Current affairs hot headlines: Asian Championships national table tennis final four, Chen Xingtong's defeat of Miyu Hirano caused heated discussions
In the Asian Championships National Table Tennis Final Four, the four main players successfully advanced, among which Chen Xingtong in the first half successfully defeated Miyu Hirano, and this match became the focus and was the most valuable matchup. In an interview, Chen Xingtong showed confidence against India's Esika, suggesting that Miyu Hirano was not her most difficult opponent. This victory also avenged Sun Yingsha to a certain extent, because Sun Yingsha had lost to Miyu Hirano many times.
Chen Xingtong's form has been good, and she has shown her strength in the warm-up matches, and this hot form has continued in the Asian Championships.
Not only did she excel against Miu Hirano, she also managed to win three sets in a row under pressure from an Indian player. Not only that, but her mind is also more relaxed and full of confidence for the upcoming semi-final match with Sun Yingsha.
Chen Xingtong said that she has no pressure to fight against Sun Yingsha, because she has not been able to defeat Sun Yingsha in the past two years, so this match is an opportunity for her, an opportunity to fight. She intends to adopt a strategy of active attack, because she understands that only by actively attacking can there be any hope of winning. This relaxed mindset plays a positive role in the game.
For Sun Yingsha, this will be a big challenge because she needs to maintain a relaxed mind during the game to improve her hand. Chen Xingtong also pointed out that many national table tennis players have found ways to limit Sun Yingsha, especially in the receiving service, she is prone to mistakes. Although Sun Yingsha is improving this problem, she does not succeed every time.
In terms of backhand technique, Chen Xingtong is on par with Sun Yingsha, but to win, it is not enough to rely on the backhand. She needs more variation in tactics, especially against Sun Yingsha's forehand technique.
This includes adjusting the position of the shot, creating opportunities. Sun Yingsha's backhand has excellent spin and speed, so Chen Xingtong needs to actively control the tempo of the game and guide Sun Yingsha into an unfavorable position to get a chance to score.
Chen Xingtong can also learn from the experience of other players, such as Qian Tianyi, to strengthen the connection between the forehand and backhand, and bravely play consecutive forehand attacks with Sun Yingsha. Although this strategy may not succeed in the first attempt, but if she sticks with it, she has a chance to defeat Sun Yingsha.
Chen Xingtong has not defeated Sun Yingsha for a long time, and her goal now is to break through Sun Yingsha's defenses.
At the same time, the semi-final between Wang Yidi and Wang Manyu also attracted widespread attention. Wang Yidi performed well in the doubles and mixed doubles matches, especially the mixed doubles final.
Wang Manyu's past results are favorable to Wang Yidi, but her mentality fluctuates greatly. Although Wang Yidi is young, he is more decisive in attack. Wang Manyu needs to control the rhythm of the game, not only to lead, but also to take the initiative to attack, rather than relying on the opponent's mistakes.
The outcome of the previous meeting between the two sides is difficult to predict, and the details will determine the direction of the match. This semi-final is crucial for both players, as only the winner will advance to the final to compete for the title.
