On April 17, Beijing time, the 2024 Table Tennis Macau World Cup continued, and today is the last round of the group.
The two women's singles stars are relatively young, and they basically began to rise last year, obviously Zhang Benmei and rose more violently, and already has the strength to compete with the main force of national table tennis, and is already the absolute main force of Japan, shortlisted for the Paris Olympics lineup, Jin Naying mainly participated in the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup last year, and her performance was remarkable, but the overall record was relatively average.
Although it can be regarded as the main force in South Korea, but the international competitiveness is relatively average, and in the end, Zhang Benmei and 4-0 Kim Naying, 11-8, 11-5, 11-9, 11-9 are also relatively normal results, after all, Zhang Benmeihe's strength is stronger, and the offense is more attacking, but Kim Naying played well in this game, especially in the last two games, she has been biting the score, and once had a chance to win, but unfortunately lost in the key points.
After the game, Zhang Benmeihe said that he had prepared for a hard battle before the game, studied the opponent, and was quite satisfied with this year's performance, but there were a lot of mistakes, and he still had to go back and summarize.
Chen Meng-Sliga Akula, 11-4, 11-4, 13-15, 11-2, India's back Akula because of the clean sheet against Wang Yidi at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, which made the national table tennis pay more attention to her, and it is inevitable that she will be studied, after all, the special style of play, the national table tennis sparring is still relatively small, in the first game, it can be seen that Chen Meng played very focused, fully prepared, and was entangled by the opponent in the third game, so he regained control of the game in the fourth game.
Chen Meng: It was my first time playing against Akula, she had played against our teammates before, I made a lot of difficult preparations before the game, and I adapted quickly today. This kind of competition is quite exercised. The opponents in the knockout round are getting stronger and stronger, and unlike the group stage, it is still necessary to control the rhythm of the game on the field.
Wang Yidi and Shan Xiaona played 2-2, in fact, Wang Yidi completely controlled the rhythm of the game in the first two games, but in the third game, he fell out of state at the beginning of the middle game, and many attacks did not dare to play, and did not occupy the initiative, but fortunately, he successfully broke through from the group with small points.
The last two games really shouldn't be, the state is sluggish, I didn't find a way to deal with it, and I kept attacking Shan Xiaona's backhand, but her backhand push hit the state, and even played a counterattack, Wang Yidi lacked changes behind her, and she still needed to summarize, and there was no room for loss in the knockout round.
The fourth player to advance in the women's singles is Chinese Taipei star Zheng Yijing, who defeated Sweden's chipper Bergstrom 4-0, and played very close in the first game, until 10-10, Zheng Yijing narrowly won 12-10 through offensive scores, and controlled the rhythm of the game at the beginning of the second game, and has been leading 11-8 to win another game. In the third game, Zheng Yijing once again fell into a fierce struggle, and this game was still grasped by Zheng Yijing with a key score of 12-10, and in the fourth game, Zheng Yijing played steadily and won the final game 11-8.
Hina Hayada defeated Romanian veteran Samara 4-0, in fact, it was only two games, Samara retired due to injury, and Hina Hayada won two wins in the group and successfully advanced.
