On April 17, Beijing time, in the second round of the ITTF World Cup women's singles group stage, Wang Yidi faced the 41-year-old German veteran Shan Xiaona. As a result, Wang Yidi was 2-0 ahead by the opponent and almost overturned. Fortunately, with a small score advantage, Wang Yidi thrillingly advanced to the top 16 of women's singles.
Against the particle style of play, Wang Yidi has repeatedly had problems, and in the face of Shan Xiaona's counterattack, the response is obviously insufficient.
The scores of Wang Yidi and Shan Xiaona in the four games were: 11-7, 11-4, 9-11, 9-11. In the first 2 games, Wang Yidi relied on the quality of the board and was indeed able to suppress Shan Xiaona. Shan Xiaona's playing style is the same as Liu Guoliang's, both of which are traditional straight and fast attacking, and she is simply a "living fossil" in this 40+ big ball era. Four draws and eight steady holds, Wang Yidi is fully capable of sweeping the opponent 4-0. However, Shan Xiaona, as a veteran who has been in the table tennis world for many years, does have more changes and more scoring means than Wang Yidi, who has a single ball path, in terms of on-site adjustment and game experience.
After losing 2 games in a row, Shan Xiaona played well in serving and attacking and fighting on the first three boards, and tried not to fight hard with Wang Yidi. In the third game, Shan Xiaona also staged a round ball with Wang Yidi of more than ten boards in the holding link. The holding link is not too bad, and the first three boards can suppress Wang Yidi, and Shan Xiaona's counterattack began to play a role. Wang Yidi plays a rhythm ball more smoothly, once the opponent changes, she is easy to be led by the opponent's nose.
In fact, Wang Yidi's granular playing style is the most unstable of the main forces of national table tennis. has not been able to sit firmly in the main force for many years, that is, Wang Yidi can't cut the ball. Before, Ni Xialian, who had lost a long rubber play and was over 60 years old. At this year's World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, Wang Yidi lost 0-3 to India's long rubber player Akula. In this World Cup, Wang Yidi's Shan Xiaona, who played with a positive glue style, was forced to draw by her opponent and almost suffered a group elimination
Wang Yidi was unjustly disqualified from Paris singles, and his performance in the tournament was indeed not reassuring.
Wang Yidi defeated Du Kaiqin 3-1 in the first round of the Macau World Cup, drawing 2-2 with Shan Xiaona, while Du Kaiqin swept Shan Xiaona 4-0. In the end, it was a small score, and Wang Yidi also won by a narrow margin. Previously, Wang Yidi was photographed by Hina Hayada in competitions such as the Durban World Table Tennis Championships and the Asian Games. Singapore Grand Slam has also lost to Miu Hirano, and this time the Macau World Cup almost suffered a rollover, and Wang Yidi's performance in the tournament was indeed not stable. Li Falcon also announced in public that Wang Yidi is no longer suitable for participating in the singles competition of the Paris Olympics because he has lost to players from other associations in key matches and competitions many times. It seems that Li Falcon's decision was the right one.
