On January 30, the 2022 All Japan Table Tennis Championships officially came to an end, and the results of the five events were as follows: men's singles Hayasuke Toyo, women's singles Ito Mimachi, mixed doubles Tomokazu Zhang Benhe/Hayata Hina, men's doubles Yukiya Uda/Toue Hayashi, women's doubles Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina, of which only Toue Hayabusa and Ito Mimachi achieved the double crown.
The women's singles final was played against Ito Mimachi and Hina Hayata, of which Ito's semi-final opponent Miyu Kihara withdrew due to a high fever of 38 degrees, so Ito "waded" into the final. Previously, Hirano Miyu was also tested positive for the new crown, and it is not known whether any others have been infected.
Hina Hayata experienced a vicious battle, and in the end she won three consecutive sets to reverse Miyu Kato in the case of a big score of 1:3, including the sixth set to 18:16, I have to say that Hayata Hina is still quite resilient.
In the 2020 All Nippon Nishiki Women's Singles Semifinals, Ito mimachi and Hina Hayata met, and in the end, Ito Mimachi lost 3:4 and missed the championship. In terms of overall strength, Ito Isho is definitely still stronger than Hayata Hina, but Hayata Hina can often play beyond the norm and play amazing results, so it is entirely possible to win Ito.
This year, the two met in the final, and finally Ito Mimachi defeated Hina Hayata 4:1, and the score of five sets was 11:5, 11:9, 11:5, 8:11, 11:6, and overall it was quite easy.
Ito rarely participates in domestic competitions, but she still participates in the championships, and the goal of each competition is to win the championship, but in the past two years, she has not been able to achieve her wishes, and she is out of the semi-finals in 2020, and lost to Yoshijun Ishikawa in the final in 2021. This time, Ishikawa Yoshinori was out early, and successfully avenged Hayata Hina, and Ito Mimakoto also got his wish, winning the women's singles championship again after three years.
With Ito's victory, Japanese table tennis is also a "waste" of a direct quota for the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships: individual medals won at the Tokyo Olympics and houston World Table Tennis Championships, and singles champions at the 2022 National Championships can be directly qualified, and the remaining places will be selected in the first Paris Olympic Trials in March this year.
Hayasuke, a men's singles player, won a straight-through chance, sweeping Takashi Niwa 4:0 (11:7, 11:4, 11:4, 11:9, 11:5) in the semi-finals, and defeating Kenta Matsudaira 4:2 in the final, with six innings of 11:9, 10:12, 11:7, 8:11, 11:6, 11:6. At present, only Hayabusa Toue and Mimachi Ito have passed in advance, and the remaining athletes have to work hard.
