On the afternoon of March 12, Beijing time, the national table tennis rival and Japanese mixed doubles Olympic champion Ito Mimachi made his debut at the WTT Grand Slam to meet Han Ying, a German-Chinese cutter and team Olympic runner-up. In this battle, Ito Mimachi can be said to have fully grasped the initiative, and finally eliminated Han Ying 3-1 to break into the second round of women's singles, and she was also smiling after winning.
After the arrival of 2022, Ito Mimachi only participated in the national championship and the round of 32 in Japan, and the result was a championship and an upset to stop in the quarterfinals, the state is not very stable, but through her performance in the battle with Han Ying, the Chinese team absolutely cannot let down its vigilance!
Ito Mimachi and Han Ying are all more familiar table tennis players, both of whom are backhand granular rubber, but one is a fast attack combined arc, and the other is a chipping style of play, which belongs to different schools.
Judging from the previous record, Ito Isomasa is very skilled at cutting the ball, so this duel against Han Ying is facing a severe test. However, Ito Mimachi only recently lost in Japan, and the frequency of her participation in the game in recent times is very low, so the state still needs to be adjusted, and there is still some suspense in this battle.
However, after the game began, Ito Mimachi quickly found the state, came up to give Han Ying a 5-0 down horse, and then continued to score, and then won the first set very easily at 11-3 - the average athlete is mainly afraid of the rotation of the backhand granular rubber, but Ito Mimachi's own backhand is the granular rubber, so it is relatively more adaptable.
In the second set, Ito Mimachi was full of momentum, winning easily 11-5, and its fast attack made Han Ying simply too late to fight, and most of the downward spin balls cut back became weak rotations, and then entered the opponent's routine, completely led by the nose.
In the third set, Han Ying finally created a certain threat to Ito Mimako, gained a lead in the score, and then won a narrow victory of 11-9 to win back Yicheng. However, in the fourth set, Ito Mimachi was completely crazy, and came up to blast out a 7-1 score, and then locked in a victory 11-5, eliminating the opponent 3-1 and advancing to the women's singles round: Han Ying really couldn't play, try her best!
At present, Ito Mimachi is indeed very good at dealing with the chipping ball, which also shows that she has a deep understanding of the rotation and rhythm of table tennis, which is also worth learning from many young athletes - so can Ito Mimachi challenge the success of the national table tennis player this time? Let's wait and see!
