WTT Grand Slam Singapore will start in March, from the national table tennis registration list, following the Macau stage to play the heroic, we see the name of 30-year-old veteran Liu Shiwen. So how does she go from a substitute to a main force, and if she meets Ito Mimachi, Xiao Juju can get revenge perfectly, right? Let's explore this topic:
Zhu Yuling withdrew due to illness, Liu Shiwen switched from "waiting" to participate in the main competition, and the difficulty of the Singapore leg was higher than that of the Macau race.
Indeed, Liu Shiwen is actually not in the Singapore competition list, the WTT Grand Slam rule is to invite the top 16 players, Liu Shiwen is exactly in the 17th place. However, Zhu Yuling, who ranked 16th, was still unable to play due to illness, and Xiao Zao was lucky to be transferred from an alternate to an official competition.
1. Macau highlight play, Singapore station will attract the attention of teammates. No one expected that the 30-year-old Liu Shiwen could reach the women's singles final at WTT Macau and defeat Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha in succession. Xiao Juju's ability to perform so brightly depends on two factors: first, Liu Shiwen's truce after the National Games gives her time to fully recover from injuries and physical fitness; before and after the entire Tokyo Olympic Games, Liu Shiwen did not reach her best state. During the Olympic simulation competition, Liu Shiwen only defeated Gu Yuting and some second-team young players in the women's singles group, did not meet with Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, the main players, and did not play against Liu Shiwen, who was in the period of injury, for a long time, and everyone did not regard her as the main opponent;
Sha Sha and Wang Yidi Macau must have taken the impact of Chen Meng and Wang Manyu as the goal, but they were won by Liu Shiwen, who was in excellent condition; second, Liu Shiwen's technology was not as advanced as that of the new generation, but the speed, landing point and experience were really pure. Wang Yidi's strength is infinite, but Liu Shiwen controlled the small triangle of the forehand, and the advantage of backhand holding could not be played; Sasha was in the "free range" period without a coach, underestimating Liu Shiwen's state, and was beaten by Liu Shiwen when suspended.
However, it is indeed more difficult for Liu Shiwen of Singapore station to have such a highlight play. Through the Macau tournament, everyone knows that Liu Shiwen's state is recovering, and she will definitely strengthen the importance of Liu Shiwen, from the perspective of the final against Wang Manyu, Liu Shiwen's routine against Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha was quickly familiar with the "eel", and the final victory in the game still relied on hard power. With the current backhand strong opponent attack, Xiao Zao's strength advantage is still inferior to that of the new generation. WTT Singapore, if Liu Shiwen wants to reach the women's singles final in singles, it is much more difficult than in Macau.
Whether Liu Shiwen encountered Ito at Singapore station depends on the lottery situation, and the two may not be in the inferior position when they fight against Xiao Ju.
Because WTT Singapore is the first Grand Slam event set up by the International Table Tennis Federation, the women's singles champion has up to 2,000 points and the prize money is 100,000 US dollars. Ito, who wants to rush to the world's first throne, is definitely coming to compete. If you don't participate, you will also be deducted points by the ITTF.
1. Liu Shiwen touching Ito depends on the "fate", if you fight Liu Shiwen wins a big face. Before retiring, Liu Shiwen was able to defeat Ito Mimako once, which should be said to be the wish of the majority of fans. After all, Xiao Ju still maintains an embarrassing 2 consecutive defeats against Ito, while "Meng Shaman" and Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong maintain a relatively large advantage over Ito. WTT Grand Slam tournaments still rely on the lottery to group. Liu Shiwen is now ranked 16th, Ito ranks 3rd in the world, and the two people are drawn into the same group, and it really depends on the "fate". If Ito had met Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Chen Meng in advance, she would have been eliminated before she could reach Liu Shiwen.
If Liu Shiwen and Ito are in the same group, I personally think that it is more likely that XiaoJu will win the game. First of all, in the Macau tournament, Wang Yidi and Sun Yingsha can be won, indicating that Liu Shiwen's state is very good, and her strength is still at the top level; secondly, Ito belongs to the first three boards of fighting and playing, and the ball held by the last few boards is not as thick as Liu Shiwen, and Liu Shiwen's first three boards are not bad. After losing the game, Wang Yidi also said that her first three boards were not handled well by Liu Shiwen. Ito is now almost studied by the national table tennis, and from 2019 to now, she has basically not improved again. If Liu Shiwen and Ito fight, I am optimistic about Xiao Zaosheng.
Due to Zhu Yuling's withdrawal, Liu Shiwen was lucky to change from a candidate to a "main force" to compete, everyone felt that she was in excellent condition, could she win when she met Ito?
