In the second round of the group stage of the Macau World Cup, national table tennis player Wang Manyu faced India's Batra. Both sides defeated group stage rivals Diaconu at the same time to qualify for the group stage. This is a match that no one can afford to lose, and Batra will go all out to attack Wang Manyu in the match. This is another meeting between the two sides after the Busan Team World Table Tennis Championships in February, and they should know each other well.
Wang Manyu's attack on the first three boards was very good, and it is estimated that she will suppress Batra in the backhand link in this game. Batra, on the other hand, will step up her forehand attack because she won't have an advantage in the backhand alone. Wang Manyu is also more familiar with her granular style of play, and will not give her opponent a chance to cause an upset.
Batra can only strengthen the initiative to fight and strive to win the two games, so that she still has a chance to qualify if the score is small. However, Wang Manyu will definitely strengthen his concentration in the game, and he will be able to fully cope with the pre-match preparation. A draw is not the desired outcome for both sides, and winning is the only way out.
Wang Manyu should adjust the concentration of the game as soon as possible, quickly show the offensive characteristics of his first three boards, and not fall into the opponent's offensive rhythm. As long as Wang Manyu ensures that he does not lose in foreign competitions, he will be able to get a quota for the Olympic singles competition, and this goal can still be achieved in the short term.
Wang Manyu should prepare for the next knockout round, because in the knockout round, Wang Manyu is expected to face the main Japanese table tennis players. This time, Miu Hirano may face Wang Manyu, the two sides have not yet met in this Olympic cycle, and this Macau World Cup is the best time to meet, because it is a big competition.
In the first game of this game, Wang Manyu led 5-3 at the beginning, and then controlled the pace of the game, and finally won the first game easily 11-6. Batra couldn't find the offensive rhythm in the second game, and Wang Manyu directly took a 9-1 lead, and finally won the second game easily 11-4.
Before the game, many fans hoped that Batra would win, but they didn't expect Wang Manyu to be so controlling. In the third game, Batra launched a continuous fighting attack, and Wang Manyu scored four points in a row to reverse the score 11-9 when he fell behind 7-9. In the fourth game, Wang Manyu continued to change the line with his forehand, and directly expanded the score to 8-1 by serving and attacking the forehand.
Batra hit a forehand and took advantage of the opponent's mistake to chase the score to 4-9, Wang Manyu grabbed the game point with a backhand serve to grab 10-4, and Batra lost the fourth game 4-11 with a service error. Wang Manyu's use of a long backhand to limit the opponent's backhand in this game is very effective and worth promoting.
Chen Xingtong's second opponent in the group stage is Palanam, and the Thai player still has some impact. Paranan's quick attack on the first three boards didn't have much effect on Chen, who was faster than her opponent and better defensively, so she was able to fully cope with the challenge.
Chen Xingtong's backhand attack is particularly explosive, and Paranan's overall strength is at a disadvantage, and it is estimated that Chen Xingtong will be swept away. Chen Xingtong is already invincible in this match, and since Palanan also defeated Liu Xinyin in the same group in the last round, it is unlikely that the two sides will end in a draw. Unless Chen Xingtong is conservative, he will still be able to win this game.
Which national table tennis teammate Chen Xingtong will be with next is particularly crucial, and fans hope that she will continue to challenge Wang Manyu. Based on Chen Xingtong's current ranking, it is possible to be divided with Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, and I believe that the competition in the next knockout round will be extremely fierce.
Chen Xingtong first has to win this group stage, and Chen Xingtong is prone to conservative and stubborn opponents in the game. If Chen Xingtong can play more tactics of active attack in the first three boards, I believe that the game process will be more relaxed.
Overall, Paranam can't beat Chen Xingtong, and the possibility of being eliminated is very high, and Chen Xingtong will become the third player in the women's team to qualify. National table tennis player Sun Yingsha will face the veteran Chen Siyu, this match is not very difficult for Sun Yingsha, because the two sides have also played many times before, Sun Yingsha has won.
For the current Sun Yingsha, the main goal is to remain undefeated in the group stage, enter the knockout round as soon as possible, and compete for the championship. Chen Siyu has played against Sun Yingsha more times in the mixed doubles competition, and this player has a relatively fast connection speed and is not advanced in terms of playing style. And there is still a gap between her ability to resist pressure in the game and Zheng Yijing, and it would be good to win a game.
Although Sun Yingsha will encounter shocks, she has excellent adaptability and has shown good control of the game against players with different playing styles. Since Sun Yingsha is the last female national table tennis player to compete, she will become the last female team to qualify for the group stage. In the last round of the game, although Sun Yingsha had a clean sheet against Zhu Chengzhu, many fans saw that Sun Yingsha had two games to win quite difficult.
Fans are worried about Sun Yingsha's state, so Sun Yingsha still has to adjust as soon as possible in this round of the game, and don't fall into the offensive rhythm of competitors. Winning as soon as possible is more important for Sun Yingsha, and this four-game game does add a certain amount of suspense. Advancing to the group stage is no problem for Sun Yingsha, and fans hope that Sun Yingsha will show a more pressing game process.
Create more pressure on competitors to play, and Sun Yingsha's winning process will be faster. It is estimated that Sun Yingsha is also trying to adjust her state, this kind of World Cup game is not good if she is in too fast condition, and she must slowly adjust her best state as the game progresses, which is more conducive to winning the championship.
