The Asian Table Tennis Championships continued on September 4, 2023, and the first stage of the women's team competition was successfully concluded. China eliminated Iran with a 3-0 victory in this round and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's team. In this match, Wang Manyu and Chen Xing led all the way and kept a clean sheet, while Wang Yidi lost a game in a narrow victory. Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, the two main players, chose to take turns, and this time, the coaching staff once again fine-tuned the lineup and gave Chen Xingtong the opportunity to play.
Unlike other seeded teams, the Chinese women's team needs to play steadily from the first stage. In the group stage, the Chinese women's team won 3-0 in both rounds, winning consecutive games against Malaysia and Chinese Taipei. The only loss was when Chen Meng played against Huang Yihua, and the only main player who did not play was Chen Xingtong. In the knockout stage, the Chinese women's team faced Iran, and the opponent's strength was far from the Chinese team, and the result of the match lost its suspense early.
In the following match, Wang Yidi faced Iran's Shah Savari. At the beginning of the match, Wang Yidi won the first set 11-7. However, in the second game, Wang Yidi experienced some fluctuations, which led to Shah Savari to win the game 11-9. The Iranian far exceeded expectations, causing some nervousness in the Chinese team. However, in the third game, Wang Yidi stabilized the situation and narrowly won 11-9 to secure his victory. Subsequently, Wang Yidi played steadily, but his opponent Shah Savari failed to find an effective countermeasure, and finally lost the match 11-2, Wang Yidi won 3-1.
The Chinese women's team has won three consecutive Asian Championships, beating Malaysia, Chinese Taipei and Iran. Although Chen Meng and Wang Yidi lost a game in one of the matches, the others ended in clean sheets. Japan remains China's number one rival and the two sides are expected to meet in the final, when the highlight of the tournament will be officially staged.
