WTT Macau Championship Women's Singles 1/4 Final, Yuan Jianan 3:1: swept Ishikawa Kazumi to advance to the semifinals strongly, before the match, many people thought that Yuan Jianan met Ishikawa Yoshizumi fierce and lucky, this championship trip will be ended, but did not expect that the dark horse was black to the end, and two world champions were killed in a row!
Yuan Jianan also broke out a big upset in this championship, after five hard games, she defeated world champion Wang Manyu 3:2, and defeated Chinese Taipei's Chen Siyu in the second round to advance to today's quarterfinal. Yuan Jianan is a French-Chinese player, she is thirty-seven years old this year, if she was placed among Chinese table tennis players, she would have retired long ago, but as a member of the overseas legion, she is also the youngest of these active athletes. Like Luxembourg's Ni Xialian is 59 years old, Portugal's Fu Yu is 43 years old, and Germany's Shan Xiaona is 39 years old. They have played in major international competitions all year round, accumulated a lot of injuries in their careers for decades, plagued by injuries, and can maintain a high competitive state, which is indeed admirable!
Yoshizumi Ishikawa, ranked ninth in the world, is a Japanese player preferred by Chinese fans, has maintained a high popularity in China, and she was not seen in the just-concluded Chengdu match, because she lost to Hina Hayada in the Japanese domestic tryouts, so she did not go with the team, and many fans also expressed regret. She also showed high competitive form at the Macau Championship, advancing to the quarterfinals with two 3-0 results in two rounds. With the exit of Wang Manyu and Chen Meng of National Table Tennis, many people think that Ishikawa Yoshizumi has also become a strong contender for the championship of this tournament, but Ishikawa Yoshizumi has not escaped the fate of being eliminated when he meets the dark horse Yuan Jianan this time!
In the first game, Yuan Jianan still maintained his good state since the opening game, Yuan Jianan once played the score to 9:2, making Ishikawa Yoshizumi difficult to parry, although he recovered three points, but to no avail, he still lost the first game at 5:11! In the second game, Yuan Jianan's hand was still very good, and the playing Ishikawa Jiachun was puzzled, completely unaccustomed to Yuan Jianan's playing style, and finally lost 6:11, and Ishikawa Jiachun also showed a painful expression after the game!
After a short adjustment in the third game, I don't know if Yuan Jianan relaxed his vigilance when he led 2:0, or Yoshizumi Ishikawa regained his form, which made Yoshizumi Ishikawa move back to a game at 11:4! In the fourth game, Ishikawa Yoshizumi still did not let go of the burden, and was feared by Yuan Jianan, and finally Yuan Jianan won the game 11:4! A 3:1 aggregate victory over Yoshizumi Ishikawa advanced to the semifinals!
