Just finished in Chengdu ITTF Mixed Team World Cup, another event is coming, the 2023 finale, the WTT Women's Finals will be about to start, this competition, the world's top 16 women's table tennis players gathered, before the game, the organizers also invited them to take a group photo in front of Nagoya Castle, come to a city walk, enjoy the moment of relaxation before the competition.
It is worth mentioning that in this competition, 7 national table tennis players played, namely Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong, Wang Yidi, Qian Tianyi, Zhang Rui, and as the host, the Japanese team is also a number of people, working together to attack the women's singles and women's doubles events, including Hina Hayata, Miwa Zhangmoto, Miyu Kihara, who participated in the mixed team World Cup before, in addition to Misleeve Nagasaki, and Misei Ito, who has not had the opportunity to compete for a long time.
You know, Ito Misei had a bit of an unpleasant quarrel with the Japanese Table Tennis Association before, and many important competitions did not put her on the list, originally after Ishikawa Kasumi retired, the position of the first sister of Japanese table tennis should fall into the hands of Ito Micheng, after all, she still has an Olympic mixed doubles gold medal as capital.
But everyone knows in the later script, Hina Hayada rose to the top and took over the burden of a pure girl, and she performed really well, with responsibility and strength.
So this WTT women's finals, although Ito Misei played in the women's singles event, but the pressure should be greater than everyone, the current schedule has been released, her first opponent Puerto Rico's Diaz, even if she can advance to the next round, will face the winner of Chen Meng and Hina Hayata, the difficulty can be imagined.
The world's best 16 table tennis women, this gathering, should have their own goals and ambitions, before the game the organizers organized everyone "team building", but also hope to relieve tension, from the group photo is not difficult to see, Sun Yingsha standing in the absolute C position, still holding the trophy, Ito Misei standing on the side, too low-key, everyone enjoys it, several female players in the national table tennis are also in a state of elation, Sun Yingsha and Diaz sisterhood is getting stronger and stronger.
