The table tennis Asian Cup has officially started, Wang Yidi and Chen Xing, the two main female table tennis players representing the national table tennis team. Wang Yidi took the lead in ending the 1/8 final, sweeping Akasheva 4-0 to advance to the semifinals. Due to the overall strength of the opponent, Wang Yidi ended the game in less than half an hour, and the score of the four games was 11:2/11:6/11:3/11:6, and the opponent only scored 2 points in a single game, which is enough to see the easy win of this game. For Wang Yidi, the first round is not a tough battle, and Hina Hayada, the main player of Japanese table tennis behind, and Chen Xingtong, a teammate in the second half, are the targets that Wang Yidi needs to focus on.
Wang Yidi's strength and achievements have improved by leaps and bounds in the past two years, not only reaching the final four of the World Series in a row, but also winning the women's singles championship in the recently concluded national championship, but also helping Liaoning team win the women's team championship. Before the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, Wang Yidi was also one of the five members, even if he did not play in the final, but Wang Yidi's performance in the group stage was remarkable.
Due to the competitive pressure within the women's table tennis, although Wang Yidi ranks among the top ten in the world, only three team members have the opportunity to appear in the Olympic Games, and given the dominance of Chen Meng, Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi is likely to miss the official list of the Paris Olympics. Unless you can squeeze out the first three main forces before the Olympics, Wang Yidi will get the Olympic P card at most. And Wang Yidi's opponent in the 1/4 final has been released, that is, Shin Yubin, the future core of the Korean team.
Shen Yubin met Thailand's Olawan in the 1/8 final, compared to Wang Yidi's easy win in four sets, Shen Yubin fought hard in six games to advance to the quarterfinals. The score of the six games is 15:13/11:7/11:13/7:11/11:4/11:5. It is not difficult to see from the score that Shen Yubin's road to the quarterfinals is slightly difficult. As the leader of the new generation of the Korean women's team, Shin Yubin has participated in the Tokyo Olympics, but her results are mediocre and she has not led the rise of the Korean women's team.
Some time ago, he was plagued by injuries and was absent from the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships. Shen Yubin, who returned from injury, has not yet adjusted to his best condition and can only regain his form through international competitions. In the 1/4 final, facing Wang Yidi, the main player of National Table Tennis, Shen Yubin basically decided to stop in the quarterfinals. Whether it is past records or hard power, including the recent competitive state, Shen Yubin is not Wang Yidi's opponent, and it is only a matter of time before he is eliminated. What's more, Wang Yidi needs to use the honor of the Asian Cup women's singles champion to compete for tickets to the Olympic Games, and there is no room for mistakes.
Compared with the talented Japanese table tennis women's team, the South Korean team is experiencing a crisis. Not to mention that the first sister Tian Zhixi has frequently encountered a round of travel in recent times, and the future first sister Shen Yubin is suffering from injuries, and other main players are not worth mentioning. If the South Korean team follows the current trend, the Paris Olympics will be painful memories again. In any case, National Table Tennis expects more tough opponents to promote the development of this sport.
