Table tennis WTT Doha Star Tournament is in full swing, on the afternoon of March 31, Beijing time, the second semi-final of the women's singles came to an end, 17-year-old Japanese young player Miyu Kihara appeared again after winning the women's doubles championship, and played against Chinese Taipei star Chen Siyu, resulting in Kihara Miyu winning a 4-0 victory and sweeping the promotion, about to compete with the German Chinese famous Han Ying for the championship.
It is worth mentioning that Kihara Miyu and Fukuhara Ai and Ishikawa Yoshizumi directly exchanged Chinese with the instructor off the field, it seems that this coach is also from China: the Japanese team is fully learning the technical and tactical concept of national table tennis, not only has Zhang Benzhi and such Chinese athletes to play for it, many coaches are also indispensable, worthy of vigilance.
Born in 2004, Miyu Kihara is one less olympic cycle than Sun Yingsha, Ito Mimachi and others, but is already the runner-up in Japan's national singles, and the women's doubles has also ranked first in the world, winning sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu, the strength is very outstanding, known as it is the successor of Ito Mimachi, the future potential opponent of national table tennis in the world championships.
Chen Siyu's results are not high, low, but the basic skills are very solid, this competition defeated Kibara Miyu's women's doubles partner Nagasaki Miyu, the last round also eliminated the national table tennis rubber player Zhang Rui, and now facing the same style of play Kihara Miyu naturally has a lot of experience, so this battle is a bit suspenseful.
After the game started, both sides were testing each other's ball path at the beginning, so they played a bit conservatively and made mistakes. After the middle game, the two began to free their hands and feet to attack, and as a result, Kimihara Miyu was superior, winning the top spot with a narrow victory of 12-10, suppressing the opponent in terms of speed.
In the second set, Chen Siyu still played very passively, and was quickly taken by the opponent to get 4 innings, and then lost 7-11. However, in the third set, Chen Siyu was still defeated, and as a result, he lost 5-11, and was forced into a desperate situation after a big score of 0-3, and Kihara Miyu was only one step away from victory.
In the fourth set, Chen Siyu fought backwaters, and although he played with Kihara Miyu to the last 2 points, he was finally defeated 9-11, and the big score was swept 0-4, and Kihara Miyu also reached the final again after the women's doubles, just one step away from the championship!
At present, It seems that Kihara Miyu's technology is indeed very good, and the advantage of age also makes her very hopeful to rise in the Olympic cycle in 2024 or 2028 - at present, the only people who can stabilize her in Japanese women's table tennis may be Ito Mimachi and Hayata Hina, so if she works harder, she may definitely impact the top three main lineups.
But before that, let's see how she performed in the women's singles final!
