On May 6, 2024, there was an unexpected situation in the table tennis Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, South Korean player Zhu Qianxi abstained due to injury, singles Japanese star Miu Hirano was lucky to advance, doubles Bayo/Kukulova continued to advance, and Miu Hirano sat and waited for the national table tennis Olympic champion Chen Meng to fight.
South Korean player Zhu Qianxi is a naturalized player, who used to come from the provincial team, and now chooses to go out to develop, because her basic skills are particularly solid, in fact, many fans know about her, or play with Sun Yingsha to the beginning of the tiebreaker, and later Zhu Qianxi also created great difficulties for Wang Manyu, this newcomer is indeed very potential, everyone regrets this, and some outstanding young players have not been able to stay.
This season's performance is average, Zhu Qianxi lost to Chen Meng and others, it is difficult to improve the world ranking, and her own injuries are somewhat serious, which directly affects the on-the-spot performance, Zhu Qianxi signed up for two events, the women's doubles partner is Japanese player Kihara Miyu, does not occupy the quota of her association, and now she is forced to withdraw because of physical discomfort, and her opponent Miyu Hirano advances to the top 16 to avoid a competition.
Women's singles Miu Hirano advanced to the round of 16, women's doubles Bayo / Kukulova advanced to the top 8, Miu Hirano next against the winner of Chen Meng and Zhang Mo, Canadian player Zhang Mo will definitely not be able to stop Chen Meng, so Miu Hirano will fight Chen Meng again after the World Cup, there is basically no suspense, this game is worth paying attention to, for the current Chen Meng, the primary goal is to impact the championship and strive for a singles place.
Also plagued by injuries are Britain's Pitchford, Men's Doubles partner Kinkhor naturally gave up, and Egypt's Assal/Meshef announced their withdrawal from the competition, and a similar situation is likely to happen in the future, so it is important to take advantage of the results, but you still have to take care of your body, and the time for the Paris Olympics is getting closer, so you must make sure that nothing goes wrong.
The African star has no off-court guidance, and still defeated the main team of South Korea to advance, the competitive spirit is admirable, he is really not easy, Aruna 3-2 (11-9, 11-8, 7-11, 5-11, 13-11) eliminated Li Sang-so, you must know that Li Shangzhu has won the main force of national table tennis this year, and the threat it brings should not be underestimated, but after all, Aruna is better, and the deciding game is only 2 points away can be said to be very thrilling.
