The world No. 3 lost 1-4 to Miwa Zhang and deducted 3,000 points and was deprived of Olympic qualifications
The Macau World Cup entered the knockout round, and many main players of national table tennis played in the top 16 of singles, with veterans Ma Long, Lin Gaoyuan, Chen Meng and others taking the lead in winning smoothly and advancing to the top 8 together. But there are also other national table tennis main players who have been upset and stopped in the top 16, including Wang Yidi of the women's team.
Against Zhang Benmeihe, Wang Yidi seemed to have no power to fight back, obsessed with fighting the first three boards with the opponent for speed, and did not take the advice given by the coach on the sidelines to spin more, resulting in Zhang Benmei and his arms, and the rhythm of the whole game has been pinched by Zhang Benmeihe, and Wang Yidi was suppressed throughout the whole process. In the end, Wang Yidi lost to Zhang Benmeihe with a score of 1-4 and stopped in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
From the perspective of world ranking and personal strength, Wang Yidi is in an advantage in the face of Zhang Benmeihe, but Dadi's on-the-spot reaction is too poor, he does not see his own problems in time, his playing style is too rigid, and there are not too many changes, resulting in the rhythm being controlled by the opponent. As a comparison, Sun Yingsha, another main force of national table tennis, had a lot of changes against Zhang Benmeihe, constantly adding spin to the ball, making Zhang Benmeihe extremely uncomfortable, and Sun Yingsha is still winning against Zhang Benmeihe.
After the upset stopped in the top 16 of the women's singles, Wang Yidi suffered two impacts, the first is her original world No. 3 ranking, as Chen Meng enters the top 8 of the women's singles, Wang Yidi's world ranking will be surpassed by Chen Meng and slide to No. 4. The second is that Wang Yidi's personal Olympic points will be deducted 3000 points, before the national table tennis head coach Li Falcon has made it clear that 3000 Olympic points will be deducted for every loss of a foreign war from the World Cup, Wang Yidi has bid farewell to the Olympic women's singles qualification competition in advance, and now she doesn't even have to fight for the team list, and directly bid farewell to the Paris Olympics in advance, and the Olympic qualification was completely deprived.
For Wang Yidi, her performance in foreign wars in the past 1 year is too poor, losing a total of 6 foreign wars, including 5 losses to Japanese players, in addition to Zhang Benmeihe, she also lost to Miyu Hirano many times, and these two Japanese table tennis main players have been selected for the Paris Olympic squad, Wang Yidi has no hope of winning in the face of Japanese players, and the Japanese table tennis women's team is the biggest opponent of the national table tennis women's team, from this point of view, Wang Yidi can not be selected for the Olympic list is also very reasonable.
Every player who can enter the first team of national table tennis and become the main force is a top athlete, extremely good, but unfortunately the internal competition of national table tennis is very cruel, and the national table tennis coaching staff has high requirements for athletes, Wang Yidi's foreign performance is too poor, the coaching staff has lost patience, considering that Wang Yidi is 27 years old, it is basically difficult for her to get the opportunity to be trained in the next Olympic cycle, maybe she will fade out of the national table tennis first team after the Paris Olympics.
