Beijing time on March 12, 2022 news, the current WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament is in full swing. As the schedule progressed, a number of seeded players took the stage to show their might. In terms of national table tennis, following the impressive record of winning eight games on the first regular day, the soldiers continued to meet the impact of the good players of various associations on the second match day. Judging from the several matches that have just ended, the intensity of the game is really fierce, the national table tennis men's single defeat has appeared, and the national table tennis women's team will sing and advance, which is expected.
The national table tennis women's team will win beautifully! Ito's debut is not simple, and Xiang Peng's 0-3 loss is too embarrassing! In the women's singles 1/32 final, the main force of national table tennis, Olympic champion Chen Meng, made a shining debut, and her opponent was Hitomi Sato, a well-known Japanese table tennis chipper. As we all know, the cut ball pass was once a hurdle for the female players of the national table tennis team, just say that this Sato Hitomi, she once brought a lot of trouble to the national table tennis women's team, and twice defeated the female team captain Ding Ning. However, after Li Falcon and others strengthened their training for the cutting ball play, hitomi Sato's threat was much worse than before. This contest seems to have been decided from the beginning!
However, the process of cutting the ball is not simple: at the beginning of the game, the scores of the two sides alternately rose, and Hitomi Sato once led the score in the game, but they were later recovered by Chen Meng. When the two sides fought to an 8-8 draw, Chen Meng scored three consecutive points to win the game advantage of 11-8. Then in the second set, Hitomi Sato slashed the counterattack, played very tenaciously, Chen Meng also had some small mistakes in putting a high ball, and the two sides bit very tightly on the score. Then when Chen Meng took another 7-5 lead, Hitomi Sato called a timeout. However, this did not interfere with Chen Meng's upward momentum, she has mastered the initiative of the game through the rhythm change, and Chen Meng will play again at 11-7. There was not much suspense in the third set, and under Marlene's watchful eye, Chen Meng won the game 11-9 to win the game 3-0. It's so beautiful!
On the other hand, Ito, a new talent in Japanese table tennis, also ushered in the debut of the main competition: similarly, she also had to face the cutting of the ball when she came up, but this was not a big threat to her. In the match against the German-Chinese veteran Han Ying, Ito scored several times with a fast tear angle, although Han Ying tried to drag Ito's attack by changing the rhythm, but the latter obviously had his own unique knowledge of cutting the ball, and finally locked up the victory 3-1 (11-3, 11-5, 9-11, 11-5). It is not difficult to see that Ito's comprehensive strength is still online, and Wang Yidi/Chen Xingtong must be more careful.
After talking about the women's singles, let's talk about the men's singles. Xiang Peng, who had previously played well in the WTT regular season challenge in Oman, had bad luck this time, although he successfully broke through from the qualifiers to the main game, but in the first round of the match against Denmark's Gross, Xiang Peng played very nervously, received too bad serves, old and high, giving people a feeling of not waking up. In the end, Xiang Peng suffered a 0-3 (3-11, 8-11, 10-12) loss, and the loss was somewhat embarrassing. Faced with this scene, Xiang Peng's coach in charge left the arena directly, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. In this regard, the young general has seen the cruelty of the adult international competition, but such a blow is not necessarily a bad thing for him, so let's sum it up and start all over again!
