Why did Wang Yidi lose to Hina Hayada, but Sun Yingsha maintained a complete victory? The gap between the two is clear
In the table tennis competition of the Hangzhou Asian Games that ended not long ago, Wang Yidi, the main player of national table tennis, suffered another defeat in the foreign battle, and the women's singles lost 3-4 to Japan's Hina Hayata after losing in women's doubles. Just over four months ago, Wang Yidi also lost 3-4 to Hina Hayata in the women's singles match of the World Championship, which made fans regret.
And in sharp contrast to Wang Yidi, Sun Yingsha continuously suppressed Hina Hayata and remained undefeated, of which the World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games have blocked this strong enemy for the Chinese team, and it can be regarded as indirectly "revenge" for Wang Yidi's success, then the question arises: Why has Wang Yidi lost Hina Hayata in a row in recent times, while Sun Yingsha can continue to win? Personally, I think there are two reasons.
First, Sun Yingsha's technique is more comprehensive, while Wang Yidi relies too much on the backhand, and does not have much advantage when encountering Hina Hayada, who is also strong in the backhand.
Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi are both athletes with more comprehensive skills, but there is always a focus, of which Sun Yingsha forehand is fierce, and Wang Yidi backhand is sharper, because the importance of the backhand after the ITTF inorganic glue reform has been greatly improved, so the table tennis world requires top masters "forehand is not weak, backhand is super strong", Wang Yidi also once beat Sun Yingsha and others with his excellent backhand.
But through nearly a year or two of hard work, we can clearly see that Sun Yingsha is consciously increasing her backhand strength, while Wang Yidi has some meaning of standing still, still relying too much on the backhand, and did not strengthen her forehand, which has a situation of going against the tide and retreating if she does not advance, and as Hina Hayata continues to understand herself, she has lost her advantage.
As we all know, Hina Hayata is also a strong backhand and an athlete with average forehand level, although it will not form an overwhelming advantage over Wang Yidi, but at least she will not be afraid of the other party, and because Hina Hayata is taller, so the sense of power to hit the ball is stronger, and the protective platform area when defending is also larger, these are the places where Wang Yidi is not enough.
In addition, Wang Yidi's backhand is a half-bounce half-pull mode, to a certain extent by sacrificing rotation to increase speed, once it cannot stand firmly in the near platform, it is easy to have a serious attenuation of return quality, then it requires forehand and other techniques to cooperate, but Sun Yingsha's forehand is enough to deter Hina Hayada, but Wang Yidi can't do it, and naturally will gradually fall down.
Second, Sun Yingsha's landing point and line awareness are better, and Wang Yidi's return is too rigid, which makes Hina Hayata feel very comfortable and hit the routine that the other party likes.
Wang Yidi also has an obvious problem when playing against Hina Hayada, that is, the landing point and line of the return ball are too rigid, it is easy to make the opponent feel very comfortable, and can make a more accurate prediction - Hina Hayata is a left-handed athlete, originally has the advantage of landing point and line for right-handed players, if Wang Yidi plays too decently, he will definitely fall into passivity.
On the other hand, the battle between Sun Yingsha and Hina Hayada, although it is a right hand to a left hand, but she has many flexible line changes to contain the other party, diagonal, straight, middle, small triangle: Sun Yingsha's forehand is far stronger than Hina Hayada, the backhand does not fall down, but also constantly changes the landing point and line, Hina Hayata is naturally difficult to win.
As mentioned earlier, although Wang Yidi's forehand strength is more than Hina Hayada, but the key moment is too dependent on his backhand, the problem is that in addition to the near speed advantage, the retreat power, overall strength, rotation intensity, and landing point changes can be said to be inferior to Hina Hayada, plus both times the match point is reversed, the opponent will only become less and less afraid of himself.
Think that Wang Yidi rose because of sweeping Japan's strong enemy Mimato Ito, and gradually became a world champion, Asian champion, and national champion, but now he lost to Japan's Hina Hayata in such an important competition as the World Table Tennis Championships and Asian Games at the critical moment of competing for Olympic qualification. Let people leave endless sighs.
