On April 17, 2024, the table tennis Macau World Cup was upset again, the Japanese star was eliminated in the group stage, Ito Misei 2-2 American player Wang Amy, won 40-38 but went out, because all three were 2-2, and Thailand's Sutasini advanced to the round of 16.
Japanese star Ito Misei has been famous for a long time, has won the Olympic mixed doubles gold medal, women's team silver medal, women's singles bronze medal, and has been on the podium three times in a single session, this result can be said to be the ceiling of the foreign association, but this Olympic cycle Ito Misei has a mediocre performance, and even failed in the internal competition, and missed the Paris Olympics, not as good as the 15-year-old Zhang Benmeiwa, these things also her confidence was frustrated.
This World Cup Ito Micheng is the top ten seeds, with the world ranking to draw a better signing, successfully avoided the national table tennis players, the same group of two is the United States player Wang Amy, Thailand star Sutasini, originally everyone thought that Ito Micheng out of the suspense is not big, did not expect to break out of the upset, although Ito Micheng did not lose the big score, but the calculation of the small score is not dominant, the result was eliminated by Sutasini.
Previously, Ito Micheng 2-2 Sutasini, Wang Amy 2-2 Sutasini, all three were draws, but the small score Sutasini was superior, so it depends on the performance of Ito Micheng against Wang Amy, as a result, Ito Micheng twice led by Wang Amy equalized, in the face of American fans who are not too strong, they failed to take the advantage, although the small score is 40-38 Wang Amy, but Sutasini benefited.
After the start of the game, the first game Ito Micheng was online, just came up and blasted out 11-3 to take the lead, at first Wang Amy gave everyone a feeling that the level was limited, and the playing style was not advanced, and in the second game, Ito Micheng suddenly dropped the line, there were not many unnecessary mistakes, Wang Amy had a very high ball quotient, and always mobilized Ito Micheng through the change of the landing point, Wang Amy returned 11-5 and also colored, and the first two games were equal.
In the third game, Wang Amy still adopted the previous strategy, which made it difficult for Ito Micheng to adapt, although with the outstanding performance of the key points, 14-12 pulled back a game, but the mentality has been problematic, not as confident as before, in the fourth game Ito Micheng was reversed 10-8 match points, Wang Amy scored 4 points in a row, 12-10 narrowly won, Ito Micheng 2-2 Wang Amy, the total score is 40-38 slightly better.
There is a round-robin situation in the 7th group, Ito Micheng, Sutasini, and Wang Amy all got 4 games, so it is necessary to calculate the small score to determine the qualifying place, and the International Table Tennis Federation has calculated and finally determined that Sutasini advanced to the top 16 of women's singles, and Ito Micheng is out, which is also the first women's singles world top ten to be out of this event, this result is surprising, and Ito Micheng's performance in this game is not up to standard.
