WTT Macau Championship has entered the penultimate day. All semi-finals will be decided today. Four Chinese table tennis players will play in the foreign association for women's singles competition. Looking forward to winning the semi-finals again, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha will make their debut in the evening.
The national table tennis team won relatively smoothly in the two games during the day. Chen Xingtong 4-1 Han Ying, with the scores of 11-6, 13-15, 11-6, 12-10, 11-8 in the five-game. I wonder if anyone has counted whether the second game of the two players is the longest first game in WTT history. Chen Xingtong was not defeated by cutting the ball again.
Kuaiman defeated Datunisa Satsuki 4-1, with scores of 11-7, 9-11, 11-2, 11-7, 11-9 in the five games, and sent away the last Japanese player. Look forward to the blooming of Kuaiman's game! She needs a champion with great value to prove herself, and this is a good opportunity.
The two games in the evening were not very suspense compared to the match between Sun Yingsha and Diaz. The match between Wang Manyu and Zhu Yuling seemed to have attracted more attention from fans. The suspense of this game was still very high. Although Wang Manyu had the upper hand, he was not sure.
The two players have fought twice in this cycle, Wang Manyu won 1 win and 1 loss. Last year's Macau Championship Wang Manyu swept Zhu Yuling 3-0. This year's American Grand Slam Zhu Yuling defeated Wang Manyu 3-1. The overall record of both sides Wang Manyu has the advantage of 5 wins and 4 losses, but it is not obvious.
In fact, it is difficult for us to make a judgment on this game based on the historical record of the two, because most of the two players are not at the peak at the same time. For example, last year's Macau Championship. Zhu Yuling has just made a comeback. Wang Manyu is in a bad state for this year's American Grand Slam.
However, it is undeniable that Wang Manyu is not easy to fight against Zhu Yuling. This kind of difficult fight is mainly reflected in both technical and tactical characteristics and mentality. On the technical and tactical level, Zhu Yuling held a shot with her right hand and had both sides of her back. She had rich experience in the competition and could control the rhythm of the competition with accurate prediction and reasonable position. Her defense system is tight, her forehand rushes fiercely, and her backhand quickly tear her an angle is large.
Wang Manyu is tall and long, and has fierce playing styles, and has comprehensive control in the near-trend. The mid-to-stadium has tricky pulling lines, strong firepower, and is full of domineering playing. In fact, Wang Manyu's playing style is the most advanced among female players, but stability is a big problem, so her lower limit has always been inferior to Sun Yingsha.
Wang Manyu's style has not changed, but Zhu Yuling's style is changing. Zhu Yuling's current style is not as domineering as her peak, but she has more experience. Now she can play fast balls and slow balls, can stick to her opponents, and is good at controlling the rhythm. She defeated Wang Manyu once in her life because she dragged the rhythm down.
The reason why Zhu Yuling has returned to the front-line level is because her strength has recovered a lot after training. This is the foundation of her progress. In terms of strength, Zhu Yuling is actually not very afraid of Wang Manyu, which is one of the reasons why Wang Manyu is difficult to fight.
The other is mentality. Zhu Yuling now has no idea about Grand Slams in her mind. She is now enjoying table tennis, striving to win and taking advantage of the outcome, so she can play her 100% level.
But Manyu is different. She is the main force of the national table tennis team. She wants to play in the Olympics and strive for the Grand Slam. When these things are added to Wang Manyu's shoulders, it is difficult for her to exert 100% of her strength because she wants to win too much, so this is Wang Manyu's biggest disadvantage against Zhu Yuling.
