On the evening of April 27, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Thailand Star Tournament women's singles quarterfinals were all released, and in the last 1/8 final, Puerto Rico's Diaz played well, sweeping Thailand's Black Horse Sutasini 3-0 and successfully qualified.
At this point, the eight finalist seats have been officially determined: in addition to Diaz, there are two people in China and Japan, namely Chen Xingtong, Qu Man, Zhang Benmeihe (Chinese), Nagasaki Miyu, South Korea still has Zhu Qianxi (Chinese), plus Yang Xiaoxin (Chinese) of Monaco, Zhang An (Chinese) of the United States, but then the national table tennis is about to break out in civil war, there will be one person out, it's a pity!
The two teams of China and Japan in Thailand are still the favorites to win the women's singles event, but only five players participated in the national table tennis this time, and the main force only came Chen Xing, so the fight was bumpy, Wu Yangchen stopped in the qualifying round, Qi Fei broke the halberd in the first round of the main event, Chen Yi was reversed by Zhu Qianxi after winning consecutive strong opponents Ni Xialian and Yuan Jianan, and fell to the last hurdle before advancing to the quarterfinals.
Chen Xingtong and Qu Man played relatively consistently, the former defeated South Korean Olympic star Shin Yubin 3-0, the latter defeated Chinese Taipei world runner-up Zheng Yijing 3-1, but then the two will meet in the 1/4 final, destined to only one advance to the semifinals.
The Japanese team did not send Mimato Ito, Hina Hayada, and Yoshijun Ishikawa to participate this time, but the higher ranked two were defeated, World Cup champion Miyu Hirano lost 0-3 to Zhang An, World Junior Champion Miyu Kihara lost 0-3 to teammate Miyu Nagasaki, 14-year-old Zhang Motomi and the outside world played bravely, 3-0 beat Austria's European Championship champion Polkanova, becoming an important pillar of the team.
Yang Xiaoxin played a brave match against Romania's Szokos, easily advancing 3-0, and the opponent had a bit of a mental breakdown. And Diaz also had a big advantage over Utassini, and in the end he also passed 3-0 and got the last ticket to the promotion.
The next arrangements for the women's singles quarterfinals are: Chen Xingtong VS Qu Man, Zhang Benmei and VS Zhu Qianxi, Nagasaki Miyu VS Yang Xiaoxin, Diaz VS Zhang An. I have to say that the two sides of these four games are evenly matched, and whoever loses and wins is possible - don't look at Chen Xing's highest rank in the same segment, but she was fully inferior to Quang Man before, and this time she may not lose to the other party.
As for Zhu Qianxi and Yang Xiaoxin's strength is very strong, it is completely possible to overturn the two Japanese players, and Diaz and Zhang An are outstanding representatives of the American table tennis scene, and they are familiar with each other, and the same victory is unpredictable, so let's sit and wait for the quarterfinals to start!
