On the morning of April 17, the third match day of the Macau World Cup, the women's singles had a key battle! Wang Yidi played against Shan Xiaona, and the result was an unexpected score and result.
Let's start with the scores of four games: 11-7, 11-4, 9-11, 9-11. Although he still advanced to the round of 16, it can be seen that Dadi once again dropped the chain, sitting on a 2-0 lead, and was chased by the opponent for 2 games in a row. So far, she has also become the first player in the national table tennis women's singles to score 2-2. On the first match day, Wang Yidi scored 3-1 and was the only player in the national table tennis women's singles to lose the game. There are all kinds of signs that Dadi is unstable.
In terms of qualification for this year's Olympic Games, Wang Yidi has obviously fallen behind. In the case that it is almost impossible to participate in singles, the qualification of the women's team still has to rush, and the main competitors are none other than Wang Manyu and Chen Meng. Looking at it now, Wang Yidi seems to have little hope.
After the game, Wang Yidi felt a little embarrassed and commented on the game like this:
I think it was a thrilling game today, probably every game. Maybe Sister Na played very well, and I was also in a hurry, and I felt a little awkward in every game. I feel that I have a lot of unnecessary mistakes, and after being entangled by Sister Na, this kind of needless mistake on the backhand, as well as the conversion attack, are a little less.
I feel like I'm a little bit behind in the fourth game, and I'm going to chase it point by point, so I feel okay, and I'm going to get a few points back. As for this group stage, there are surprises and joys, a 3-1, a 2-2, every game, every point is very important. Overall, it's good to qualify.
Looking forward to the next knockout round, Wang Yidi said frankly: The knockout round is a 7-game 4-win system, the number of rounds will be a little longer, the rhythm will be a little slower, or adjust your rhythm, and the mentality must be adjusted, no matter who you face, you must do your best, based on fighting the opponent.
