In the early morning of May 8, Beijing time, the top 16 of the 2024 Table Tennis Saudi Arabia Grand Slam women's singles were all born, and only Wang Manyu was out of the second round of the 6 golden flowers of national table tennis, and the remaining 5 Sun Yingsha, Wang Yidi, Chen Meng, Chen Xingtong, and Qian Tianyi joined hands to break into the top 16. In the next 1/8 finals, Chen Meng will face Miyu Hirano, the main force of Japanese table tennis, Sun Yingsha will face the South Korean star Tian Zhixi, Wang Yidi received his old opponent Yang Xiaoxin, Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi started the first civil war of the national table tennis station. In terms of foreign players, Japanese table tennis Miwa Zhangmoto, Miyu Hirano, Hina Hayata, Miyu Kihara and Misei Ito 5 people entered the top 16, and even caught up with the national table tennis in terms of the number of promotions. The specific situation of the women's singles 1/8 finals is detailed below.
1. The first half of the area: the national table tennis 4 flowers gather at the top, and the Japanese table tennis double American civil war
In the first half of the area, there are four golden flowers of national table tennis, Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi's opponents in this round are Chinese, and Chen Xingtong faced teammate Qian Tianyi is the first civil war in national table tennis. Therefore, the opponents in this round of national table tennis are full of Chinese elements. Japanese table tennis ushered in the second women's civil war.
1. Sun Yingsha (China) VS Tian Zhixi (South Korea)
Sun Yingsha has the highest status in Tian Zhixi's heart. In terms of the strength of the two, there is also a significant gap, Sun Yingsha does not make Tian Zhixi cry, and her subordinates are merciful. Tian Zhixi played against the national table tennis twice this year, losing to Chen Meng and Wang Manyu respectively.
2. Qian Tianyi (China) VS Chen Xingtong (China)
Chen Xingtong and Qian Tianyi once won the women's doubles championship at the Doha Star Challenge in January, and they are very familiar with each other. In terms of playing style, the two have their own strengths, and it depends on the on-the-spot performance. Now that both of them have the possibility of becoming a P card, this battle is crucial, and whoever wins will have a huge advantage.
3. Wang Yidi (China) VS Yang Xiaoxin (Monaco)
Wang Yidi and Yang Xiaoxin last met in the first round of the Incheon Championship, where Wang Yidi won 3-1 (13-11, 11-2, 8-11, 11-9). Yang Xiaoxin's particle playing style belongs to the traditional Chinese style, and Wang Yidi is not stunned.
4. Miyo Ito (Japan) VS Miyu Kihara (Japan)
This is the second civil war of the Japanese women's table tennis team, and in the first round, Miyu Kihara eliminated teammate Mixiu Nagasaki strongly. In this round of the civil war between the United States and the United States, both of them are granular rubber, and the difference in strength between them is unknown. I feel that Ito Misei will have a slight upper hand, after all, she has a lot more competition experience and experience than Kihara Miyu.
Second, the second half of the area: Chen Meng is alone, taking on the three main forces of Japanese table tennis
In the second half of the game, because Wang Manyu was out of the game in advance, it became a situation where Chen Meng was alone, Chen Meng wanted to complete the goal of "not losing the civil war = going to the Olympic singles", and he needed to continuously overturn the three main forces of Japanese table tennis, Miyu Hirano, Miwa Zhangmoto, and Hina Hayata, which is difficult, challenging, and has a huge sense of temptation.
5. Miwa Zhang (Japan) VS Picorin (Italy)
Zhang Benmeihe has experienced the baptism of several competitions, and now has made qualitative progress. A player like Picolin, who is not well-founded, will definitely not be able to stop Zhang Benmeihe's high-speed fight.
6. Miu Hirano (Japan) VS Chen Meng (China)
Miu Hirano's form has risen this week, and she also swept Wang Yidi once at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan. Chen Meng is very stable now, she really doesn't have a clear killing routine, but she doesn't have any obvious shortcomings. In this battle, as long as Big Dream can crack Miyu Hirano's backhand line suppression, he will definitely win.
7. Hina Hayada (Japan) VS Zheng Yijing (Chinese Taipei)
Hina Hayada suffered a small change in nose bleeding in the last round, and I don't know if there is anything wrong with her body. If the physical indicators are normal, Hina Hayata's current state is enough to easily defeat Zheng Yijing.
8. Nina Mittram (Germany) VS Batra (India)
Nina's strength has always been a mystery, weak and strong, and the truth is unknown. Batra's long gum particle play showed strong signs of evolution in the battle against Wang Manyu. If Wang Manyu is used as a reference medium, Nina can't walk the 6-point passing line under Wang Manyu, and Batra just won 3-1 on Wang Manyu. Therefore, the result is that Batra is likely to defeat Nina and reach the top 8 of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career.
