In the women's singles quarterfinals of the WTT Grand Slam in Saudi Arabia, Chinese table tennis star Wang Yidi narrowly defeated Japanese powerhouse Misei Ito 4-3, and this exciting peak duel undoubtedly wrote a moving legend for the 27-year-old Liaoning girl.
"I believe that as long as you do your best, everything will work out." This is Wang Yidi's sincere answer when he calmly faced the media's questions after the game.

This Liaoning girl has been deeply in love with table tennis since she was a child, and with her own talent and hard work, she has emerged step by step in the table tennis world and has become one of the most outstanding players in the women's table tennis world today. From defeating Misei Ito at the Hong Kong Open in 2019 to defeating her rival again at the 2022 Table Tennis Asian Cup, Wang Yidi's glorious record has undoubtedly proved her strength.
However, just last year, the table tennis star suffered a difficult low period. Faced with a strong challenge from the Japanese athletes, she lost several matches in a row at one point, and even lost the chance to participate in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

But as Wang Yidi said, as long as you do your best, everything will be solved.
