Beijing time on May 26, Durban World Table Tennis Championships is about to usher in the seventh competition day, and the gold medalist of the mixed doubles event will also be the first to be born tonight, the previous champion from China Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha has advanced to the final round, and the last runner-up of the Japanese team won Tomokazu / Hina Hayata also reached the final for the second time, what a narrow road!
In addition, the national table tennis will also meet with Tomokazu Changmoto, Mimato Ito, Hina Hayata in the singles event, and the doubles will also encounter Miyu Kihara / Miyu Nagasaki, and today the two teams will meet five times, and athletes from South Korea, Denmark and Egypt will also become our roadblocks, a total of ten new foreign battles are waiting for the national table tennis, must be prevented! See below for detailed schedules and highlights.
In the first six days of competition, the mixed doubles finals list has been released, the men's and women's doubles semifinals, singles eight finals are also ready to play, and the first ball on May 26 will determine the ownership of the first gold medal, the mixed doubles champion and runner-up combination of the last World Table Tennis Championships - Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha, Zhang Benzhi and Hina Hayata meet again, and the match is scheduled to be held at 19:00 in the evening.
Although Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha's results, rankings and meeting records are relatively better, the performance of the two of them in this World Table Tennis Championships is not very ideal, and they almost did not survive the semifinals, 0-1, 1-2 behind the Hong Kong combination of Huang Zhenting/Du Kaixuan, and finally 3-2 thrilling overturn, so the final against the stronger Zhang Benzhi and / Hina Hayata must also be prepared for difficulties.
After the mixed doubles final, at 20:00 in the evening, National Table Tennis will usher in the second team battle, that is, Wang Manyu VS Chen Xingtong - Wang Manyu was an overwhelming advantage over Chen Xingtong before, but the singles state of the two in this World Table Tennis Championships is very average, the former narrowly defeated the Ukrainian player 4-3, and the latter defeated the veteran Chinese Taipei 4-3, so it is really difficult to say who can win the quarterfinals.
At the same time period, there was also a China-Japan women's doubles battle, Chen Meng/Wang Yidi, who had just eliminated Mimato Ito/Hina Hayada, met a strong opponent again, that is, Miyu Kihara / Miyu Nagasaki, who was ranked number one in the world: although the results of this Japanese pair are far inferior to two-time runner-up winners Mimato Ito / Hina Hayada, but their strength is likely to be even better, and National Table Tennis should be careful!
At 20:40, Fan Zhendong will face Egypt's dark horse Omar, who knocked out the previous runner-up Moregaard, but it may not be so easy to break through the main defense line of the national table tennis force, of course, Xiao Fat can not be careless. At the same time, the German and South Korean players will play the men's doubles semifinals, and Ochalov/Francesca will challenge the previous runners-up Jang Yujin/Lim Jong-hoon, and the victory is unpredictable.
At 21:20, the focus battle came, Liang Jingkun fought Zhang Benzhihe again - in March, Liang Jingkun won Zhang Benzhihe, I hope he can maintain his advantage and continue to resist Japan successfully! In addition, Sun Yingsha will play against German chipper Han Ying, and the last time the two met was Sun Yingsha narrowly won 3-2, so the strength of the opponent must not be underestimated.
At 22:00, the much-anticipated match between Chen Meng and Mimato Ito is finally coming, although the two only met in the women's doubles not long ago, but in terms of women's singles, they have not met for three years. In the past, Chen Meng has won four consecutive victories against Mimato Ito undefeated, and I expect her to win this time. As for Wang Chuqin's opponent is Danish dark horse Lind, it should not be difficult to advance if he plays normally.
At 0:30 a.m. the next morning, Wang Yidi, who had just eliminated Japanese world champion Miyu Hirano, will face another Japanese star, Hina Hayada. Judging from the performance of the recent period, Hina Hayata can already be called the "first sister" of Japanese women's table tennis, and her strength is definitely stronger than Miyu Hirano, so Wang Yidi has to seriously prepare for this opponent.
At 1:10, the national table tennis men's doubles "Dumiao" Fan Zhendong / Wang Chuqin appeared against the Korean pair Lee Sang-so/Cho Dae-sung. In the last World Table Tennis Championships, we lost miserably in this project and didn't even make it to the final, and this time Lee Sang-so/Cho Dae-sung pulled the defending champion Falk/Karlsson off the horse, the state is very good, the "fat head" combination should be careful.
At 1:50, Sun Yingsha/Wang Manyu will face Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin, relatively speaking, the level of Korean women's doubles is far worse than that of men's doubles, so our pressure is not very great in this match. At 2:30, Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan staged the men's singles derby battle, Lin Gaoyuan was defeated against Ma Long before, so can he win his senior brother once? The suspense remains!
The peak battle of the table tennis world is about to break out, and finally let's cheer for the athletes of national table tennis!
