On January 28, Beijing time, the Japanese Table Tennis Championships played the men's and women's singles quarter-finals, breaking out a number of unpopular goals, and women's table tennis masters Miyu Hirano and Ishikawa Yoshijun were out. Male table tennis Zhang Benzhihe was also eliminated by Makoto Yoshimura. Japanese men's table tennis has fallen into the era of melee, and Japanese women's table tennis Ito Mimachi has shown strong momentum.
Zhang Benzhihe lost again, although he is currently ranked first among Japanese male table tennis players in the world rankings, but in domestic competitions, Zhang Benzhihe has also repeatedly broken the sand.
He lost to Makoto Yoshimura in the match, winning 11-9 in the first set, 8-11 in the second set, 8-11 in the third set, 12-10 in the fourth set, but 9-11 in the fifth set and 5-11 in the sixth.
Zhang Benzhihe lost helplessly, and Yoshimura fell to the ground to celebrate after winning. Yoshimura used to be known primarily for mixed doubles, but at the 2017 World Table Tennis Championships, Yoshimura and Ishikawa won the Mixed Doubles Championships.
At the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, Yoshimura and Ishikawa Jiajun lost to Xu Xin and Liu Shiwen to win the mixed doubles runner-up. However, Yoshimura's singles strength was inferior, failing to qualify for the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and missing out on the Mixed Doubles competition. This men's singles match defeated Zhang Benzhihe, Yoshimura is very excited, which is also a big cold shot.
Hirano's 4-1 loss to chipper Hitomi Sato was also somewhat unexpected, this game Hirano Miyu was very passive, losing three consecutive sets at the beginning, winning 11-4 in the fourth set, but then losing the fifth set.
Ishikawa Yoshijun was defeated by Miyu Kato 4-1, the former female table tennis sister is indeed in a state of decline more, can she still withstand the impact of the post-00s players in the Paris Olympic cycle?
Ito performed solidly, sweeping Theashiba Shibata 4-0, and this time in the Japanese championship, Ito was the number one favorite to win the women's singles. Ito and Hina Hayata also swept Hitomi Sato/Hashimoto 3-0 in the women's doubles match to reach the final four.
