On April 14, Beijing time, the draw results of the women's singles for the Macau World Cup were released. The World Cup, one of the three traditional major tournaments, has undergone new changes in the format and number of participants after its return. Judging from the draw results, Sun Yingsha did not have too strong opponents in the group stage, and Chen Meng will meet India's Akula.
The group stage adopts a 4-game system, Sasha enters the rhythm and reading game relatively quickly, and Chen Meng is a little dangerous.
The World Cup started with the group stage, with 48 players divided into 16 groups, with a total of three players in each group. The group is played in a round-robin format, and each match is played in four innings, namely: 4-0, 3-1, 2-2. In the event of multiple 2-2 draws, the number of wins is counted and the group winners will advance to the next stage of the knockout rounds. Below, let's take a look at the draw groups of several main players in national table tennis:
Group 1: Sun Yingsha, Chen Siyu, Zhu Chengzhu
Group 2: Wang Manyu, Manica Batra, Adina Diaknu
Group 3: Wang Yidi, Shan Xiaona, Du Kaiqin
Group 4: Chen Meng, Sliga Akula, Natalia Bayo
Group 6: Chen Xingtong, Olawan Paranam, Liu Xinyin
Judging from the above draw results, the first group where Sasha is located, there is not much suspense, Chen Siyu and Zhu Chengzhu are both two-sided anti-glue play, and there is no weirdness, Sasha is the fastest to enter the game among the five main forces, can solve the problem with one board, and will never drag it to the second board before shooting. As long as Chen Siyu wins the first game smoothly and finds the feeling of the game, there will be no problem for the world's No. 1 group to qualify. The more dangerous is Chen Meng, who is in the fourth group with Akula.
Akula defeated Wang Yidi 3-0 at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan. Indian players have a special style of play, Akula and India's first sister Batra, she has more changes in her backhand long rubber, and her forehand is more ferocious, and Chen Meng herself has a slow heat. In addition, there are 1,500 points in the World Cup, and 3,000 points will be awarded if the women's singles wins the championship. Chen Meng and Wang Manyu are under a lot of pressure to compete for Olympic selection points, and if they fail to adapt to their opponents quickly in the 4 rounds, Chen Meng may be upset.
Wang Manyu also encountered strange players, Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong both got good signings.
Wang Manyu and India's first sister Batra are in the second group, and Batra is also a long rubber play. However, Batra has played against national table tennis many times, and I believe that Wang Manyu has adapted to her changes. It is worth noting that although Wang Manyu's form has rebounded in Singapore and Incheon, she also has a problem with slow heating. Once the opponent leads 1-0 or 2-0 and then counterattacks, the situation is still more dangerous.
Wang Yidi and Chen Xingtong are in the group, the opponent is not very strong, and the two of them should have no problem qualifying in the group. The Macau World Cup national table tennis has once again revised the points deduction rules, then 3,000 points will be deducted if the group stage is not qualified, 3,000 will be deducted for every 1 loss in the round-robin and knockout round-robin, and 6,000 will be deducted for 2 losses. I hope that several main players of national table tennis will be able to successfully qualify from the group and not miss out on players from other associations.
