Sun Yingsha defeated Linda 3-1 to advance to the quarterfinals, and the world No. 1 won the offensive battle with difficulty
In the women's singles 1/8 match of the WTT Incheon Championships, world No. 1 Sun Yingsha faced Sweden's Linda Bergstrom. As a result, Sasha swept her opponent 3-1 and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the women's singles.
In the first game, Sun Yingsha entered the state very quickly, and the forehand and backhand burst quickly beat Linda to the position of the middle and far platform. is the same chipping style of play, unlike Han Ying, Linda's offense is stronger, while Han Ying's chipping skills are more solid. However, among the main players of national table tennis, Sun Yingsha is the best at chipping. Playing chipping is mainly to see the continuous offensive ability of the forehand, and it is precisely Sasha's forehand that is too prominent, with both high-quality bursts, light pulls and light hangings, as well as the transfer of the landing line, the rush is rushed, the hit is played, and the world No. 1 won the first game 11-3.
In the second game, Sun Yingsha was still controlling the rhythm on the court, and because Sasha's explosive power was too great, Linda also felt a lot of pressure on defense. In fact, in the team warm-up match, in order to increase the difficulty for Sun Yingsha, Li Falcon also specially asked the male chipper to fight Sasha. As a result, Sun Yingsha still won. However, there is a difference between the intra-team competition and the international competition. In particular, the national table tennis women's team at Incheon Station has introduced a point deduction mechanism, and once it loses the foreign war, Incheon Station will be deducted 1,000 points. Although Sasha is far ahead in the Olympic selection points, she still can't afford to be careless. Under the continuous attack of the world No. 1, Linda was difficult to resist, and Sun Yingsha won the second game 11-3.
In the third game, Linda made some articles on spin changes, and her sideways forehand attack also played a role, and the score was in the lead for a while. In the face of the opponent's counterattack, Sasha did not panic, and still played steadily, and the score of the two sides came to a 7-7 draw in the middle game. It is very obvious that as long as Sun Yingsha's forehand is played with the offensive quality, it will be difficult for Linda to cut this ball. After the score came to 9-9, Sasha made a mistake in attack, and then Linda counterattacked with a forehand to pull back a game at 11-9.
In the fourth game, Sasha readjusted her rhythm and was not in a hurry to kill her opponent with one board, and the opening score led 4-0. Linda's threat to Sasha is that she sometimes spins the ball and sometimes doesn't, and if she doesn't judge correctly, it's easy to pull the ball out of bounds. When the score came to 5-4, Sasha called a timeout. During the pause, Qiu Yike said, "You can pull the arc a little higher and pay attention to the rhythm." Sasha said: "I'm a little unsure about this period of time. ”
Regarding Sasha's naughty statement, Director Qiu also smiled and comforted her. Suppressing the backhand and accelerating the explosion of the forehand, Sasha finally won the fourth game 13-11 and won the opponent with a big score of 3-1. The cost of playing the chipping game is still a bit large for Sasha, and the continuous forehand explosion also has an impact on the injury of the shoulder injury. There is such a relatively fierce confrontation on the road to promotion, which is also very beneficial for Sasha to win the championship next. What do you think of Sun Yingsha's 3-1 victory over chipper Linda?
