The Macau World Cup ushered in the final battle, the men's singles Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan will compete for the men's singles championship, and Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha will meet again in the finals after the Incheon championship, and the two will compete for the women's singles championship.
Wang Manyu has taken on the "anti-Japanese banner" of national table tennis in this World Cup, Wang Manyu has never lost against the Japanese team in his career, and this World Cup Wang Manyu will welcome the challenge of Hina Hayata, the first sister of Japanese women's table tennis, and Miwa Zhangmoto, a rising star of Japanese women's table tennis.
After defeating Hina Hayada bloodlessly, Wang Manyu in the women's singles semifinals ushered in Japanese women's table tennis player Miwa Zhangmoto.
In this World Cup, Zhang Benmeihe was in surprisingly good shape, not only defeating the national table tennis player Wang Yidi, but also setting a new record for the youngest World Cup award, and had already exceeded the task by entering the semifinals, so Zhang Benmeihe was extremely relaxed.
Even so, in the face of a huge strength gap, Zhang Benmei and the last step semi-finals, but the Japanese media gave a very high evaluation of Zhang Benmeihe's performance this time, in the process of holding Wang Manyu, the 15-year-old Zhang Benmei and fast and very persistent, the future upside is very large.
This match made Japanese fans see the potential of Miwa Zhang again, so for Miwa Zhangmoto, this game was worth the loss.
After the last ball was played, Zhang Benmeihe looked at his coach with a smile, and did not have much burden of losing, but Wang Manyu, who won the game, squatted on the ground, which also attracted the attention of the Japanese media.
After winning Zhang Benmeihe 4-2, Wang Manyu squatted on the ground and shouted to celebrate, it stands to reason that Wang Manyu will not be so excited to win Zhang Benmeihe, and Wang Manyu rarely has this more radical celebration in his career, netizens bluntly said: Manyu is under too much pressure.
The Paris Olympics are approaching, although Wang Manyu has been confirmed to enter the women's table tennis Olympic team, but the women's singles quota has not yet been determined.
After the start of the Macau World Cup, the Chinese Table Tennis Association made new regulations for the women's table tennis Olympic Games list, in the future Macau World Cup and Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, if Chinese players lose the foreign war, 3000 Olympic points will be directly deducted, which also means that they will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games at all.
This is tantamount to putting on a heavy shackle for the women's table tennis players, especially since there are two Japanese celebrities in Wang Manyu's group, and the pressure can be imagined.
Fortunately, Wang Manyu survived and finally met Sun Yingsha in the finals, and this is the second time the two have met in the singles finals in a month.
In the women's singles match of the Incheon Championship in early April, Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Manyu 4-0 to win the women's singles championship.
But for Sun Yingsha, if she wins this World Cup, then she is very likely to complete the Grand Slam this year, which is the highest honor for professional table tennis players, and Sun Yingsha definitely does not want to lose this championship.
Of course, no matter what, the champion must be the Chinese team, both of them are outstanding athletes of the national team, and there is not much difference in strength, mainly depending on the performance and state on the spot, I hope both of them have excellent performance and bring a wonderful game to the fans!
