In the semifinals of the U15 women's team of the 2024 Asian Youth Championships, the Chinese women's team defeated the Chinese Taipei women's team 3-1. In the semifinals of the women's team, the 12-year-old national table tennis player Zhu Qihui played a decisive role. In the first set of singles competition, national table tennis player Yang Huize lost 1-3 to Chen Qiyun of the Taipei team.
Chen Qiyun won the first two games 11-9 and 15-13 respectively, leading 2-0, and Yang Huize pulled back a game 11-9. If the fourth game is won, it will be dragged into the tiebreaker, and in the end, Yang Huize lost the fourth game 10-12. In this way, the Taipei women's team took a 1-0 lead, and Zhu Qihui, as the youngest member of the women's team, would fall into passivity if she lost in the third set.
Zhu Qihui showed the ability of Sun Yingsha to have a big heart, the competitor was older than her, and Zhu Qihui was dragged into the deciding game by the opponent when she was leading 2-0. Zhu Qihui successfully won 11-6 in the deciding game, thus defeating Wu Yingxuan of the Taipei Women's Team 3-2.
In the second set of the women's singles competition, national table tennis player Yao Ruixuan defeated Chen Xinxin 3-1, and won the fourth game 15-13, but was not dragged into the deciding set by the opponent and tied the total score. If Zhu Qihui loses the third set, then the Taipei women's team will be able to drag the game into the deciding set, and the outcome will really be unknown at that time.
Zhu Qihui's hairstyle is similar to Sun Yingsha's, this young player did not panic when the opponent tied the score, and showed the ability to resist pressure that does not match his age. It's no wonder that she will be selected for the Asian Youth Championships this time, because the player's ability to withstand pressure can indeed determine the direction of the game at critical moments.
Yang Huize swept Chen Xinxin 3-0 in the fourth set, so that the Chinese women's team defeated the opponent 3-1, and the U15 women's team reached the final, and the opponent in the final was the Hong Kong women's team. The U15 Hong Kong women's team narrowly defeated the U15 Japanese women's team 3-2, causing a lot of upsets, and the probability of the Chinese U15 women's team winning the championship is still very high.
The U19 women's team also reached the final, beating South Korea in the semi-finals. Zong Geman swept Park Ga-hyun 3-0 in the first set, winning the first game 11-8, and the next two games 11-3 and 11-6 respectively. Zonggerman is relatively fast, and wins quickly with less error.
Zong Geman has not participated in the Asian Youth Championships for a long time, as Liu Shiwen's provincial team sister Zong Geman has always been favored by fans, I don't know if she can win the singles match in the Asian Youth Championships this time. In the second set, it was Qin Yuxuan, who defeated South Korea's Kim Eun-seo 3-1. Qin Yuxuan won two games in a row 11-2 and 11-5 respectively when the two sides played 1-1, and her hard power was indeed above her opponent.
Zhang Xiangyu, who played in the third set of the U19 women's team, swept Jin Duoxi 3-0, Zhang Xiangyu won the first two games 11-6 and 11-5 respectively, and the third game directly played a disparity of 11-1. At present, the U19 Chinese women's team is the strongest, and it is difficult to win even if the adult main force of the Korean women's team plays against it.
Qin Yuxuan dragged Qian Tianyi into the tiebreaker this year, and her real level is no longer weaker than that of the senior team. The U19 Chinese women's team will face the Japanese women's team in the final, and this time the Japanese women's team also swept the Chinese Taipei women's team 3-0, showing a strong competitive state, so the women's team final will be quite intense.
The U15 men's team faced the Japanese men's team in the semifinals, Tang Yiren defeated the Japanese team Kawakami Meteor 3-1 in the first set, Tang Yiren easily won the first two games 11-8 and 11-3 respectively, and the two sides won one game each. Li and Chen defeated Iwaida Junto 3-1 in the second set, and Li and Chen won two games in a row 11-5 and 11-8 respectively with the two sides tied 1-1.
Unexpectedly, in the third set, Yoshida Cang of the Japanese men's team narrowly defeated Wang Zining of the national table tennis 3-2, and Yoshida Cang won two games in a row 11-8 and 11-9 respectively when the big score was 1-2 behind, so that the two sides entered the fourth set of the competition. Kawakami Meteor narrowly defeated Li Hechen 3-2 in the fourth set and dragged the aggregate score into the deciding set.
The U19 men's team defeated the Japanese men's team 3-1 and reached the men's team final. National table tennis player Sun Yang lost 2-3 to Yoshiyama and Nozomi in the first set, and Sun Yang was reversed by his opponent 4-11 in a row with a big score of 2-1 lead. Wen Ruibo narrowly defeated Yufei Sakai 3-2 in the second set, and the first four games were won by both sides in two games each, and Wen Ruibo showed his big heart ability in the deciding game, narrowly beating his opponent 12-10.
Wen Ruibo was originally 7-2 ahead in the tiebreaker, but was chased by the opponent to 10-10, but he still retired because of the retreat, which is what should be paid attention to in the future. Chen Junxiang defeated Yasuwa Ono 3-1 in the third set, and Chen Junxiang won 13-11 in the fourth game, almost being chased by his opponent to the tiebreaker, and it can be seen that the gap between the two sides is very small.
Wen Ruibo defeated Kazuki Yoshiyama 3-1 in the fourth set, and was pulled back by his opponent after leading 2-0, and won easily overall. In this way, the U19 men's team will face the Korean men's team in the final, and it will be a tough battle again.
And Tang Yiren of the U15 men's team was defeated 3:0 by Toshito Iwaida of the Japanese team in the deciding set of the fifth set. In this way, the U15 men's team stopped in the semi-finals and missed the finals.
