The Japan National Championships are in full swing, and compared with the national table tennis, Japan's team competition is not worse than the national table tennis. In yesterday's men's and women's singles quarterfinals, the three main Olympic players were out, Ishikawa Yoshijun lost 1-4 to Miyu Kato, Miyu Hirano lost 1-4 to hit hitomi Sato, and Zhang Benzhi lost 2-4 to Makoto Yoshimura. This estimate is that many fans will be surprised, this is the main player who participated in the Olympic Games, ah, actually did not qualify for the quarterfinals. It can be seen that Japan's competition is more fierce than national table tennis.
Yoshijun Ishikawa was the women's singles champion at last year's championship, but this time she lost early to youngster Miyu Kato. In fact, Kato Miyu's strength is also good, losing 1-4 to Liu Shiwen in the 1/4 of the 2019 World Championships, but the Singapore T2 Diamond League has defeated Ito Mimako and Chen Meng. However, she did not maintain this advantage during the Tokyo Olympics, and it was Ishikawa Yoshijun and Hirano Miyu who qualified for the Olympic Games.
Hirano Miyu was defeated by chipper Hitomi Sato. Hitomi Sato has improved rapidly in the past two years, and she has won two victories over Ding Ning to attract the attention of fans. In addition, in the men's singles, Zhang Benzhi and the loss to veteran Yoshimura Makoto also missed the quarterfinals.
Today's women's singles final four were produced, with Mimako Ito, Hina Hayata, Miyu Kato and Miyu Kihara advancing. Specifically, Ito Mimachi 4-1 Kimura Hikaru, scored 11-9/11-7/11-6/4-11/11-5, Hina Hayata 4-1 Nagasaki Mizu, 11-7/5-11/11/11-3/11-6/13-11, Miyu Kato 4-2 Sazuki Oto, 7-11/11-6/11-7/11-9/5-11/14-12, Miyo Kihara 4-3 Hitomi Sato, 13-15/8-11/8-11/13-11/11-9/13-11/11-6 。
It can be seen that Ito Mimachi and Hayata Shina are very strong, because today they also won the women's doubles championship, achieving the women's doubles four consecutive championships, Andi Hirano Miyu and Ishikawa Yoshijun, who can pose a threat to their women's doubles, also withdrew from the competition because of Hirano Miyu's positive nucleic acid test and new crown infection, and Ishikawa Yoshinori was also isolated because of close contact with Hirano Miyu.
Tomorrow, January 30, the Japan Table Tennis Championships will feature a men's and women's singles semi-final and final.
Men's Singles Semifinals: Kenta Matsudaira vs Makoto Yoshimura, Takaki Niwa vs Hayabusa Tokami
。
Women's Singles Semifinals: Miyu Kato vs Hina Hayata, Mimachi Ito vs Miyu Kihara. It should be noted that Zhang Benzhi and Masashi Morien lost 2-3 to Yukiya Una and Hayasuke Tokami in the men's doubles final, and they did not win the men's doubles championship, it seems that Zhang Benzhi and Ishikawa Yoshizu Hirano Miyu are very sorry and did not win a championship.
This shows that the competition in table tennis in Japan is also fierce, and who do you think will win the men's singles and women's singles championships tomorrow? See!
