At the end of this year, there are two very important competitions in the international table tennis arena, namely the Macau Champions Cup, which will be held in mid-October, and the final of the WTT World Cup at the end of the year, both of which are very high in level and the prize money, including the ability of the players to participate. According to the rules, the two competitions invite the top 32 players in the world ranking and the top 16 players in the world to participate.
In terms of men's table tennis, all the best players will come to compete, and for the Chinese men's team, the competitive pressure is still relatively large. Like the Swedish famous player Moregaud, who has put a lot of pressure on us at the World Table Tennis Championships before, including the Brazilian veteran Hugo, who has not been able to walk in front of the Chinese team, and Lin Yunru, who has not participated in the World Table Tennis Championships, will participate. Of course, the most concerned here is the Japanese star Zhang Benzhihe, in the World Table Tennis Championships, he defeated Wang Chuqin and Fan Zhendong in a row, and became famous in one battle, this player will be our opponent in these two competitions.
Relatively speaking, the pressure on the women's team is not particularly large. After entering 2022, the four main players of the Chinese team, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Wang Yidi, have not lost any foreign battles, this undefeated record has continued to the previous World Table Tennis Championships, the Chinese team is also 3:0 to win the championship, compared to the men's team in the semi-final encountered thrilling moments, the women's team can be said to win is very easy. At present, the four main players of the Chinese women's team are really difficult to have players who can beat them, and in this stall, as the biggest or only opponent of the Chinese team that can still create a little trouble for the Chinese team, the Japanese team has a not very good thing.
At present, the highest ranked player in the Japanese women's team, Hina Hayata, who is also the fifth in the world, is sure to give up the two major events at the end of this year, the Champions Cup competition and the final of the World Cup at the end of the year, and the Japanese women's team can only rely on this Ito Mijo to support the banner. Ito's state is not particularly stable, let alone playing with the players of the Chinese team, that is, facing some players who are not as good as her foreign teams, her stability is not particularly high. Of course, it can be seen at the World Table Tennis Championships, as the leader of the Japanese team, or show a certain strength, relatively speaking, the stability has been improved compared to the previous races.
Fans for the absence of Hayada Hina is probably already expected, because when participating in the World Table Tennis Championships, Hayada Hina's chances of playing are very rare, it is said that her strength should not be so, especially in the final, facing the Chinese team such a game, even did not be able to play, at that time everyone doubted whether Hayada Hina suffered an injury, and now this situation is verified, it seems that the injury situation is still relatively serious. If the current Champions Cup match is not played, this is still relatively normal, the WTT World Cup final at the end of the year has two months to play, in this case it was announced early to withdraw from this game, it can indeed be seen that Hina Hayata's injury is not very optimistic.
At last year's Tokyo Olympics, especially after the World Table Tennis Championships, Ito Misei suffered a huge psychological blow, frequently losing to the Chinese team's players, causing her state to plummet. At the All Japan Table Tennis Championships held in March this year, Ito Mijo was defeated by Hina Hayata. Hina Hayata was originally trained as a doubles player, but her outstanding performance in singles results also allowed the Japanese team to give her a lot of opportunities, and she also seized the opportunity to surpass Ito Mijo after taking several good results in the sub-station competition, becoming the highest-ranked player in the Japanese women's team.
Therefore, her strength should not be under Itomi Castle. If she comes to compete, it should make these members of the Chinese women's team sweat a little more. Now only rely on an unstable Ito Mijo, as we said before, if she is in this state, whether she can go to the Chinese team will be a problem. Therefore, the two major competitions at the end of this year, if there is no accident, do not say that the championship must be won by the Chinese team, and it is estimated that the civil war of the Chinese team will appear in the top four.
