After the baptism of the first round of the Grand Slam tournament, the Japanese table tennis can be described as a heavy loss, especially in the men's singles field, the No. 4 seed Zhang Benzhi and the first round of the tournament were out of the cold, and the Japanese table tennis men's team directly lost the biggest hope of winning the championship. Zhang Benzhihe's opponent is American rising star Karnak, who played in mixed doubles with Wang Manyu at last year's World Table Tennis Championships and showed good potential. Zhang Benzhi won the first set 11:7 to occupy the initiative on the field.
However, in the next three sets, Zhang Benzhi and the mood swings were large, and Kanak's offensive rhythm was not very accustomed, and he was reversed by the opponent for three consecutive sets to win. In the last set, Zhang Benzhihe only scored 3 points, and his mentality was not stable. Before the Grand Slam event, Zhang Benzhihe won the men's singles championship in the Japanese Round of 32, and the competitive state was at its best. Helpless or unstable, a slight encounter with a difficult state will decline sharply, according to this Zhang Benzhi and in the Paris cycle is difficult to have an excellent record.
Another potential player on the Japanese men's table tennis team, Togami Hayabusa, lost 2-3 to Slovenia's Dako. Hayabusa Togami's strength has grown by leaps and bounds in the past two years, not only winning the Japanese Championships, but also being selected for the team World Table Tennis Championships. It's just a pity that you can't fight a hard battle, you can't grasp the key points, and you can only regret losing. At present, only Morien Masataka and Yukiya Umeda have passed the first round of the main round, Morien Masataka eliminated Slovak Wang Yang, and Yukiya Utada kept a clean sheet for Chinese Taipei's Liao Zhenju.
The Japanese table tennis women's team is in stark contrast to the men's team, and the 4 main players are all red and promoted. Ito met German veteran Han Ying, who was once a World Cup finalist, and Ito won 3-1. Although he missed the final four in the Japanese Round of 32, Ito's ability to compete is beyond doubt. The national table tennis main force Wang Yidi won the civil war, and Ito Mimachi was in the same community, and the two are expected to fight again after the World Table Tennis Championships, which is the first difficulty for Ito Mimachi.
Ishikawa played more smoothly, eliminating American star Zhang An 3-0. Ishikawa Yoshinori actively attacked as soon as he came up, and won the first set 11:2 easily. Although Zhang An counterattacked strongly in the next 2 sets, he was slightly inexperienced and did not reverse the situation on the field, and Ishikawa Yoshizumi successfully won the game. Hirano did not encounter much resistance either, eliminating Monaco's Yang Xiaoxin 3-1. Since Hirano's recovery from injury, her playing style has been very strong, and her strength has a tendency to rise. However, it is regrettable that Ishikawa Yoshijun and Hirano Miyu did not enter the world table tennis championships list.
On the contrary, Hayata Xena won a little difficult, narrowly beating Luxembourg's Denut 3-2. Hayata Hina is the Women's Singles Champion of Japan's Round of 32, and her personal strength is already comparable to that of Ito Mimakoto, which may be that the first round of the main round has not yet been adjusted, resulting in continuous mistakes in the game. At present, only Miyu Kato and Hitomi Sato are unfortunately out of the Japanese table tennis women's team, Miyu Kato lost 2-3 to Chinese Taipei main Zheng Yijing, and Hitomi Sato lost 0-3 to Chen Meng.
