On February 13, Beijing time, Japanese table tennis world champion Ishikawa Yoshijun returned to the T League battlefield after a three-month absence, but suffered two consecutive defeats, first with Zhang Benzhi and his 13-year-old sister Zhang Benmei and his partner women's doubles 1-2 loss to Nagasaki Miyu / Sun Yingsha, followed by a 2-3 defeat to Nagasaki Miyu in a singles showdown: the opponent is worthy of the former women's doubles world ranking no. 1, women's singles has won two consecutive zhu Yuling athletes!
Both times were defeated in the decider, which shows that Ishikawa Yoshijun is still a bit "hand-born", and the two main players of the Japanese life team opposite her have not played this time - Hirano Miyu has previously been diagnosed with the new crown and has not yet returned; Hina Hayata also hangs up the exemption card, so everyone has not been able to see her and Ishikawa Yoshijun stage a peak duel.
Since December last year, Ishikawa has been playing in the T-League. After the arrival of 2022, she only participated in the Japanese National Championships, resulting in an early singles exit, and the doubles was forced to end the battle early due to Hirano Miyu's illness, stopping the semi-final stage.
After this, everyone was very worried about Ishikawa's situation, but she quickly told everyone that she was healthy, not infected, and everything was fine, but she still did not appear in the T League for the past half a month, and it was not until February 13 that she was late to represent Kanagawa against the Japanese Life Club.
In the first doubles set, Ishikawa Yoshizumi partnered with 13-year-old young player Miwa Akimoto to play against Miyu Nagasaki / Sakura Mori. Yoshijun Ishikawa and Miyu Nagasaki have ranked first in the women's doubles world with Miyu Hirano and Miyu Kihara respectively, but this time both sides have changed partners, so the level has definitely declined.
After three fierce sets of duels, Ishikawa Yoshizumi / Zhang Benmei and the final big score of 1-2 defeat (9-11, 11-7, 9-11) - the loss of the two sets is only 2 points less than the other side, some regrets.
In the second set of singles, Ishikawa Yoshinori's teammate Miyu Kihara swept Sasao Asuka 3-0, followed by the third set was Ishikawa Yoshinori, Nagasaki Miyu began to fight, the result is Ishikawa Yoshijun collapsed in the decider, the big score was 2-3 lost, the single set was also bombarded by the other side a 2-11 point difference, indeed did not find the feeling.
In the fourth set, Kazumi Kimura of Kanagawa team came out and lost 1-3 to Reiaki Aso of The Japanese Life Team. In this way, even without Hirano Miyu and Hayata Hina, the Japanese Life Club still laughed at the end of the total score of 3-1, and this ending is still somewhat surprising.
The performance of Nagasaki Miyu in this competition is the most amazing, but she has also had a very bright performance after all, including the women's doubles and Kihara Miyu defeated Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu, the women's singles two consecutive victories over Zhu Yuling, but in recent years it has stagnated, and according to some Japanese media reports, it may have a certain relationship with the Japanese men's team player Yukiya Utada, which needs to be examined.
In March this year, Ishikawa Yoshijun and others will participate in the top 32 in Japan and officially begin to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, hoping that she can quickly get back to her form and continue to keep the main position: come on!
