The WTT Macau Championship officially kicked off on October 19.
In a women's singles first-round match, Wang Yidi, one of the five main players of Chinese women's table tennis, faced the 14-year-old Egyptian teenager Gundam.
Since the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Yidi has made obvious progress, participating in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time last year, reaching the women's singles quarterfinals, and defeating Sun Yingsha twice in a row in this year's Budapest series.
Wang Yidi is also believed by many fans to have the hope of impacting the Paris Olympics.
Gundam is an Egyptian athlete, only 14 years old this year, but once participated in the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships this year, and is also regarded as Egypt's future star.
Of course, from the perspective of strength, Wang Yidi should far surpass his opponent, and there should be basically no suspense in the game.
Sure enough, in the first game, Hannah Gouda was not afraid to face Wang Yidi, and the competition between the two was very fierce, and Wang Yidi took a 5-3 lead in the opening game.
But Gundam played very tenaciously, Wang Yidi never opened the score, but at the critical moment, Wang Yidi made a decisive move and won the first game with a score of 11-8!
Judging from the first game, although the Egyptian player is young and has a big gap with Wang Yidi in terms of strength, he is still very daring to make a shot in the game.
In the second game, Gundam changed his way of serving, and at the same time fought fiercely in the first three boards.
In the face of the changes in Hannah Gundam, Wang Yidi was obviously a little uncomfortable, and there were too many undeserved mistakes!
Gundam quickly took a 6-1 lead in the opening game, a result that many fans may not have expected!
But fortunately, Wang Yidi is still far superior to his opponent in terms of personal strength, in the face of the backward situation, Wang Yidi did not give up, strengthened the first three boards of the rush, Wang Yidi gradually chased the score to 9 draws, and finally won another game with a score of 11-9!
In the third game, Wang Yidi opened the game with a 3-0 lead!
However, Gundam played very tenaciously, and the backhand twist was also very characteristic, gradually chasing the score to 6 draws!
But after all, Wang Yidi is experienced, using the change of landing point and rotation to force the opponent to make mistakes, and in the end, Wang Yidi won another game with a score of 11-9, thus defeating the opponent 3-0!
In this match, although Wang Yidi won the final victory, the process of the game was by no means easy, although the opponent was only 14 years old, but he still dared to fight in the game.
In the game, especially in the second game, Wang Yidi appeared to be insufficient in the face of changes in the opponent, which is also what Wang Yidi needs to strengthen in the future.
I hope Wang Yidi can play better in the later games, come on
