WTT Singapore Grand Slam, as the competition progressed, the competition also became more and more intense, the main tournament began to go through two rounds, but five national players have been eliminated.
The men's team's Lin Gaoyuan, Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong all lost the foreign war, while Chen Xingtong lost to teammate Wang Yidi, and youngster Ku Man lost to Sun Yingsha.
Compared with the men's team, Chinese women's table tennis still maintains an undefeated record in foreign wars, which fully shows that the strength of Chinese women's table tennis is still in a hegemonic position in the world table tennis arena.
In terms of men's table tennis, the three players who are out of the game have all lost the foreign war. If the young general Xiang Peng and Lin Shidong lost the foreign war, it was because they participated in such a big competition for the first time, the mentality was more nervous, coupled with the lack of experience in the big game, it can be forgiven, Lin Gaoyuan lost the foreign war again, which is to completely disappoint the fans.
As a 25-year-old athlete who is not young and has participated in the World Series many times, but still has such an immature performance, Lin Gaoyuan's performance is indeed not satisfactory.
Now the men's team of Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Wang Chuqin and Liang Jingkun successfully advanced to the next round, while the women's team's Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu, Liu Shiwen and Wang Yidi also successfully advanced to the next round!
On March 14, the tournament will continue, with the following matches worth paying attention to.
First: Ito Mimachi against Chen Siyu.
Ito performed strongly in the first round of the competition, facing Han Ying, a German-Chinese player 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.
It can be seen that it is also in very good shape today, the first Grand Slam tournament, Ito Mimachi's goal is to win the women's singles and women's doubles championships.
Of course, it is not an easy task to win the championship, and on the afternoon of March 14, Ito Will face Chen Siyu of Chinese Taipei.
Ito Mimachi and Chen Siyu had a fight in the 2020 World Cup, when Ito Mimachi defeated the opponent by a score of 4-1, this time fighting, can Chen Siyu create enough trouble for Ito Mimachi?
Second: Wang Yidi vs. Miyu Hirano.
After Defeating Chen Xingtong, Wang Yidi was about to begin to shoulder the heavy responsibility of resisting Japan.
In the second round, Wang Yidi will play against Miyu Hirano.
Hirano miyu and Ito Mimachi Sun Yingsha are the same age, earlier than Ito Mimachi Sun Yingsha out of the results, as early as 2016, Hirano Miyu won the World Cup women's singles championship.
However, in recent years, Hirano has not achieved decent results, and even recently lost the qualification for this year's World Table Tennis Championships.
And Wang Yidi's recent momentum is very strong, this time against Hirano Miyu, I believe that as long as Wang Yidi plays normally, victory over the opponent should not be a big problem.
If Wang Yidi can defeat Miyu Hirano, the opponent in the next round is likely to be another Japanese player, Ito Mimachi!
This time, can Wang Yidi succeed in resisting Japan?
Third: Sun Yingsha plays twice a day.
Although on March 14, Sun Yingsha did not play in singles, in the women's doubles and mixed doubles, Sun Yingsha will play on this day.
This is a huge challenge for Sun Yingsha's physical strength.
However, I believe that Sun Yingsha has long been mentally prepared for this point, and I also believe that Sun Yingsha will be able to successfully complete the task of the game.
