At present, the national table tennis has also been eliminated by a main force, that is, Wang Yidi, who was defeated by Liu Shiwen, whose state has rebounded 3-1. As for the other world champions, they have not been upset, which shows that their strength is indeed superior, but then Wang Manyu will meet with Chen Xingtong, and there will be one person who will not qualify for the semi-finals, which is really fierce competition!
See below for details of the women's singles matchup and the quarterfinals matchup arrangements.
Sun Yingsha and He Zhuojia are the "anti-Japanese heroes" of national table tennis, the former stabilized Ito Mimachi in the Olympic Games, world table tennis championships and World Cup, and the latter also remained undefeated against Ito Mimachi, and it was also a 5-game winning streak. However, from the perspective of achievements, rankings and other aspects, Sun Yingsha is obviously stronger than He Zhuojia (horizontal backhand long glue attack), so He Zhuojia must fight with all his strength.
Sure enough, after the game began, He Zhuojia used the different characteristics of his two sides of rubber to create discomfort for Sun Yingsha, and then took the lead in getting the round point. At the critical moment, Sun Yingsha was not soft, and He Zhuojia seemed to be a little hesitant, and finally 11-13 was reversed, and it was a pity to lose.
In the second set, Sun Yingsha continued to insist on simplifying the game, avoiding fighting short balls and bucket rotations with He Zhuojia's granular glue on the near platform, but trying to suppress the opponent with a strong upward spiral ball or long ball confrontation, the effect was very good, and soon won 11-4 easily, and the big score 2-0 lead forced He Zhuojia into a desperate situation.
In the third set, He Zhuojia backwater battle, is bound to strengthen the threat of close to Taiwan fast attack, but the initiative has always been in the hands of the other side, and finally Sun Yingsha locked in the victory 11-6, and the big score swept He Zhuojia 3-0 to advance to the women's singles quarterfinals stage: congratulations to her!
As for the words of the other main players - Chen Meng fought hard for 5 sets, 3-2 to win against The Chinese Hong Kong team Du Kaixuan, almost beaten by the other side; Wang Manyu won 3-1 to win the 17-year-old rising star Ku man; Chen Xingtong easily swept the young player Qian Tianyi 3-0.
At present, only Wang Yidi was eliminated in the main layer of the women's team, she failed to play the advantages of young people in the confrontation with veteran Liu Shiwen, the big score was 1-3 lost, and two of the innings were reversed by the big reversal in the case of multiple innings in their own hands, losing a bit of a pity, which shows that the veteran still has a great advantage in the control of the game.
For the rest of the non-main players, Zhang Rui (mimemori Ito imitator in the team) won 3-1 to chipper Liu Fei, and Wang Xiaotong and Liu Weishan did not drop the chain in the foreign war, eliminating Li Qian (Poland) and Li Jie (Netherlands) with scores of 3-2 and 3-0 respectively.
In the next quarterfinals, Wang Manyu vs Chen Xingtong undoubtedly attracted the most attention - judging from the recent confrontation between the two sides, Chen Xingtong was at a disadvantage and needed to do his best to win the vitality. As for the other three duels, Chen Meng vs. Zhang Rui, Liu Shiwen vs. Wang Xiaotong, Sun Yingsha vs. Liu Weishan: the main players have a relatively large advantage, and it is difficult for non-main players to be upset.
So who can keep going to reach the semi-finals? The answer will be revealed soon, so let's wait and see: Come on, guys!
