On October 5, 2023, the table tennis Lanzhou tournament continued, the women's singles broke out unpopular, national table tennis player Liu Weishan eliminated Japan's Hina Hayata 3-1, bringing a surprise to advance to the round of 16, and off-court coach Sun Xun was extraordinary, guiding Liu Weishan to defeat the silver medalist of the Asian Games.
Liu Weishan is a very high player in the national table tennis women's team, has been with the team to participate in international competitions many times, although she can't get a place in the competition, but the number of appearances is okay, so outside fans are still familiar with her, just in the previous match, Liu Weishan narrowly beat teammate Li Yake 3-2, and challenged Japan's Hina Hayata in the second round to compete for a place in the round of 16 in women's singles, and strive for a breakthrough in foreign combat strength.
Hina Hayata ranked 9th in the world, the second person in the Japanese women's team, second only to Mimato Ito, but her personal strength is obviously stronger, the World Table Tennis Championships defeated Wang Yidi to win the bronze, the Asian Games eliminated Wang Yidi to win the silver medal, the performance of the two competitions can be illustrative, now Ito Mimai is not a big threat, on the contrary, Hina Hayata has improved rapidly, and the main force has played back and forth, it is indeed very difficult.
This match does not have much chance of winning, after all, Liu Weishan wants to win the top masters of the foreign association, it is still a little difficult, not to mention that Hina Hayata just won the second place in singles at the Asian Games, and her morale is in good condition, these factors are not good for Liu Weishan, what can be done now is to go all out to fight, try to do their best, strive to play the best level, and play a high-quality match.
The Star Challenge singles adopts a 5-game 3-win system, the first game Liu Weishan performed well, especially the serve was handled in place, which made Hina Hayata very uncomfortable, Liu Weishan played steadily and steadily, taking the lead 11-9, in the second game Liu Weishan still used the previous strategy, looking for opportunities in the first three boards, not fighting with Hina Hayada, and at the end of the game came to 9 draws, Hina Hayata withstood the pressure and won the game 11-9.
In the third game, Liu Weishan changed the serve, the pace was fast and slow, although Hina Hayata had high quality of the board, but there were many senseless mistakes, the overall performance was not stable as the opponent, Liu Weishan led 9-6, and then won another game 11-8, Liu Weishan played relatively simply, that is, to catch the serve and directly grab the attack, strive for a board to pass directly, play less in the far platform, avoid grappling with Hina Hayada, this effect is good.
Liu Weishan's off-court coach is Sun Xun, currently serving as Chen Meng's head coach, now it seems that it is indeed very set, in the fourth game Liu Weishan took advantage of the situation to pursue, insisted on doing a good job of herself, disrupted Hina Hayada's rhythm with a serve, Liu Weishan led 8-5, Hina Hayata called a timeout, and after returning, Liu Weishan ended the game 12-10, and finally eliminated Hina Hayata 3-1, and eliminated Hina Hayada, bringing an unexpected surprise.
