On December 16, the WTT2023 Table Tennis Women's Finals took place on the second day of competition in Nagoya, Japan. In the women's singles 1/4 finals, Chinese players Chen Xingtong, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha all defeated their respective opponents and won the women's singles semifinals in advance.

Chen Meng in the game

On the evening of the 15th, Chen Meng just defeated Hina Hayada with a score of 3:2, which was also Chen Meng's seventh consecutive victory against Hina Hayata. Although the game was won, the game was quite difficult - Chen Meng and Hina Hayada drew in the first four games, and only won the tiebreaker with 11:7.

Chen Meng said after the game that such a score is normal: "Everyone's performance is also between the best, and the process of serving is still a little not resolute, the opponent is a little fierce, and he is a little messy." However, when the big score is 1:2 behind, I still summarize it in time on the field, I think it is normal to have small problems during the game, as long as you can win in the end, it is okay to make up for it on the field. ”

Hina Hayata, who lost the match, also cried in an interview, saying that she would enrich her offensive tools before the Paris Olympics, and that she was still in the trial-and-error stage. "We're running out of time before the Olympics and I've worked on one or two different things that I hope will be used in the competition, and we'll turn our strength into motivation and it's a battle for the future. Hina Hayada said.

Misei Ito in the game

In the eight-in-four game, Chen Meng met Misei Ito, the only seedling of the Japanese team. The two sides have played each other 6 times in the international arena before, and Chen Meng has maintained all victories, and his comprehensive strength is obviously superior. In this tournament, Misei Ito, who was playing at home, defeated Diaz 3:1 in the first round and became the only remaining host player among the quarterfinals.

Chen Meng showed tenacity and excellent technique, losing three games in straight sets, 11-8, 11-2 and 11-6, defeating Misei Ito 3-0 and knocking out two host players in succession to advance to the semi-finals. Chen Meng also rewrote his record against Misei Ito to 7-0. In an interview with the media, Chen Meng said: "Ito Misei is also a strong opponent, and I was able to win today because the rhythm on the court was better controlled, and the pre-match preparation was more sufficient. ”

And Ito Misei once again hid her face and cried in an interview after the game.

World No. 1 Sun Yingsha faced German veteran Han Ying in the second round for the final semi-final spot, and the two sides have met five times before, and Sun Yingsha has won all of them. In this battle, Sun Yingsha, who was even stronger, defeated Han Ying with a big score of 14:12, 11:4 and 11:7 and successfully advanced to the semifinals. Sun Yingsha said after the game that the rhythm of the game was good, and she and Chen Meng successfully met in the semifinals, and then enjoyed the game more and focused on every point.
