On the evening of December 4, Beijing time, in the first round of the 2021 Singapore WTT World Cup final women's singles, the host Singapore veteran Feng Tianwei appeared, and her opponent in this round is Tian Zhixi, the first sister of South Korean women's table tennis.
After the start of the game, Feng Tianwei's backhand attack, which did not have the upper hand, frequently tore the angle and started with a 3:1 lead, but Tian Zhixi quickly tied the score through backhand holding. After the middle game, Tian Zhixi made more mistakes in the third board and received the ball, and Feng Tianwei took advantage of the situation to take a 9:5 lead. As Tian Zhixi struck a half ball and sent it into the net, Feng Tianwei won the first set 11:6.
In the second set, Feng Tianwei shot more freely on the first three boards, with a short and long twist when receiving the serve, and the rotation of the serve was also confusing, and she led 6:3 from the beginning of the game. In the second half of the set, Tian Zhixi increased the proportion of the backhand slash and took the initiative to take away Feng Tianwei's position. The overall offensive quality of Feng Tianwei's movement dropped significantly, and Tian Zhixi once chased the score to 7:8. After that, Feng Tianwei requested a timeout and successfully blocked Tian Zhixi's scoring momentum to win another set at 11:8.
Despite the decline in physical fitness due to age, Feng Tianwei's movement speed decreased slightly in the third set, but the offensive line was still quite sophisticated and flexible. After frequently suppressing the middle position of Tian Zhixi's backhand, she suddenly mutated the forehand, making Tian Zhixi difficult to overcome and leading 4:1. However, after that, the situation on the field suddenly changed, and Tian Zhixi, who let go of the game, attacked quite sharply with his backhand, gradually overtaking the score, and finally won a set back 11:8.
Feng Tianwei took the lead again at the beginning of the fourth set, and after taking a 5-1 lead, Feng Tianwei did not miss another opportunity, she firmly grasped the rhythm of the game and locked in the victory of the whole game with an 11:5 disparity. In the next round of women's singles quarterfinals, Feng Tianwei will play against Chen Meng, the main force of Chinese women's table tennis.
