The Japan Table Tennis Championships began on January 25, and since the big seeded players in singles started in the fourth round, the main Japanese players participated in the doubles and mixed doubles events in the previous competitions. Already famous in the world table tennis world, Japanese gemini stars Hitomi Sato and Hashimoto Fan Naoka once again collaborated in the women's doubles in this competition, facing youngsters Yoneda Saino / Haruna Usui in the first round, although the playing style was passive, but the rhythm of the whole game always occupied the initiative, and finally Hashimoto Fannaka / Hitomi Sato 3-0 (11-4/11-3/11-1) lightly took Yoneda Saino / Usui Haruna.
The style of play was once popular around the world in the 1950s and 1960s, and gradually fell out of date with the advent of arc balls. It is difficult for chippers to win singles medals in this century, and It has been 19 years since Zhu Shihe won the men's singles runner-up of the 2003 World Table Tennis Championships. At present, Japan's double sister Hitomi Sato, Hashimoto Fan Naika, South Korea's Xu Xiaoyuan, Poland's Li Qian, the Netherlands' Li Jie, Germany's Phyllis are considered to be world-class chippers, and the national table tennis chippers Liu Fei and Matt have not yet added suitable chippers as soon as possible after withdrawing from the national team.
Hitomi Sato / Hashimoto Noka have played together in the women's doubles competition of the Open many times in the last Olympic cycle, and have a good record of four, the two have a solid foundation in cutting the ball, and also have the tenacious style of Japanese players. In this Japanese league, Hashimoto was in better shape, and was named the MVP of the half-way league, and Hitomi Sato performed average. It is difficult for the duo to win the championship in the strong women's singles field, and there is still a glimmer of hope for the women's doubles medal this time.
Hashimoto Fan naoka / Hitomi Sato debuted in this Japan Championship opponent is less than 20 years old young player Yoneda Saino / Uoi Haruna, the young combination is often not passed against the opponent of the cut ball, the biggest flaw is due to the lack of young players in the strength of the forehand, resulting in pulling the ball can not die when pulling the opponent, in the multi-board tug-of-war easy to pull the ball in the end of the mistake, this game also appeared in this game, the first round of the young young Yoneda Saino / Usui Haruna at the beginning wanted to take the initiative to launch an attack, the rhythm as soon as possible to control, However, after a few rounds, it was the change in the rotation of hashimoto's /Hitomi Sato's slash that brought difficulties in judging the opponent, and as the game deepened more and more, it was only 1 point to play until the third innings of Yoneda Saino / Harui Usui, or rely on two veterans to cut the ball and send points by mistake, and finally Hitomi Sato / Hashimoto Noka scored easier than the first inning, falling 3 straight to sweep the second round.
Hitomi Sato and Hashimoto Fan Naika are still among the first-class in Japan at present, but if you want to qualify for international competitions, you need singles results to increase your persuasiveness, the current Japanese team Ito Mimachi, Ishikawa Yoshinori, Hayata Shina's position is the most stable, if Hitomi Sato, Hashimoto Fano ka can reach the final or win the championship in the women's singles field of the Japanese Championships, I believe that the World Table Tennis Championships or the Asian Games still have hope to go out, this difficulty is greater for the two, in addition to the three main players, Hirano Miyu, Nagasaki Miyu, Shibata Saji, A group of young players such as Miyu Kihara are on the rise, and if they want to break through a group of attackers to reach the women's singles final, they need their own technical online and also need some luck components, after all, the backward cutting style of play is not too competitive.
