On March 17, Beijing time, the 2022 WTT Singapore Grand Slam Women's Singles entered the quarter-finals of the competition, from the eight-round lineup, the national table tennis women's team still firmly occupies the group advantage, Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Wang Yidi and other names are impressively listed. Wang Yidi was the first to appear, as one of the main players of the national table tennis women's team in the Paris Olympic cycle, she continued her good form in the first event of the beginning of the year. In the match against France's Yuan Jianan, Wang Yidi was full of firepower and successfully defeated her opponent to advance to the women's singles final four, and her opponent in the semifinals will be the winner between Chen Meng and Ishikawa Jiachun.
After the game, Wang Yidi said in an interview that he was in good shape and hoped to play at his due level in the semifinals. This Singapore Grand Slam, the national table tennis women's singles full of the main force, the outside world generally believes that the women's singles champion will be produced between Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, these three players in the past two seasons of the most eye-catching results. Wang Yidi has been the top five main players of the women's team in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, but has not been able to win the championship in singles. In terms of overall strength, there is still a certain gap between Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and others, but in terms of foreign wars, her record is also good.
Last season, she lost to Luxembourg veteran Ni Xialian and was pushed to the forefront by fans. Fortunately, in the subsequent World Championships, Wang Yidi withstood the pressure and defeated the number one main player of the Japanese team, Ito Mimako, to achieve a gorgeous turn. Entering the Paris Olympic cycle, as veteran Liu Shiwen gradually fades out, Wang Yidi will also get more opportunities to exercise and prove himself. The first grand slam in Singapore at the beginning of the year was a big test for Wang Yidi. Li Falcon, head coach of the national table tennis women's team, also said that the strength of Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng no longer needs to be tested, and the coaching team will consciously focus on the new generation of players.
After all, the team can't just rely on these three golden flowers to play the world. Wang Yidi's opponent in the quarterfinals is Yuan Jiannan, who has previously defeated Ito Mimachi to advance, which also makes many fans regret that Wang Yidi and Ito Mimachi cannot play. Before the game, the duel between Wang Yidi and Yuan Jiannan attracted a lot of attention. In the first set, Wang Yidi took the initiative to use the serve to drive the attack, scoring with multiple forehands and winning 11:9.
Subsequently, Wang Yidi and Yuan Jiannan came and went, playing a lot of wonderful rounds, and the two each took a round. In the fourth game, Wang Yidi readjusted his mentality and made a change in the batting line, a change that caught Yuan Jianan a little off guard. In the end, Wang Yidi took advantage of the victory to chase and win the whole game. Interestingly, after advancing to the final four, Wang Yidi still behaved very calmly. Fans have ridiculed, "All say that Sun Yingsha is a cold-faced killer, it seems that Wang Yidi is also deeply transmitted"! In the upcoming semi-finals, can Wang Yidi go further?
