The WTT Doha Star Competition is about to compete for the singles semi-finals, due to the poor performance of the national table tennis players, the semi-finals have been completely destroyed, and 5 events have not been able to win the championship. However, the three young players of Japanese table tennis, Miyu Kihara, Miyu Kato and Miyu Nagasaki, ushered in a big explosion, not only two of them reached the women's singles semifinals, but also won the women's doubles championship.
Miyu Kihara met veteran Yang Xiaoxin in the quarterfinals of singles, and due to the age gap between the two, coupled with the fact that Miyu Kihara was in the golden period of her career, she beat her opponent 3-1 to advance to the round of 4. It is clear that after the growth of the Tokyo cycle, Kihara's competitiveness in the Paris cycle has skyrocketed. Some time ago, with the results of the top 4 women's singles in the Japan Round of 32, she directly qualified for the Chengdu Team World Table Tennis Championships, and the last stop in the Doha regular season, Kihara Miyu, also won the women's doubles championship.
Miyu Kihara and Miyu Nagasaki won the women's doubles championship again, becoming an important reserve force for the Japanese table tennis women's team. Although the most powerful women's doubles duo in Japanese table tennis is Now Ito Mimachi / Hayata Hina, it is not excluded that Miyu Kihara and Miyu Nagasaki will become the new main combination. Miyu Kihara will attack the doubles, and if the singles match can also reach the final, Kihara Miyu will be the big winner of the Doha Star Tournament.
Miyu Kato's performance was even more courageous, eliminating a Korean sister Tian Zhixi 3-1 in the quarterfinals. If you talk about competition experience alone, Tian Zhixi is far above Miyu Kato. However, the recent decline in Tian Zhixi's state has been serious, during the Grand Slam, he suffered a round of travel, the last regular season was also missed in advance of the top 4, this time the star game fell outside the top four, and the position of South Korea's first sister may have to be given to Shin Yubin in the future. And Miyu Kato not only eliminated Tian Zhixi, but also eliminated the regular season women's singles champion Fan Siqi in the first round of the main game, and the competitive state was very hot.
Although Miyu Kato did not participate in the women's doubles competition, her outstanding performance in the singles competition also greatly increased her self-confidence, and Miyu Kato will attack the women's singles champion. The two young players of the Japanese table tennis reached the women's singles final four, which is extremely rare.
In contrast, Nagasaki Miyu's performance in the singles field is slightly behind. Although the first round of the main tournament eliminated the national table tennis player Liu Weishan, but then lost to Chinese Taipei main Force Chen Siyu, the overall performance was not as good as the two teammates. But with the women's doubles champion in hand, Nagasaki Miyu can at least comfort herself. And being able to eliminate Liu Weishan is enough to prove the progress of Nagasaki Yuzu. It should be known that Liu Weishan won the Slovenian regular season women's singles championship last year, and the overall strength is not under Nagasaki Miyu, and the result is still won by the Japanese table tennis player.
The overall performance of the Japanese table tennis women's team in the star competition is stronger than that of the national table tennis women's team, which can also be seen that the strength of the non-main players in the national table tennis really cannot stop the Japanese table tennis women's team, or the main players are needed to block the Japanese table tennis.
