On the evening of April 19, Beijing time, the top 4 women's singles of the Macao Singles World Cup were all born! The three main forces of national table tennis, Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng, teamed up to reach the semifinals. Previously, the other three female players of national table tennis, Kuo Man stopped in the group stage, Wang Yidi was eliminated by Zhang Benmeihe in the first round of the knockout round, and Chen Xingtong lost to Sun Yingsha in the last round of the national table tennis civil war. The only foreign player to reach the semifinals of the women's singles is Miwa Haramoto, the youngest Olympic representative of the Japanese team.
Miwa Zhang, who is only 15 years old this year, is also the youngest women's singles top 4 player in the history of the Women's Table Tennis World Cup.
The top 4 in the first half of the region
Sun Yingsha 4-2 Zheng Yijing
【11-5，11-2，9-11，11-7，10-12，11-5】
There is obviously a gap in strength between Sun Yingsha and Zheng Yijing, and Senior Sister Zheng is not on the same visual plane of Sun Yingsha at all. Although Zheng Yijing won two games, Sun Yingsha still controlled the rhythm.
Sun Yingsha's draw in this tournament is unprecedentedly strange, all the opponents she met before the semifinals are Chinese, from Zhu Chengzhu to Chen Siyu, from Chen Xingtong to Zheng Yijing, Sasha is like playing a national championship, and it is also a wonderful batch.
Chen Meng 4-0 Miu Hirano
【11-5，11-8，11-9，11-6】
Chen Meng's strategy in this game was too right, and he achieved a counterattack on the backhand line that Miyu Hirano has become more skilled and fully relied on recently, and through the sudden fierce straight line in the backhand position, Chen Meng smashed Miyu Hirano's inertia routine in one fell swoop, thus playing a gorgeous victory.
Advance in the lower half of the division
Zhang Benmei and 4-1 Diaz
【11-3，11-7，11-2，8-11，11-8】
On the one hand, Diaz is more comprehensive, very capable of bearing, and basically has no obvious shortcomings, on the other hand, Diaz does not have a unique trick to highlight his strengths, no matter in which link, he does not have a fatal hitting power. Zhang Benmei and Sheng in the near Taiwan high-speed connection and high-quality veneer effect.
Wang Manyu 4-1 Hina Hayata
【11-8，11-7，8-11，11-6，11-8】
Wang Manyu had a tactical confrontation in the first two games, firmly giving the middle position, limiting Hina Hayata's backhand launch, and quickly won 2 games. Hina Hayada pulled one back with a hard-fought fight in the third game, but that had already drained her energy. Wang Manyu then closed two more games at a faster pace and eliminated the first sister of Japanese table tennis.
Semi-final matchups and previews
#155555555555555555555555555555555555
Sun Yingsha wants this World Cup title because it is also a key piece of the puzzle on her way to a Grand Slam. Chen Meng also wants this title, which is the core stepping stone for her to defend her title and get closer to Olympic singles qualification.
Between Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, there is a love of Jin Lan comparable to Meiyu, and on the final stage of the Grand Slam event, the two each beat each other once. The prospect of this semi-final is unpredictable, and Sun Yingsha's latest strength should be above Chen Meng, but the background of the women's team's current only Olympic singles champion, even the world queen Sun Yingsha does not dare to take lightly.
#不等一个大半区半决赛: Wang Manyu VS Zhang Benmeihe
Miwa Zhang faced the Japanese in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, which greatly compensated for her weakness of "the least number of fights against Japan this week".
In this semi-final, Wang Manyu will defeat Zhang Benmeihe.
Reason 1, Zhang Benmei and her brother Zhang Benzhihe jointly entered the top 4 of the World Cup, which has created history, and the Zhang family can no longer be allowed to further expand the legend.
Reason 2, Wang Manyu will not lose a foreign war in 2024, which is the only one among the top four main players in women's table tennis, and it is necessary for her to continue to extend this record.
Reason 3, Wang Manyu's overall strength is above Zhang Benmeihe.
