WTT Grand Slam afternoon session of the game, the first is a women's singles final four battle, the result of the national table tennis main Wang Yidi in the first 2 sets of victory, by the French Yuan Jianan chased a set, but in the fourth set is still steady, did not let Yuan Jianan tie the big score, and finally won the opponent with a 3-1 total score to advance to the women's singles round of 4. In the ensuing men's singles eight-in-four battle, there was no figure of the national table tennis men's team players, and the two sides of the confrontation were Yukiya Utada from Japanese men's table tennis and the no. 4 men's singles Qiu Dang from Germany. As a result, after five rounds of hard fighting, in the end, Utada Yukiya eliminated Qiu Dang with a total score of 3-2 and won the first men's singles final four place in the case of falling behind 1-2 in the big score. He will next face the winners between Fan Zhendong and Francesca in the final four to compete for a final spot. I believe that Xiao Fat will definitely defeat Francesca, advance to the semi-finals, and will avenge Xu Xin's loss.
Looking back at the game process between Yukiya Utada and Qiu Dang, we will find two points, one is that the strength of the two people is basically equal, whoever puts the game into their own rhythm will have the upper hand on the field, and both people belong to the one who takes the initiative to attack, it is easier to score, but the offensive continuity on the field is not firm enough. Another point is that the performance of both sides on the field is more obvious, such as Qiu Dang once took a 2-1 lead in the big score with his own initiative, but when he saw the chance and hope of winning, he began to play a little conservatively, but it was Yukiya Utada who seized the opportunity to achieve a counter-over inning in the fourth and fifth sets, and both scored consecutively, thus changing the trend of the game.
Especially in the fifth set of the game, because the two sides fought in front of each other into a big draw of 2-2, whoever can win this round will win the final victory of the game. As a result, after Qiu Dang took the lead in taking the lead in 1-0, he obviously waited for Yukiya Utada to make a mistake. Yukiya Utada, on the other hand, played very excitedly and attacked fiercely, and his determination actually reduced his offensive error rate in this innings significantly, and the fight ball also played well, and he saw that the score was pulled to 6-1 and 7-2. However, then Qiu Dang had a lucky rolling score in the case of defense, and Yukiya Uda's own attack also appeared back to the net, and the score was forced to close to 4-7. Yukiya Utada quickly called a pause for himself. The effect of the suspension was indeed obvious, and Yukiya Utada returned to a state where he could solve the problem by scoring consecutively, taking the initiative to play the first five boards of the first three boards, and he also continued to pull the score to 10-4. Although Qiu Dang saved two consecutive match points in the final stages of the innings, his return ball was not enough to net, but Yukiya Utada was 11-6 and then the next city, thus achieving a successful counterattack from 1-2 to 3-2. And locked in the first men's singles semifinals place.
In general, although Zhang Benzhihe played poorly in this competition, went out early, and more and more exposed the lack of hard power and the problem of unstable mentality in the game, Utada Yukiya still stood up for the Japanese men's table tennis, proving that their team is not only Zhang Benzhi and this role that can stand firm in the world arena. Judging from his two consecutive rounds of matches between South Korea's Lin Zhongxun and Germany's Qiu Dang, at least Utada Yukiya's current strength and style can be above Lin Gaoyuan. Therefore, for the national table tennis team, it is also necessary to pay full attention to Yukiya Utada. Of course, we believe that the main players of the national table tennis men's team, as long as they do not drop the chain and play their own state, will be able to successfully break through in front of Yukiya Utada. Besides, the next round of Yukiya Utada will face our number one seed Fan Zhendong? Let's look forward to Fan Zhendong's successful breakthrough in Utada Yukiya. By the way, Fan Zhendong and Francesca's match has not yet been played, don't forget to cheer xiao fat in the eight-in-four game.
