On the evening of April 15, Beijing time, the ITTF 2024 Macau Singles World Cup ushered in the debut of the women's world No. 1 Sun Yingsha, and the first sister of the national table tennis defeated Zhu Chengzhu, the No. 2 main force of the Hong Kong team, 4-0, and basically locked the right to qualify from the group.
Sun Yingsha has no Olympic selection in this World Cup, and only focuses on impacting her Grand Slam gold body. If she wins the World Cup in Macau, then she will only have the Paris Olympics left to achieve a Grand Slam, thus surpassing Zhang Jike and setting a record for the fastest Grand Slam.
Zhu Chengzhu is the new second sister of the Hong Kong team, and she has surpassed Li Haoqing in the past year to become the No. 2 singles player in the Olympic team. Zhu Chengzhu has a tough personality and has a ruthlessness that can bite the back molars. Her technical framework is also relatively solid, and she has won the essence of the Chinese table tennis youth training system.
What Zhu Chengzhu lacks is the ability to make golden trade-offs in a fierce and stable relationship, and at the same time, the quality of the board is relatively average, and the ability to continuously stack the quality in multi-round confrontation is far inferior to Sun Yingsha.
In addition, before Zhu Chengzhu came to Macau, she continued to compete in WTT feeder tournaments in Europe, and won one championship and one runner-up in the finals of the two competitions, which consumed a lot of physical energy and mental energy, and her physical condition is also her current shortcoming.
In the first game of the game, Zhu Chengzhu really carried forward the spirit of gritting her teeth desperately, she fought with Sasha until 9-9, and finally Sasha ended the battle with two violent shots, 11-9, Sasha closed the game first.
In the second game, Sasha ended the trial with full firepower, and won 11-4 in 4 minutes.
In the third game, Sasha controlled the rhythm throughout the whole game, Zhu Chengzhu went all out and only scored 8 points, and Sun Yingsha won 11-8 again and locked the victory in advance.
In the last game, Sasha led 4-0 at the beginning, Zhu Chengzhu relieved his fighting spirit, 11-3, and Sasha won and called it a day.
Oita 4-0, with a total score of 44-24, Sun Yingsha easily defeated Zhu Chengzhu and passed the first round smoothly.
In the next round, Sun Yingsha's opponent is Chen Siyu, the second sister of the Chinese Taipei team. Chen Siyu's overall strength is now two points weaker than Zhu Chengzhu, and Sasha will not have any problem winning two consecutive victories to qualify from the group.
