On January 27, 2022, Beijing time, the Japanese Table Tennis Championships continued, and Ito made her New Year debut, partnering Hina Hayata, to win the women's doubles first victory 3-1. At the same time, the mixed doubles championship was released, and Zhang Benzhi and Hayata Shina won the mixed doubles gold medal of the Japanese Championships for the first time. Zhang Benzhihe's younger sister, Zhang Benmei, who is only 13 years old, suffered a defeat in the battle, and the mixed doubles and women's doubles all collapsed out.
This year's Japan Championship, all the main players in the first line participated, and there were many stars of hope who also got the opportunity to participate, so it can be said that the competition is very fierce. This is also a good opportunity for the national table tennis to find out the state of the opponent, especially Ito Mimakoto has remained mysterious, which is worth the attention of the national table tennis. It wasn't until this matchday that Ito made her debut, partnering Hina Hayata, to win the women's doubles first 3-1.
The competition in the women's doubles is fierce, except for Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina, Nagasaki Miyu / Kihara Miyu defeating Natsushi Akae / Akira Kamizawa 3-1, Yoshinori Ishikawa / Miyu Hirano eliminating Mae Taki Hatsune / Yukai Yoshida 3-0, Shibata Sazuki / Sazuki Ohto 3-1 to goto Natsumi / Ushigashi Hoshira, the above women's doubles pairs are all favorites to win the championship, it can be said that the state is quite good.
The mixed doubles gold medal was decided on this match day, and the last laugh was Zhang Benzhi and /Hayata Xina, which is also a mixed doubles combination focused on by the Japan Table Tennis Association. In the semi-finals, Tomokazu Jang/Hina Hayata eliminated Yukiya Utada/Miyu Kihara 3-1, and in the final, Tomokazu Jang/Hina Hayata defeated Masaharu Yoshimura/Riki Suzuki 3-1 to win the mixed doubles gold medal at the Japan Championships for the first time.
Zhang Benzhihe not only won the mixed doubles gold medal, but the men's doubles partner Masataka Morien defeated Yoshida Kaidou/Yoshida Shengdou 3-1 to advance to the next round. There was also a focus battle in the fourth round of men's doubles, with Yukiya Utada / Hayabusa Tokami eliminating 3-1 and Mizuki Kawakawa / Asuka. Zhang Benzhihe was in good shape, but his sister Zhang Benmeihe lost the battle in a row, and the two-line collapse was out.
In the mixed doubles semifinals, Tian Tian Kenta/ Zhang Benmei lost 2-3 to Makoto Yoshimura/ Li Jia Suzuki, and Tian Tim Kenta / Zhang Benmei took the lead twice, but was dragged into the decider by the opponent and lost in the final moment. In the women's doubles, Akira Motomi/Yusai Koshi lost 2-3 to Kurono Aoi/Saiki Nakajima, and Akira aki was once again in the decider. For a 13-year-old star of hope, it is really rare to participate in such a competition, to accumulate experience in the game, and it is not so important to win or lose.
However, it is very regrettable that Zhang Benmeihe lost the mixed doubles semi-final and failed to stage a direct dialogue with his brother. Next, the brothers and sisters will also participate in singles competitions and strive to achieve good results. Overall, Japan has emerged a lot of stars of hope, young can participate in high-level competitions, this is indeed a good opportunity to accumulate experience, but even eating defeat will also hit self-confidence, may not be conducive to future development, in this regard, national table tennis and Japan to take a different way of development, from the effect point of view, national table tennis is of course better.
