After watching tonight's 2 semi-finals, the most collapsed should be foreign female players, 4 players with such a strong strength, all from the national table tennis, how terrifying! It was as if the dark clouds floating above the heads of foreign players made them see no hope. These four players, ranging from 21 to 28 years old, can play for many years. The dominance of the national table tennis women's team is really too strong.
