On March 17, Beijing time, the ITTF WTT Doha station competition is underway. This tournament is played at the same time as the Singapore Grand Slam tournament. However, Liu Guoliang's coaching team did not give up, and still arranged 27 people to participate, led by Zhao Zihao, Zhou Qihao, Liu Dingshuo, Qian Tianyi and others. Zhao Zihao is the number one seed in the men's singles, and Qian Tianyi is the number one seed in the women's singles.
The ongoing battle for the women's singles semifinals is the national table tennis world youth championship champion Shi Xunyao against Japan's world youth champion Nagasaki Miyu. Both are women's singles champions of the Table Tennis League World Youth Championships, starting from teenagers, Shi Xunyao and Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu are the same batch of players, but the development is obviously lagging behind, and it has now lagged far behind Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and others. Nagasaki Yuzu has now qualified for the World Table Tennis Championships.
The two met in the final four place battle, the first set, Nagasaki Miyu entered the form quickly, she was fast, good at playing, 11:5 Nagasaki Miyu won a set first, the big score of 1:0 lead. In the second set, Shi Xunyao's state improved, after the two sides drew 9:9, Shi Xunyao exerted his strength, scored two consecutive points, and pulled back a set at 11:9, and the two sides drew 1:1. In the third set, Shi Xunyao locked in the victory 11:7, leading 2:1.
Next, the national table tennis young player Shi Xunyao gradually controlled the game situation, with 11:8, 11:5 consecutive wins of two sets, so that Shi Xunyao in the case of the first loss of one set, won four consecutive sets, the total score of 4:1 reverse eliminated the Japanese famous Nagasaki Miyu, successfully advanced to the women's singles final four. After the victory, Shi Xunyao was very excited, swinging his fist and roaring, and the suppressed emotions were completely released, and even a little tearful.
In fact, Shi Xunyao debuted earlier than Sun Yingsha and won the Women's Singles Championship of the World Youth Championship earlier. However, since then, Shi Xunyao has not played out, playing youth competitions for many years, and the performance of adult competitions is average. In the recently concluded Japan Round of 32, Nagasaki successfully advanced to the women's singles final, and finally lost to Hina Hayata 3:4 on aggregate, and won the second place. However, Miyu Nagasaki has already qualified for the World Table Tennis Championships.
