sun Yingsha's middle position. He relied on a tenacious counterattack in the second game to win back, but even if he fought for this, he would be unable to change the defeat in front of Sun Yingsha who was in a stable state. Sun Yingsha won the game with four games 11-5, 9-11, 11-7, and 11-9. Regardless of suppression, stability of stalemate, or control of key points, they suppressed Szokos completely, making the opponent's counterattack never make a big wave
At this point, all the women's singles quarterfinals were produced, namely Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong, Sun Yingsha, Kuaiman, Zhu Yuling from Macau, Japan's Dateng Sayue, Han Ying from Germany and Diaz from Puerto Rico. The matchup situation in the quarter-finals was also released
