WTT Grand Slams enter a new matchday scramble, while in singles events it is still the thirty-two-sixteen round that continues. In the match between He Zhuojia, who came first, and Zhang Mo, a 33-year-old veteran who is also from Hebei and now plays as a Canadian player, although the 24-year-old He Zhuojia suffered a slight setback, he still won the final victory of the game with a 3-1 aggregate score by virtue of his overall strength, and won a place to advance to the women's singles round of 16. The scores were in four sets: 11-5, 4-11, 11-8, 11-8. After the match between He Zhuojia and Zhang Mo, although there was no national table tennis player, the other game also attracted the attention of Chinese fans - that is, the competition between Ito Mimako from Japanese women's table tennis and Chen Siyu, a 29-year-old veteran from Chinese Taipei. Although ito has increased the possibility of losing in the competition within the Japanese table tennis team, she is still the number one seed of Japanese women's table tennis in the world arena and the strongest competitor of the national table tennis women's team, which needs to be paid enough attention.
In the first set of the game, Ito Mimachi still entered the state quickly, and also tried his best to seek changes in the first three boards and create problems for Chen Siyu. Throughout the first set, Chen Siyu only in the opening stage, once with the advantage of the first serve to achieve a 3-2 lead, and then Ito Mimachi caught up with the score and achieved a counter-overtake. It can be said that the two sides were competing for the first three boards for most of the first set, and this is just the advantage of Ito Mimako, whether it is a direct score on the serve, or a rush to attack after the serve, and Ito Mimachi's first change of line and rhythm after Chen Siyu's serve, so that she fully controlled the initiative of the game and easily won the first set 11-6. The score was 1-0, with Ito leading.
However, the second set of the game was suddenly changed, although the two sides in the previous opening stage and the first set the same 3-3 draw and 4-4 draw, but Ito Mimachi did not take any advantage in the next few serves, but also appeared a time when her own serve hit the edge of the table directly missed points, which also showed from one side that Ito Mimachi was still a little anxious and nervous after encountering challenges on the field, and this anxiety and tension was reflected in the score, that is, let her in front of Chen Siyu's continuous attack, There were many mistakes of their own, a lucky side ball score, so that Chen Siyu returned to Ito 11-6 in a set, the two sides formed a 1-1 draw in the big score.
The third game of the game is crucial for both sides, and it can also be said that it is a battle of momentum between the two sides. In this round, Ito Mimachi used an unreasonable way of playing in the case of losing a round in the front, daring to take the initiative to fight when receiving the serve, and advancing the battle line, this way of not playing cards according to the routine made Chen Siyu very uncomfortable. Coupled with the fact that Ito herself has changed a lot in terms of serve, she paid more attention to this change in this set, 11-7, Ito Mimachi went down to the next city, taking a 2-1 lead. The reason why the score was not completely pulled apart was because Ito also made some mistakes in the fight process, so it seems that Ito only won 4 points, but it reflects the gap between active start and passive defense.
The game entered the fourth set of contention, Ito Mimachi took the initiative to fight after the problem of more mistakes affected her play on the field, although she began to take a 3-0 lead, but in the middle of the game she had consecutive offensive mistakes, and Chen Siyu also increased the fighting intensity in this innings, after the two fought 7-7, Chen Siyu also achieved an 8-7 score lead, and Ito Mimachi called a timeout for himself at this time. Sure enough, after the suspension came back, Ito Mimachi maintained the momentum of chasing points, although Chen Siyu won the set point 10-9, but Ito Mimachi relied on his own line change to chase the score of the two sides to 10-10, and at the critical moment, he continuously mobilized Chen Siyu's backhand to score from a large angle, so as to win the fourth set of the game at 12-10. Thus eliminating Chen Siyu with a 3-1 aggregate score to get a place in the women's singles round of 16. The scores were in four sets: 11-6, 6-11, 11-7 and 12-10. It seems that the head-to-head confrontation between the expected national table tennis players and Ito Mimachi is destined to be staged.
