On the second matchday of the WTT Grand Slam, if there is any match that attracts the most attention, it is undoubtedly the strong dialogue between Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong. The so-called palms and backs of the hands are meat, no matter who these two players will eventually go out, it will feel a loss and regret for the national table tennis fans, and from a certain point of view, both people are players who have the strength to win the women's singles championship level, but now they are going to meet in the first round, which is indeed regrettable. Of course, in the case that the two people know each other very well and fully understand the bottom line, in fact, who can have a more stable mentality and handle the key ball more reasonably, who has the opportunity to win in this game of equal strength. The result of the game ended with Wang Yidi, who played more fiercely and released on the field, successfully staged a 3-2 reversal. The five-set scores were: 9-11, 11-9, 8-11, 11-6 and 11-6.
In the first set of the game, both sides started very cautiously. It was also a draw that started with a 3-3 and 4-4 and 5-5 draw. However, in the middle of the game, Wang Yidi in front of Chen Xingtong's high snowboard quality, there were consecutive return ball errors, Chen Xingtong also had a lucky roll tennis score, and Chen Xingtong's forehand line change mistake brought the score between the two sides to 9-5. Seeing that he could easily win the first set, Chen Xingtong played a bit conservatively in the case of a big score lead, and after Wang Yidi strengthened the changes in the serve and the strength in the attack, he chased the points continuously, and the score of the two sides also came to 9-10, however, the final key point, Wang Yidi still did not stand firmly, there was a backhand offensive error, 11-9 Chen Xingtong struggled to win the first set, and took a 1-0 lead in the innings.
In the second set of the game, the two sides began to enter a multi-board stalemate without temptation, and Wang Yidi had a slight advantage in strength and change after being able to keep up with Chen Xingtong in terms of speed, and took a 7-5 lead in the middle of the game. However, Chen Xingtong's fake action is also very confusing, seemingly short but actually split long serve let Chen Xingtong chase the score to 6-7. Although Wang Yidi used the change of line to get another point after the strong and strong stalemate, Chen Xingtong's opportunity ball was not seized, and the direct mistake of tearing sent Wang Yidi 1 point. The score came to 9-6. But then Chen Xingtong played very tenaciously, dared to take the initiative to change the line, and the score was forced to close to 8-9. Wang Yidi quickly called a pause for himself. The suspension worked, and Wang Yidi also took the opportunity to stabilize the situation on the field, and pulled back a city by holding the snowboard plus quality 11-9, and the big score on the field came to a 1-1 draw.
In the third set of the match, both sides still started with the pursuit of active attack, resulting in a draw of 2-2, 3-3 and 4-4. In the middle of the game, Chen Xingtong took advantage of Wang Yidi's backhand attack error, forehand receiving mistake and slash ball off the net, scoring consecutive points to achieve a 6-4 lead. However, Wang Yidi played more actively after falling behind by the score, daring to serve and rush to attack, chasing the score to 5-6. It's just that after Wang Yidi formed a rapid standoff, the error rate was a bit high, and Chen Xingtong sought to open a long ball directly after seeking changes, and the point difference between the two sides was pulled 8-5. But Wang Yidi's inability to pick up the score, as well as the sideways rush to attack the hand, so that the score of the two sides to 7-8, the point difference returned to 1 point, Chen Xingtong took the initiative to call a timeout for himself, and the suspension came back to really use the advantage of speed to continuously cause Wang Yidi's mistakes, so as to take the next city with an 11-8 score, the two sides came to 2-1, Chen Xingtong led.
The game entered the fourth set of contention, the two sides are a main forehand attack, more use of their own backhand attack, both people are also using their own special skills, the opening game is 1-1 and 2-2, 3-3, and then in the middle stage Wang Yidi worked the landing point, and there was a luck ball score, which opened the difference between the two sides to 6-3. Although Chen Xingtong played a sudden change by taking the initiative to change the line, and there was a straight line to reduce the difference between the two sides to 5-6, But Wang Yidi's stage pick-and-roll, coupled with the heavy deduction of a board of continuous scoring, and Chen Xingtong's continuous hand errors, the difference between the two sides was once again opened, as Chen Xingtong received Wang Yidi's direct mistake to send points, 11-6 Wang Yidi also won another set, and the big score of the two sides came to 2-2. The two are in a fairy fight, or a five-game tiebreaker.
In the fifth set of the game, both sides have a chance, but, comparatively speaking, Wang Yidi played more fiercely, but also more domineering, in terms of strength and the quality of continuous multi-board attacks also have a slight advantage, in the first half of the game Wang Yidi took a 5-3 lead to exchange venues, and Wang Yidi, who played momentum, did not give Chen Xingtong a chance in the back, she scored consecutively after forming multiple board attacks and back-and-forth balls, and the point difference was also pulled to 10-6, with Wang Yidi's continuous forehand attack causing Chen Xingtong to return to the net, 11-6, Wang Yidi won the fifth set, thus eliminating Chen Xingtong with a 3-2 overall score, advancing to the second round, but also allowing Chen Xingtong to face even the world's top masters, but also the result of the first round out. I look forward to Wang Yidi playing better in the later competitions.
