The Japanese Table Tennis Championships continued, although Miyu Hirano, Tomoru Zhang, and Yoshijun Ishikawa were all out of the game early, and Miyu Hirano also announced the latest news of her infection with the new crown through her personal social media account. However, the game did not end because of this, and the final four in the women's singles event have all been produced, and the four players who have advanced to the women's singles final four are: Ito Mimako, Hayata Shina, Kato Mimachi and Kihara Miyu, while the four teammates they defeated are Hikaru Kimura, Miyu Nagasaki, Sazuki Ohto and Hitomi Sato. Judging from the course of the game and the rhythm of the entire promotion, it is still Ito Anda and Hayata Whoa who are more effective and play more steadily, while Mimako Kato and Miyu Kihara can win in front of their teammates, in addition to their personal ability and on-the-spot play, but also because both of them play more tenaciously and eventually achieve a difficult victory.
First of all, let's take a look at Ito Yoshimachi. Although Ito lost her singles title in domestic competitions last season, this must have hit her a lot. However, under the premise that Ito Mimachi really plays her ideal state, there are still few people in Japan who can really pose a threat to her. At the championship, Ito Directly announced that under the premise that Mizutani Hayabusa has retired and she has won the Olympic mixed doubles championship with him, she will no longer participate in the mixed doubles event in the future, and will focus all her energy on the women's singles and women's doubles events. In the women's singles of this national championship, ito Mimachi also has a better promotion initiative by virtue of her own ranking. She faced the challenge of Kimura Hikaru and was relatively easy to eliminate with a 4-1 aggregate score, with five innings: 11-9, 11-7, 11-6, 4-11 and 11-5. In general, Ito Mimachi had the upper hand in terms of serving, the first three boards, or the stalemate, but after winning three consecutive sets, he relaxed slightly in the fourth set, and Kimura Mitsubu also fully entered a state of letting go in the fourth set, and was able to pull back Ichijo. However, in the fifth set, Ito found the rhythm of the game and eventually eliminated his opponent by a score of 4-1 to get a place in the final four.
In the same situation, Hina Hayata, another star of hope in Japanese women's table tennis, also won 4-1 (11-7, 5-11, 11-3, 11-6 and 13-11) when facing the challenge of Miyu Nagasaki. For Hina Hayata and Mimako Ito, advancing to the final four is also their basic goal, and the real idea of both of them is to achieve the final championship. Compared to the easy victory of these two world-renowned players, the promotion process of Mimako Kato and Miyu Kihara is somewhat difficult. Among them, although Kato Miyu defeated Oto Sazuki 4-2, but after six games, the scoring comparison between the two sides was 59-56, and Kato Miyu only won Ōto Sazuki by 3 points, which shows that she can fight for a victory in front of her opponent and occupy a top four place, which is already a relatively perfect result. Similarly, As a young player under the age of 17, Miyu Kihara can reverse hitomi Sato in the case of 0-3 behind, which is also worthy of praise, and the young player also proves with his resilience that he can not only make a breakthrough in the doubles field, but also have a good prospect on the singles field. The scores were 13-15, 8-11, 8-11, 13-11, 11-9, 13-11 and 11-6.
Two women's singles finalists plus two young potential rising stars at the Japan Table Tennis Championships. In the next competition, who will win the semi-finals and who will become the final champion? Friends are welcome to make predictions, and let's take a look at how accurate our predictions are. How the remaining players will be the main competitors of the national table tennis women's team in the world in the future, and we look forward to watching the two semi-finals and the final finals together.
