Table tennis WTT Usa Westchester fierce battle is in full swing, Beijing time on May 16, the women's singles final officially kicked off, the Japanese team's 16-year-old chipping player, known as "Xiao Zhang Yining" nickname Xiaoyan Yaocai once again appeared, and the American famous player, Lin Gaoyuan's mixed doubles old partner Zhang An competed for the championship.
In the last game in the United States, Xiaoyan Yaocai had swept Zhang An 4-0, but in the end he failed to fight to the end, losing to his teammates in the final and ranking second. And this time, although Zhang An came out on top, he immediately lost 4 consecutive sets and was reversed, of which the third set was blasted out by the other side to score 11-0, which was really tragic!
Xiaoyan Yaocai is the new hope of the Japanese women's table tennis cutting school in recent years, although she is young, but the basic skills are solid, the cutting technique is skilled, the counterattack also has a certain threat, the talent is still very good, but limited by the way of play, most people are not optimistic about its development prospects, mainly because she looks like Zhang Yining and is well known by fans.
Relatively speaking, Zhang An's fame is even greater, because she is the champion of the Americas after all, and has reached the final four of the Women's Singles of the World Cup (defeated the Japanese world champion Miyu Hirano), so the previous 0-4 defeat to Xiaoyan Haruka is very surprising, and everyone also wants to see if she can turn the tables this time.
After the game began, the two sides played hard in the first set, and as a result, the more experienced Zhang An scored consecutively after 14 draws, and then came out on top with a difficult 16-14. However, in the second set, Zhang An completely collapsed, and as a result, he was hit 11-3 by Xiaoyan Yaocai, and some of them were not sure about the opponent's ball rotation.
In the third set, Xiaoyan Yaocai was leading the opening game, Zhang An made frequent mistakes, and was actually beaten 11-0 by Xiaoyan Yaocai, which was really tragic! In the fourth set, Zhang An started 0-6 behind again, but this time she finally avoided the tragedy of being "shaved off" again, but in the end she only took 3 points, 3-11 and was forced into a desperate situation!
In the fifth set, Zhang An had no way to retreat, and could only fight with Xiaoyan Yaocai, but although she fought very fiercely after playing, she was still full of mistakes, and finally lost the whole game 4-11, and the Japanese team also won 3 championships (women's singles, women's doubles, men's doubles) to end the Westchester race.
How to say it, although Zhang An lost to Xiaoyan Yaocai last time, but from the technical, ranking, historical achievements and other aspects, her fiasco is still incredible, so we can also see the strength gap between the United States and Japan in the table tennis world - so can Xiaoyan Yaocai threaten the national table tennis in the future? Let's wait for the next day she plays against the Chinese team!
