Wang Yidi suffered Waterloo, and the main position of women's table tennis was in jeopardy
On April 18, on the Macau Women's Table Tennis World Cup, a seemingly ordinary game set off a lot of waves.
Wang Yidi, a famous female table tennis player who has enjoyed unlimited scenery in the domestic arena, unexpectedly lost to the 15-year-old Japanese teenager Miwa Zhang with a score of 1-4.
This defeat not only means that Wang Yidi is out of the World Cup stage early, but also puts her main position in women's table tennis in jeopardy.
Looking back at Wang Yidi's recent performance, it is not difficult to find that her form is indeed worrying.
During the Paris Olympic cycle, she lost to Japanese players such as Hina Hayada and Miu Hirano, and was even eliminated in the competition for women's table tennis Olympic singles qualification.
And last night's game put her main position in jeopardy.
In the face of Zhang Benmeihe, who is only 15 years old, Wang Yidi does not seem to have many options, and he is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of technology and mentality.
So, why did Wang Yidi get into such a predicament? Perhaps we can find some clues from her performance.
In this match, Wang Yidi's performance was obviously not stable enough, and she made too many mistakes at critical moments, allowing her opponent to seize the opportunity.
In addition, in the face of the young and energetic Zhang Benmeihe, Wang Yidi seems to lack sufficient countermeasures to effectively limit the opponent's play.
Wang Yidi's predicament can't help but remind people of another former female table tennis star - Zhu Yuling.
Zhu Yuling was also questioned because of her frequent losses to Japanese players, and finally chose to retire gloomily.
Now, Wang Yidi seems to be following in the footsteps of Zhu Yuling, her main position in women's table tennis is in jeopardy, and she may even become the second Zhu Yuling.
After this loss, Wang Yidi needs to seriously summarize his problems and actively seek improvement and promotion.
At the same time, she also needs to adjust her mentality and face the future competition with a more positive and confident attitude.
Only in this way can she regain her foothold in the fierce competition and regain her own glory.
Wang Yidi's loss was a heavy blow, but it also sounded the alarm for us. We need to conscientiously sum up the lessons learned and actively seek to improve and upgrade.
Only in this way can we achieve better results in future competitions and write a new chapter in the glorious history of Chinese women's table tennis.
