0-3! Ma Long broke the upset again: the top two in the world in the first-tier cities lost to the Indian players, and Wang Yidi was defeated
On February 16, 2024, the Busan World Table Tennis Championships caused another upset, the opening match of the women's team group stage, the top two in the national table tennis world lost points, following Sun Yingsha's loss to Ashika, Wang Yidi lost 0-3 to Akula, and the Chinese team fell behind India 1-2, playing very difficult and unexpected.
The national table tennis sent three main forces, Chen Meng and Chen Xingtong rested, the Indian team had already prepared and arranged a special way of playing to deal with it, just before the end of the game, the two sides each won a set and tied it, Sun Yingsha lost 1-3 to Aishka Mukherjee, Wang Manyu defeated Batra 3-1, and the third set was the second in the world, Wang Yidi played against Akula, the result was that Wang Yidi lost 0-3, and his performance was completely out of shape.
After the start of the game, Wang Yidi made many unnecessary mistakes in the first game, and he was anxious to take the initiative to fight with his opponent in the middle and far platform, but Akula avoided the real and always looked for opportunities in the first three boards, which made Wang Yidi feel very uncomfortable and couldn't find too good opportunities, and at the same time his mentality was affected, resulting in large ups and downs, Akula took the lead in an all-round way, taking the lead with 11-7, and this opening was really not good.
Wang Yidi's on-the-spot adaptability is too poor, although Akula's style of play is difficult, the level is not as good as Batra and Aishka, the overall performance is not stable, and she has never defeated the main force of national table tennis, relatively speaking, it should be easier, Wang Yidi's pre-match preparation is much worse, and the lack of attention to Indian players leads to a loss if he does not adapt, and head coach Ma Lin has no choice.
In the second game, Wang Yidi's lead suddenly dropped, and the head coach's pause failed to have an effect, allowing Akula to complete the reversal and win another game 11-9, Wang Yidi played very conservatively, giving everyone the feeling that he had not been able to match the point, completely following Akula's rhythm, and failed to give full play to his advantages of high quality and strong ability to hold each other.
In the third game, Akula took advantage of the situation to chase, Wang Yidi collapsed, it was difficult for the two sides to enter the stalemate stage, each time they scored in the first three boards, Wang Yidi did not adapt to the opponent's serve, and the off-court guidance Ma Lin frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the performance of the main players, the key point Akula withstood the pressure and ended the game 13-11, and finally defeated Wang Yidi 3-0, this result was a big surprise.
From Sun Yingsha to Wang Yidi, the top two in the national table tennis world broke out and lost to Indian players one after another, Wang Yidi suffered a fiasco, facing the Indian women's team No. 3 player Akula, played abnormally and did not win a game, so that the next three sets of national table tennis can not be lost, originally everyone thought that the group stage of the women's team was not difficult, but I didn't expect the Indian team to be so difficult, the coaching staff was indeed careless this time.
