On May 9th, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam ushered in a key showdown, and the first sister of the Japanese women's team, Hina Hayata, appeared on the stage to meet the impact of Batra, who was the big dark horse of India and eliminated the main force of national table tennis Wang Manyu.
At present, it seems that although the strange rubber athletes can be upset from time to time, after all, they have outstanding specialties and obvious loopholes, and it is difficult to continue to win.
Hina Hayada and Batra are all players who pose a greater threat to the national table tennis in the near future, the former has broken through the main force of the Chinese team at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, the Hangzhou Asian Games, and the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, with a very outstanding record, and the world ranking has also reached the fifth position, which can be called the number one opponent of the current national table tennis; The latter won against Chen Xingtong the year before last, and this Grand Slam upset Wang Manyu, and his condition is gradually improving.
From the perspective of overall strength, Hina Hayada should be above Batra, but the latter's long rubber play is unpredictable, it is very easy to create an upset, and Wang Manyu can be overturned in front, and this time it may not be impossible to break through Hina Hayata, the main force of Japan is facing a severe test, and it may drop the chain again at any time.
After the start of the game, Hina Hayada used her common winning method and increased the quality of the return ball to force the opponent, but one of the properties of the long rubber is that the more the ball turns, the more she returns the ball, and the intensity is not good to catch, Hina Hayada suffered a big loss, and the opportunity to be attacked by constantly returning the ball was wrong, and finally lost 7-11 and lost the first game.
In the second game, Hina Hayada played a relatively more disciplined game, first of all, she broke through more from Batra's forehand backhand, and secondly, the backhand ball was also more focused on the sharp and long, making it difficult for the opponent to borrow and add spins, and soon took the lead, and then pulled back a city 11-6, and the unfavorable situation was also alleviated.
In the third game, the game began to enter the rhythm of Hina Hayata, the ball in the two arcs was like a bamboo, coupled with the natural line advantage of the left hand to suppress Batra's middle position, and soon took a very large lead and got as many as 6 game points, and finally won the victory easily 11-4, and the big score was reversed 2-1.
In the fourth game, Batra did not give up lightly, but kept chasing points to try to turn the tables, Hina Hayada once led and was reversed, but still played very patiently, and finally won 13-11, and then won the fourth game 11-2 easily, thus eliminating the opponent in 4 consecutive games, advancing to the semifinals and continuing to impact the championship.
