The WTT World Cup final women's singles draw table has been released, and the 16 participants are distributed in the upper and lower halves. Due to the participation of up to 5 national table tennis, the probability of civil war has skyrocketed. Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi guarded the top half, and Wang Manyu, Chen Xingtong and Chen Meng guarded the lower half, no matter who wants to reach the final, it is a very difficult thing.
Sun Yingsha, as the world's No. 1, is automatically divided into 1/4 zone. The first round opponent was Germany's main Mitterheim, who participated in the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships and Macau Championships, but his performance was mediocre, and it was difficult to resist Sun Yingsha's way to defend her title. The real test was the second round, when the two main players of Japanese table tennis, Miyu Kihara and Yoshizumi Ishikawa, besieged Sun Yingsha. Miyu Kihara has performed strongly this year, and is the leader of the new generation of Japanese table tennis, with the strength to impact Sun Yingsha. Although Yoshizumi Ishikawa did not participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, his strength still exists. Compared with Miyu Kihara's impact, if Sun Yingsha can face Yoshizumi Ishikawa in the 1/4 final, she has a better chance of advancing to the final four.
The competitiveness of the 2/4 zone is not great, and Wang Yidi faced South Korea's first sister Tian Zhixi in the first round. Due to the influence of age and his limited strength, Tian Zhixi often encounters a round of tours. Although Macau defeated Yoshizumi Ishikawa, the overall strength and Wang Yidi are significantly different, and I am afraid that they will encounter a round again. After Wang Yidi reached the first round, the winner of the 1/4 final against Du Kaixian and Diaz, so there is no big problem in advancing to the final four, and the semifinals are expected to compete with Sun Yingsha for a place in the final.
Competition in the lower half is fierce. Wang Manyu is divided into 3/4 districts, which also has Misei Ito, the first sister of Japanese table tennis. According to the matchup table, Mimako Ito faced Portuguese veteran Fu Yu in the first round, and it was not difficult to advance to the quarterfinals. Wang Manyu faced German veteran Han Ying in the first round, and given that Macau lost to Yuan Jianan in an upset, Wang Manyu could not take the veteran lightly. When Wang Manyu and Misei Ito successfully pass the first round, the 1/4 final duo will compete fiercely. Misei Ito lost to Chen Xingtong in Macau last time, and this time he encountered Wang Manyu to block it, and the difficulty of advancing to the final four can be imagined.
Zone 4/4 has Macau singles runner-up Chen Xingtong, and Olympic singles champion Chen Meng. Chen Xingtong's recent form has been hot, and the victory over Wang Yidi to reach the final of the Macau competition is a clear example. In the first round, he faced veteran Yang Xiaoxin, who has been in hot form in Europe recently, once squeezed into the world's top ten, and Chen Xingtong needs to play steadily.
Chen Meng faced veteran Yuan Jianan in the first round, the player who eliminated Wang Manyu in the Macau Competition. Since the opponent can defeat the main force of national table tennis, Chen Meng is also upset in Macau, and he can't relax in the face of Yuan Jianan. If Chen Xingtong and Chen Meng play steadily, the national table tennis can lock a top four seat in an early round. In addition, the four communities have the main press, and they can even win the World Cup Final Four. The civil war between the two in the 1/4 final will also become the focus of the event, and the pressure to advance in the second half is much greater than in the first half.
