In the mixed doubles semi-finals of the WTT Manchester feeder event, the Hungarian pair of Excci/Madarac swept the Luxembourg pair Ni Xialian/Luca 3-0. The Hungarians won the first game 11-6, the second 11-3 and the third 11-5. Ni Xialian's combination was also very competitive, but there may have been a problem in the pre-game preparation this time, and the result was directly swept by the opponent.
This is also a big upset, women's singles 1/4 finals Zhang An swept Bratenko 3-0, won the first game 11-8, won the second game 11-2, and won the third game 11-4, which may also have something to do with Brathenco's weak strength. This time, Zhang An was able to sweep the opponent, but he still won in hard power.
Huang Yihua defeated Xiao Yaoqian 3-1, Huang Yihua led 2-0 in the first two games, and the opponent pulled back a game 11-5. Huang Yihua narrowly won the last game 16-14 and was almost dragged into the deciding game by Xiao Yaoqian. European player Vivarelli narrowly defeated South Korean star Liang Xiayin 3-2, Vivarelli chased two games in a row after falling behind 1-2, and easily defeated his opponent 11-4 in the deciding game.
It seems that there have been a lot of upsets in this feeder event, and the next eight-in-four game is expected to be more competitive. This feeder event is held in Europe, and the final singles champion is expected to be a European player. South Korea's Kim Na-young, who had performed well before, lost 2-3 to Europe's Moret and lost 9-11 in the deciding game.
The Kinoshita Tokyo Club led by Hayasuke Togami of the Japanese Table Tennis League played against the Okayama Club led by the Warring States table tennis veteran Yan An. In the first set of doubles, Shinozuka Daito/Hayasuke Togami defeated Takaki Niwa/Yan An 2-0. The two games were won 11-7 and 11-6 respectively, and the overall win was easy.
Hayasuke Togami has just participated in the All-Japan Championships, but he is in good form in doubles. In this way, Kinoshita Tokyo Club took the lead to win a point, and in the second set of singles matches, Kinoshita Club's Matsushima Teruku lost 1-3 to veteran Hao Shuai, which was a big upset. Because Matsushima Teruku had defeated Hao Shuai before, but this game Matsushima Teruku fell into a slump.
In the first game, Matsushima Teruku won easily 11-4, and Hao Shuai won the second and third games all by key points, with super grappling ability, and also showed the experience of the veteran. In this way, the first two sets of the two sides were tied at 1-1, and Lin Yunru played the third set for Kinoshita FC and swept Shohei Onodera of Okayama Club 3-0.
Lin Yunru won the first game 11-8, and won the next two games 11-4. In this way, the Kinoshita club once again took the lead in the score, and Lin Yunru's strength showed his strength to crush the opponent. However, Hayasuke Togami lost 1-3 to Yan An in the fourth set, which was also a big upset.
Although Yan An, as a veteran, is not as good as before, he followed the national table tennis to train in Hainan some time ago, and the effect was very good. Yan An won the first two games 11-8 and 11-6, and quickly lost 3-11 in the third game. Hayasuke Togami chased the score to 9-9 after falling behind 5-9 in the fourth game.
Yan An finally won the fourth game 11-9 and was almost dragged into the tiebreaker by the opponent. Hayasuke Togami actually lost to a retired veteran, which shows that he has indeed fallen into ups and downs in form in recent times. In the All-Day Championship, he has been suppressing Tomokazu Zhangmoto, but Tomokazu Zhang has eight match points in a row.
Hayasuke Togami still has a long way to go before he becomes a great player on the international stage. Tomokazu continued his good form, not only winning the All-Day Championship, but also leading the team to defeat the opponent in the league, scoring two points alone. In the deciding set, Lin Yunru defeated Hao Shuai 1-0 and won 11-9. Lin Yunru scored two points alone and led the Kinoshita club to victory.
In addition, Hina Hayada will lead the Nippon Life Club against the Nippon Paint Club, and Hina Hayada will mainly play in the first set of doubles in this league, and will not play in singles. Sun Mingyang, who has performed well in the Japan Life Club, will face the No. 1 singles player in the Japan Paint Club, Satsuki Oto.
Sun Mingyang was indeed expected to have high hopes this time, and he also defeated Zhang Benmeihe in the last league game. Sun Mingyang faced the impact of Japanese table tennis players, and did not have an advantage in speed but had the advantage of protecting the platform area. The Japanese Paint Club's Hashimoto Honoka is a chipper who has beaten Sun Mingyang before. However, the two sides will not play each other in this league, Sun Mingyang is still adapting to the rotation of the other party, and the two sides will play again if there is a chance in the future.
In fact, so many national table tennis players are allowed to participate in the professional league of Japanese table tennis, just to play a training role. National table tennis players and Japanese table tennis players can familiarize themselves with each other's playing styles on the platform of the league, so that they can communicate with each other. This is also a very important layout of national table tennis, and the team World Table Tennis Championships will be held in February, but Japanese table tennis is still focusing on holding its own professional league.
So these main players of Japanese table tennis can't stop at all. Although this also made the state of Zhang Benmei and others unstable, the league played a better training effect, so we saw that Japanese table tennis players are generally thin, and they are more self-disciplined and more like professional athletes than other foreign players.
Some table tennis players have to find their state due to the lack of systematic competition and training for a long time, not only their body shape, but also to find their state when they participate in international competitions for a long time.
