In last night's women's singles quarterfinals, although Sun Yingsha won 3-0, the process was also more anxious. Facing Japan's Hina Hayata, Sun Yingsha maintained her lead in the first set to win 11-9. In the second set, Hina Hayata took a 4-0 lead at the start, but Sun Yingsha quickly stabilized the situation and scored consecutive points to win another set 11-7. In the third set, Hayata Hina used a fighting tactic to win the battle, but Sun Yingsha was in full control of the situation and won 11-9 to win 3-0 against Hayata Hina.
Wang Manyu, who played later, faced Austria's Polkanova in the quarter-finals. In the first set, the two were fiercely contested, and there were several equal points on the field, and after 10 draws, Wang Manyu scored two consecutive points to take the next city 12-10. The second set was still difficult to score, and Wang Manyu won 3 consecutive points in one go after the battle was 8 draws, and won another set 11-8. In the third set, Wang Manyu played completely, winning quickly 11-2 and advancing to the women's singles semifinals with a big score of 3-0.
In the lower half of the women's singles, Wang Yidi and Chen Meng defeated Yuan Jiannan and Ishikawa Jiajun in the quarterfinals respectively, and the two will also play in the semifinals. As a result, the WTT Grand Slam women's singles final four is won by Chinese players. Sun Yingsha lost to Wang Manyu in both singles finals at the National Games and the World Table Tennis Championships last year, and the two will once again stage the peak match of Chinese women's table tennis in the semi-finals.
