On March 10, The Japan Table Tennis 2022 Asian Games Singles Qualification Tournament, Women's Singles Final: Miyu Hirano vs Miyu Kihara
Miyu Hirano and Miyu Kihara both won three consecutive round-robin round-robins in the group stage, eliminating a number of masters such as Ito Andumasa and Ishikawa Yoshizumi, and finally meeting in the final. This final will determine who will win the only remaining Asian Games women's singles spot.
Hirano Miyu once highlighted the Tokyo Olympic cycle, winning the Asian Championships and the World Cup women's singles championship, but since then it has been in a bottleneck period for a long time, and even missed the Tokyo Olympics singles. This time, she had the opportunity to win the Asian Games singles, which is also held only once every four years, and she is very much hoping to participate.
In the first set, Hirano 1-1, 2-2, 5-2, 5-4, 8-4, 10-5 (set points), 11-6 easily won the first set.
Hirano couldn't help but roar out every point she scored, and it was clear that she was bound to win the Asian Games singles spot.
In the second set, Miyu Kihara was 3-0, 5-2, 6-6, 7-8, the score was reversed and had to ask for a timeout.
Although Hirano Miyu is slightly shorter, she has a fast pace under her feet, balanced front and backhand, and her speed can completely suppress Kihara's play.
Miyu Kihara's victory over Mimachi Ito restrained her forehand, as Ito's backhand was unstable, and this set was ineffective against Miyu Hirano. This is what causes Miyu Kihara to fight for speed, and there is no advantage in fighting short balls.
Back from the suspension, Hirano did not give Miyu Kihara any chance, and won another set 11-8, leading 2:0.
In the third set, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, and they fought until they were 9-8.
At the critical moment, Miyu Kihara switched to a backhand serve, but unfortunately the direct mistake, Hirano Miyu won 2 innings 10-8, and finally won another set 11-9, leading 3:0.
The forehand has no absolute strength, can not penetrate the defense of Hirano Miyu, and the light rubbing short ball cannot control Hirano Miyu's active start, and Kihara Miyu is completely passive.
In the fourth set, Hirano Miyu became more and more courageous, 9-0 strong start, Kihara Miyu tried various methods, a point is difficult to find.
Miyu Hirano held 9 match points 10-1 to win the final set 11-1, winning the final set 4-0 against Miyu Kihara and winning the title as desired, while winning the Women's Singles place at the Asian Games.
In a few days, April 14 will be Hirano's birthday, which is also the best birthday gift for herself when she turns 22.
The 2 contestants of the Japanese table tennis team Asian Games women's singles are Hayata Hina and Hirano Miyu, and the 2 singles players of the national table tennis team are Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha, the women's singles champion should be produced among these four people, who are you optimistic about?
