The ITTF WTT Grand Slam is in full swing, and the current competition has entered a white-hot situation, but in recent days, the WTT Grand Slam has exploded a big cold, ito Mimachi lost to the Chinese veteran Yuan Jianan of the French team in the women's singles competition!
Before participating in the WTT Grand Slam, Ito Has been spitting out wild words, and repeatedly said in public interviews that she has been closed to polish her skills for a long time and will beat all the opponents of Chinese women's table tennis in the WTT arena to win the women's singles championship! In fact, Ito Mimachi also has this strength to fight with Wang Manyu, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, who are Chinese women's table tennis. Before the match with Yuan Jiannan, most fans and the media believed that Ito Mimachi would take Yuan Jiannan lightly.
Ito Mimachi himself did not pay attention to the 36-year-old Yuan Jiannan at all, because Ito Mimachi focused all his attention on the next round of the Chinese women's volleyball team Wang Yidi, in November 2021, Ito Ando and Wang Yidi met at the World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Yidi easily defeated Ito Mimachi 4:1, so Ito Mimachi can't wait to prepare for revenge on Wang Yidi in the next round, and Ito's carelessness also made her pay the price.
In addition to the defeat in the first set, the 36-year-old Yuan Jiannan easily eliminated Ito Mimako in the next three straight sets, and Ito Mimachi cried again after the game! Repeatedly bold words but have been punched in the face again and again, and now in the WTT arena, even the Face of Chinese Women's Table Tennis has been eliminated, and it is no wonder that Ito Mimachi is difficult to accept his performance. After losing to Yuan Jiannan, Ito was also angrily rebuked by the Japanese domestic media.
Japanese media said that Ito Mimachi actually lost to the world's 67th-ranked veteran Yuan Jiannan, which is the first time in nearly 3 years that Ito has lost to a non-Chinese women's table tennis national team in an international competition, creating a very humiliating record. At the same time, the Japanese media also believes that in the face of Yuan Jiannan's composure, Ito Mimachi was completely disrupted, and it can be said that there is no ability to fight back.
Ito Ranks Third in the World, and the strength is still very strong, but the Chinese women's table tennis team has sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Liu Shiwen and Wang Yidi, who have absolute strength, in the face of the layers of Chinese women's table tennis, Ito Has achieved nothing in international competitions in recent years. But this time she lost to veteran Yuan Jiannan, many fans were more surprised, but in the live broadcast after the game, Yuan Jiannan revealed the real reason why she won Ito Mimachi.
What few fans know is that Yuan Jianan is a native of Zhengzhou, Henan Province, once a member of the Henan Provincial Team, and later the national table tennis launched the "Wolf Raising Plan", Yuan Jiannan was naturalized in France, and won the French women's singles championship in 2012, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019. After winning it, Chinese veteran Yuan Jiannan said in a live broadcast: "I also want to be an anti-Japanese hero"! Just eight words show that the veteran has not forgotten the original, naturalized in France for 11 years, represented the French women's table tennis in the Olympic Games and other world competitions, against the Japanese women's table tennis sister Ito Mimako is still playing very energetic, 36 years old to defeat the active world's third Ito Mimachi, is really gratifying.
After Yuan Jiannan defeated Ito Mimachi, he will compete with Wang Yidi, although Wang Yidi is very strong, and the age gap between the two is relatively large, but Yuan Jianan's steady ball style Wang Yidi still can't be careless, I believe Yuan Jianan will also create great trouble for Wang Yidi.
