On February 26, Beijing time, the Table Tennis T League welcomed a heavyweight player, that is, Japan's world champion Ishikawa Yoshijun. Due to ishikawa's frequent abandonment of the tournament recently, so just playing has attracted a lot of people's attention, and this time she also lived up to expectations, after her 29th birthday, she won a big victory and won 2 games in a row, which is really good!
In addition, Ishikawa's teammate Zhang Benzhi and his sister Zhang Benmei, who is only 13 years old, also made a contribution again, sweeping the opponent 3-0 to win 1 point for Kanagawa Club - veterans and newcomers have played a good record, and indeed they are leading the way.
Ishikawa Yoshijun was born in 1993, zhang Benmei was born in 2008, the difference between the two is 15 years, the latter can call the former aunt. Despite the large age gap, they have both now grown into stars in the T League and are now working together to contribute to the Kanagawa team's championship, while showing different competitive styles.
After the battle began on February 26, Ishikawa Yoshinori first played with Rin in the first doubles match against Nagoya's Minami Ando/Suzuki Riga. Although the two sides won the first match 11-10, in the second set, Ishikawa Yoshinori / Front-Runner easily won 11-4, and swept the opponent 2-0 to score the first point.
In the second set, Zhang Benmeihe competed with Oikawa, who was 5 years older than himself, but his level was average, and this ball completely became a "one-sided" situation, Zhang Benmeihe went down to three cities 11-8, 11-9, 11-7, and won 3-0 with a big score.
In the third set, Japan's national singles runner-up and former women's doubles world number one Player Miyu Kihara appeared, and and Ando Minami, who was also a cross-shot fast attack combined with arc play, staged a 5-inning fierce battle, resulting in Kihara Miyu achieving a 0-1, 1-2 situation, 3-2 narrow victory to force Nagoya into a desperate situation, and then Ishikawa Yoshijun came on the court again to meet the challenge of Hiromi Edo.
In the fourth set, Ishikawa encountered some difficulties, and after a 11-3 win in the first set, he was forced into danger by his opponent and then lost the second set 9-11. However, the balance of strength between the two sides is still relatively large, so Ishikawa Yoshijun quickly stabilized his position, 11-9, 11-7 down the two cities, the big score of 3-1 victory, thus helping Kanagawa Club 4-0 on aggregate to the end.
At present, it seems that Ishikawa's strength can still stabilize at the level of the top three in Japan, but with the increase of age, whether she can continue to maintain until the 2024 Paris Olympic Games is still in doubt; and Zhang Benmeihe's progress is already visible to the naked eye, and it may be that in the near future, she will also become an important opponent of the Chinese team like her brother Zhang Benzhihe, which is worth everyone's vigilance.
