At 23:55 on May 9, Beijing time, in the women's singles 1/8 finals, Sun Yingsha swept her opponent Tian Zhixi of South Korea, only allowing her opponent to score 10 points in three games, and even played a huge score difference of 11-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals.
The last time the two met was in the 1/16 finals of the Frankfurt Championship in November last year, when Sun Yingsha also beat Tian Zhixi 3-0, but the scores in the three games were relatively similar, 11-6, 11-8, 11-8, and Tian Zhixi scored a total of 22 points at that time. has not played for half a year, and it can be seen from Tian Zhixi's score that Sun Yingsha has obviously risen in the ball, and there is a feeling of "Shibei should be impressed for three days".
In the first game of this encounter, it can be seen that Tian Zhixi wants to use fighting tactics, but her line was predicted by Sun Yingsha, and she couldn't catch the serve well, and soon Sasha took the first game 11-4.
In the second game, Sun Yingsha took advantage of the victory to chase, whether it was serving or receiving, she handled it very delicately, and took every ball very seriously. Tian Zhixi had nothing to do about it, and he only scored 1 point in the whole game, and was quickly beaten by Sun Yingsha 11-1.
At the beginning of the third game, Sun Yingsha led 3-0, and Tian Zhixi called a timeout helplessly. Her off-court guidance also gave tactical guidance, and in the face of Sun Yingsha, those guidance theories could not be practiced at all, but it was slightly better than the first two games, and finally Sasha ended the game 11-5.
As we all know, Tian Zhixi is a Korean-Chinese player, originally from Hebei, and is considered a fellow countryman of Sasha, and the two have a good personal relationship. Once Sasha went to South Korea to compete and couldn't get used to eating local food, Tian Zhixi would also open a small stove for her to order takeout.
In this game, Sun Yingsha was ruthless in the face of Sister Tian, and even played an 11-1 score, without conceding a few balls because of her private feelings. In the author's opinion, this is the greatest respect for her Sister Tian, as a competitive athlete, only by going all out can you know what the strength level of the two sides is, which will also help to improve the skills and tactics of both sides.
Congratulations to Sun Yingsha for advancing to the quarterfinals, she will have two matches in one day tomorrow. The mixed doubles has reached the final, and the women's singles will be competing for the semi-finals, so hopefully she can rest well and be in the best shape for tomorrow's match.
