On the evening of February 27, Beijing time, the table tennis European Championship women's singles final list was officially released! Han Ying, a famous German-Chinese player and Olympic team runner-up, played a brave role and swept Romania's Szokos 4-0 to advance, just one step away from the gold medal! Russia's big black horse Mikhailova ended her upset trip and was eliminated 4-2 by Austria's Polkanova.
In the next final battle, Han Ying has a great advantage over Polkanova, or will have the hope of winning this year's championship, which is worth paying attention to!
This year's European Cup women's singles situation is more intense, 3 of the 4 Chinese celebrities have fallen outside the semi-finals, of which the most concerned 58-year-old world champion Ni Xialian (former national table tennis main player, now Luxembourg player) is a bitter 7 sets lost to Polkanova, which also makes Han Ying's pressure very large.
In the following semi-final battle, Polkanova continued to play very well competitively, facing the Russian mikhailova who eliminated the defending champion Mitheim (Germany), although she had a bad start, 0-1, 1-2 behind the big score, but finally won three consecutive sets to achieve a reversal (9-11, 11-9, 11-13, 11-7, 11-7, 11-4) and successfully reached the final.
As for the other semi-final, it was all a one-sided situation - Han Ying met a Romanian player Szokos after a narrow 4-3 victory over Romanian world runner-up Samara, but this time the big score was 4-0 without waves, and there was no chance for the opponent to fight back (11-5, 11-5, 11-2, 11-6).
This Szokos is very famous in the table tennis circle, but not because of good results, but because of his high appearance, so he has attracted countless fans. But it turns out that competitive sports are not "appearance is justice", in the face of veteran Han Ying's unpredictable slashing, Szokos really has no countermeasures, and finally can only accept the fate of fiasco.
In the women's singles final, Han Ying still has a certain advantage over Polkanova, after all, her basic skills are more solid and her experience is richer. However, Polkanova is a player whose strengths are not prominent, but the loopholes are not obvious, and the playing is relatively stable, so she is also very patient with the chipper, and there is suspense in the final battle.
So who is optimistic about who can win this year's European Cup women's singles gold medal? The answer will be revealed later today, so leave a comment here to write your predictions!
