On June 20, Beijing time, the women's singles final of the table tennis WTT Peru tournament came to an end, and the 20-year-old Japanese star Nagasaki Miyu fought hard for 7 rounds and lost all his achievements, losing 3-4 to Germany's Mitcom.
Prior to this, Nagasaki Miyu had defeated the national table tennis world champion Zhu Yuling, the Japanese Olympic champion Ito Mimachi and other top table tennis masters, and this Peru tournament knocked out the top seed of the women's singles, the world's 9th place Diaz, originally regarded by everyone as the big hit to win the championship, did not expect that this time let the victory slip away from the hand, it seems that competitive sports are really full of uncertainty!
Born in 2002, Nagasaki Miyu has become famous as early as 3 years ago, when she was only 17 years old, she was already a potential successor to the main layer of Japanese women's table tennis, and defeating Zhu Yuling for 2 consecutive times made her reputation more famous, but then somehow there was a big step back, some Japanese netizens revealed that they may be related to the men's team young player Yukiya Utada, but it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
In recent years, Nagasaki Miyu has mainly appeared as a doubles athlete, partnering with Miyu Kihara, born in 2004, once ranking first in the world, and defeating the national table tennis world champion group Sun Yingsha / Wang Manyu, and this year her singles has finally improved.
In March 2022, Nagasaki Miyu broke the scoring in the Japan Round of 32, pulling Olympic champion Ito Mimako to the list, and then selected for the World Table Tennis Championships list, and this is also her first time in the top 5 main squads in the team, which is a major leap in her career, and there are not many masters participating in this WTT Peru competition, Nagasaki Miyu is naturally like a fish, shining.
After the match began, Nagasaki Miyu met world No. 9 Puerto Rican diaz in the 3rd round of the women's singles, which became the most difficult game on her way to the promotion, and she fell behind 1-2 at one point, but finally won 3-2.
In the following semi-finals, Nagasaki Miyu defeated Chinese Taipei athlete Su Pei Aya 4-2, and her final opponent was the World No. 16 German Mitham (who was also the No. 2 seed in the women's singles).
Although Mitsum is well above Nagasaki Miyu (no. 99 in the world), she is actually inferior to the Japanese teenager in terms of record, but after the start of the game, the German quickly grasped the initiative on the field, and then won two consecutive 11-9, while Nagasaki Miyu lost 6-11 after pulling back a city 11-7, and was forced into a desperate situation after losing 1-3.
In the fourth and fifth rounds of the game, Nagasaki Miyu was still dancing on the wire rope, first 11-9, and then played 12-10, it was difficult to catch up with the decider, the result was still a failure, and finally lost the whole game 7-11, and did not win the women's singles championship.
Objectively speaking, Nagasaki Miyu's strength is still there - her technique is very malleable, left-handed + near-stage forehand fast pull arc ball + backhand fast tear is eye-catching, and the former World Champion of France Gaiting is very close, which is quite rare in the field of women's table tennis, if the stability is a little higher then the potential is immeasurable.
However, at present, the competition in Japanese women's table tennis is indeed very fierce, Nagasaki Miyu missed the golden development period of 3 years before, and it is not easy to stand firm now, let's wait and see her development after that!
