On April 17, Beijing time, the table tennis Macau World Cup ushered in a key showdown, Japanese Olympic champion Misei Ito once again appeared to face the American player Amy Wang, and finally the two sides fought 4 rounds after a 2-2 draw Ito, and her mother Minari Ito, who was sitting on the sidelines, was helpless.
Prior to this, Ito Micheng drew 2-2 with Thailand's famous Sutasini, and was still behind the opponent in a small score, but Sutasini then played poorly, and also drew 2-2 with Wang Amy, and now Ito Micheng and Wang Amy drew 2-2, and finally after a small score, Sutasini became the winner and advanced to the women's singles round of 16.
Highlights of the game
In this competition, Ito's performance in the first round was not ideal, as the top athlete in the group, she almost lost to Thailand's Sutasini, although the final score was 2-2 draw, but the small score was behind the opponent.
Originally, everyone thought that Ito Micheng would be more auspicious, but then Wang Amy gave her a big gift, drawing 2-2 with Sutasini, so as long as Ito Micheng can defeat Wang Amy 4-0 or 3-1, she will become the first in the group and advance to the round of 16 knockouts, but no one dares to guarantee that she will be upset 2-2 or 1-3, or even 0-4, and there is suspense in the game.
The process of the game
After the start of the game, Ito played very well in the first game, and soon used her backhand raw rubber speed advantage to suppress Wang Amy, in addition to her serve also created a great threat to the opponent, Wang Amy either made a direct mistake, or took the opportunity to be attacked by Ito Micheng, and finally Ito Micheng easily won the first place 11-3.
In the second game, Ito's state plummeted, and as a result, Wang Amy easily got 7 game points, and finally lost 4-11 - it seems that Wang Amy's previous draw against Sutasini is also supported by strength, and now Ito Micheng is also under pressure.
In the third game, Ito must win, otherwise there is a possibility of being eliminated even if it is a 2-2 draw, let alone a 1-3 defeat. After returning to the fight, Ito's form began to pick up, but he was tied after leading twice, and after squandering three game points, he fell behind 10-11, but eventually won 14-12 and regained the initiative in the game.
In the fourth game, Ito Misei played poorly and began to fall behind the score again, and at the critical moment, Wang Amy did not hold the advantage and was chased to 9 draws, but Ito Misei then overtook 10-9 and did not win, and finally lost 10-12 to end the battle, and was eliminated by a small loss to Sutasini.
