In the group stage of the World Table Tennis Championships, the Hong Kong women's team defeated the Italian women's team 3:0. The first singles of the team competition in Hong Kong, China, was the famous Du Kaixuan, the player who defeated Wang Manyu last year, and this game actually performed very sluggishly. The entry into form was not very fast, but her performance was as stable as ever.
Although the three games were relatively passive, Du Kaixuan still relied on the overall strength advantage to beat the opponent 3-0. Du Kaixuan played against Italy's Deborah, and the first set was a 3-3 game between the two sides. Deborah made a mistake in the forehand and backhand, Du Kaixuan attacked continuously with his forehand, and hit the middle of the road with his backhand, taking an 8:3 lead.
Deborah sent a long ball in the middle and then ate a serve. Du Kaixuan pulled a straight line with his backhand to get the set point 10:4. In the end, Deborah hit the net with a backhand and lost the first set 5:11. Deborah mainly lost points too quickly due to his unnecessary offensive mistakes, and Du Kaixuan's attack had a higher success rate, which was the key to winning the first set.
In the second set, Deborah made a backhand shift to attack to get a 4-2 start. Du Kaixuan pulled a straight line with his forehand and sent a backhand ball to tie the score. After that, the score of the two sides alternately rose, and Deborah took advantage of the sudden acceleration of the forehand and backhand to always occupy the initiative of the attack. Du Kaixuan was slow in the attack, very passive, so he did not shake off the score.
The two sides fought until 10:10, and Deborah stepped down with a backhand. Du Kaixuan served directly to score 12:10 and won the second set with difficulty. If Deborah reduces the offense's turnovers, I believe he will be able to win the second set. By the third set, Deborah had made a mistake in changing the line from his backhand and started 2-4.
Deborah made a mistake in the active line change of forehand, swung short the net, and called a timeout after 3:6. Du Kaixuan attacked sideways with his forehand and changed the line with his backhand to take an 8-3 lead. Deborah then struggled to get an edge on the score and eventually lost the third set 5-11. Du Kaixuan helped the team to make a start, but her form still needs to continue to adjust, this game is too weak.

In the third set, Zhu Chengzhu received the forehand to grab the attack, and the continuous forehand attack made a 4:2 start. Pickering's forehand pressed backhand to chase the score to 3:4, but then Pickering's serve was mistaken and the forehand was off. Zhu Chengzhu quickly led 7:3 with a backhand, followed by Zhu Chengzhu taking the initiative to attack and expand the score to 10:4.
Pickering made consecutive forehand turnovers and eventually lost the third set 5-11. Zhu Chengzhu was completely released in the third game, so he would take a big lead.

The opponent called a timeout, and Pickering's forehand grabbed the big angle and fell behind 1:4.
