On May 17, Beijing time, the two semifinals of the women's singles event came to an end, and the Japanese team won the championship and runner-up.
In this competition, all the national table tennis gave up participating, most of the masters of the foreign association did not play, and the Japanese second-tier athletes were still able to win the championship and runner-up, showing their rich talent reserve advantages, and they deserve to be the strong rivals of national table tennis - please see below for details.
As we all know, the Japanese table tennis team has made rapid progress in recent years, especially the women's team is a veritable world second, and this year almost snatched the team championship of the Busan World Table Tennis Championships from the national table tennis.
For example, Hitomi Sato is one of the five main forces, has defeated the national table tennis Grand Slam Ding Ning twice, and was also selected for the Chengdu Team World Table Tennis Championships in 2022, and was overtaken by Zhang Benmeihe and others soon after, and now she was born in 1997, although she is only 27 years old, she has become a second-tier athlete of the Japanese team, but in fact, her strength can still rank in the upper reaches of the foreign association, and she is by no means a general.
As mentioned earlier, all the national table tennis players were absent in this competition, and there were few masters in foreign associations, so Hitomi Sato was already a top-level athlete. In the women's singles quarterfinals, Hitomi Sato played bravely and eliminated India's Batra 3-1 (who had just beaten Olympic champion Wang Manyu in an upset), while Japan finally had three players advance to the women's singles semifinals and had an absolute advantage.
The only exception was Batra's team-mate Roy of India, but she was swept away 2-11, 6-11, 4-11 in the semi-finals against Japan's Satsuki Oto, who sealed the Women's Singles title early.
As for Hitomi Sato, he met Hashimoto Honoka who had the same chipping style as himself in the second half of the area, and the latter was also an athlete who won the main force of national table tennis Chen Xingtong, but now he has also been reduced to a second-tier athlete, and as a result, this "double cutting" battle ended with Hitomi Sato winning 3-0 (11-7, 11-6, 11-9), and the final arrangement was released, that is, Hitomi Sato VS Satsuki Oto.
Although Hitomi Sato is stronger than Satsuki Oto in terms of performance, the latter is younger (born in 2004) after all, and has achieved many good results in foreign wars in the past year, so who can have the last laugh to win the championship in this Japanese civil war? Sit back and wait for the final to begin.
