Sun Yingsha swept Miyu Hirano 3-0, how did the world No. 1 achieve sweet revenge?
In the first round of the WTT Incheon Championship Women's Singles, a highly-anticipated battle for fans, world No. 1 Sun Yingsha vs. Japan's Miu Hirano was staged as scheduled. In last year's Zagreb Challenger, Miu Hirano defeated Sun Yingsha, ending Sasha's unbeaten record in the Paris cycle. However, in Incheon, Sasha won the match in just 20 minutes with a quick victory over Hirano. So, where does the world number one win?
Defeating her in the way her opponent does best, Sasha wins too domineering.
Miyu Hirano is short in stature, and her imitation opponent is Liu Shiwen, the former main force of national table tennis, who mainly focuses on the swing speed of the near stage. Miyu Hirano also regards Liu Shiwen as her goddess. Compared with Ito's ferocity, Hina Hayada is thick in the holding stage, and Miyu Hirano's killer feature is that she is relatively fast in the near stage, especially her backhand now has the ability to penetrate the opponent with one board. Miu Hirano is also one of the Japanese players who has won the women's singles championship twice against the national table tennis team.
In the 2017 Asian Championships, Miu Hirano defeated Ding Ning, Zhu Yuling, and Chen Meng to win the women's singles championship one after another, and in the 2023 Zagreb Challenge, Miyu Hirano defeated Liu Weishan, Kuo Man, and Sun Yingsha in succession to win the women's singles championship. This time in Incheon, Sun Yingsha is obviously fully prepared. Normally, Sun Yingsha's forehand lethality should be the top existence in today's women's table tennis world. What people didn't expect was that from the beginning of the game, Sasha used her backhand to continuously penetrate Miu Hirano. Aren't you strong or fast with your backhand? I'll hit you with your best backhand swing.
As a result, Miu Hirano did not score points for her own backhand attack except for Sasha's own mistakes, and her own backhand attack did not score points throughout the game. If the forehand is hit, Miyu Hirano and Sun Yingsha are not on the same level at all. Sasha's forehand swing is short and high, and Hirano's own serve is wrong, which shows that the opponent is still psychologically afraid of Sasha. After the Busan World Table Tennis Championships, the summary meeting of the Japanese women's team became Sun Yingsha's personal praise meeting.
Including Hina, Misei Ito, Miu Hirano and other main forces, they all said that it was difficult for them to defeat Sun Yingsha. The loss of the Zagreb Challenger was mainly due to Sun Yingsha's own failure to do a good job, and the Incheon match achieved sweet revenge, and Sasha did make full preparations in many links such as serving and holding each other. The most domineering thing is that I don't use my strong forehand to crush you, so I use Hirano's best backhand to crush you. After Hirano's loss, this psychological gap must not be very comfortable, right?
Before the Paris Olympics, Sun Yingsha once again encountered Japan's two major opponents, and Sasha said that the hurdle of beating Japan would be passed sooner or later.
Some people think that Sun Yingsha met Miu Hirano and Hina Hayada in the 1/4 area of Incheon Station, and the signing was too poor. Personally, I think it's good to play another dozen Hirano and Hayada before the Paris Olympics and add some experience. In particular, the way Salsa won the game was to play to the heart. If you want to win the Olympic women's singles title, you have to beat any opponent regardless of the draw, and Sasha herself said that she must pass the level of playing the Japanese women's team. Presumably, after Miu Hirano lost this time, she also realized the gap between herself and the world No. 1. At the moment, Sun Yingsha is still on the rise, and this is not the most powerful Sasha.
The serve to attack the first three boards, the backhand hold, and the forehand are all dominant, and Miu Hirano was sent home in the first round 3-0, and the world's No. 1 hit is a reassuring one. What do you think of Sasha's performance in this revenge battle? If you reduce your mistakes, then the score between the two sides will be even more disparity!
