The dust has settled on the women's singles semifinals of the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and the national table tennis three will successfully advance, while Hina Hayada is the only one left in the foreign association. The match day on May 10 can be described as fierce, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng, and Wang Yidi each entered the next round with their steady performance, and will protect the honor of national table tennis. However, Hina Hayada of the Foreign Association also broke through strongly and once again challenged the absolute superiority of the Chinese team.
Sun Yingsha's match against Qian Tianyi is particularly interesting. Both players were born in 2000, but Sun Yingsha has made remarkable achievements in recent years and has become the number one person in the national table tennis women's team. After the start of the game, Sun Yingsha had the upper hand in a strong state, and played a disparity of 11-0 in the first game. Next, Sun Yingsha did not relent, winning consecutive victories with a score of 11-6, 11-3, 11-6, eliminating her teammates cleanly and easily advancing to the semifinals.
Chen Meng's 4-1 victory over Japanese teenager Miwa Zhangmoto showed strong psychological quality in key matches. She won three games in a row, 11-6, 11-9, 11-4, and after being slightly conservative in the fourth game and reversed 9-11, she quickly adjusted her form and won the fifth game 11-8. The victory puts her one step closer to qualifying for the Olympic singles team, and as long as she wins against Hina Hayata, she will surpass Wang Manyu to become the second choice for the women's national table tennis team.
The most dramatic was the contest between Wang Yidi and Misei Ito. Both are at a low point in their careers, but both are eager to prove themselves in this Grand Slam. Wang Yidi was counterattacked by his opponent after winning two games in a row 11-5 and 11-8, losing 7-11 in the third game and almost reversing in the fourth game, and finally won 12-10. However, she then lost 9-11, 6-11 in a row to send the match to a decider. In the end, she won 11-8 and defeated Mimato Ito 4-3 on aggregate.
Japan's Hina Hayada showed consistency in her 4-1 win over India's dark horse Batra. Although she was caught off guard by Batra in the first game and lost 11-8, in the next four games, she scored consecutive points with her strong curve ball strength, and finally completed the reversal 11-6, 11-4, 13-11, 11-2, becoming the only player from the foreign association to break into the women's singles semifinals.
The three national table tennis players will gather in the semifinals, but whether Chen Meng can defeat Hina Hayada and lock in the Olympic qualification is still in suspense. Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi's "civil war" will also become a highlight. Fans generally believe that Sun Yingsha, as the top seed in national table tennis, has a better chance of winning, but she must also avoid underestimating the enemy. For Wang Yidi, this competition is an opportunity to regain morale and desire to secure a solid position for himself through more consistent performances.
On the whole, the release of the women's singles semifinals of the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam added suspense to the match. The national table tennis team should continue to maintain the fighting spirit of not fearing strong opponents and going all out in the next competitions to ensure that there are no regrets in the Olympic qualification battle. Fans are looking forward to the next "battle of life and death", especially Chen Meng's performance will be the focus. Hopefully, she can break through at the last minute and win this crucial foreign battle. On the other hand, Hina Hayata, as the only hope for the Japanese team, will also bring a bigger challenge, so let's witness this pinnacle matchup together.
