The WTT Bangkok Stars Tournament produced the Mixed Doubles final, with Japan's Tomokazu Haramoto/Hina Hayada advancing to face Hong Kong's Wong Chun Ting/To Hoi Kim for the title. Luck + strength, Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada is only one step away from success, and winning the championship can come to second.
Luck + strength
This Bangkok is the last international event before the start of the Olympic Games, and after this competition, all the rankings of the Olympic Games will be released! The Mixed Doubles competition is fierce, with Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha ranked No. 1 in the world, Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin in second, and Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada ranked third. The first of Shatou is certain, and the second and third are in suspense. Seizing the opportunity of not playing in national table tennis, Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada has been spinning and has been brushing up points, and the victory or defeat is in the key stop of the Bangkok competition!
Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada want to overtake Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin, not only need to win the championship themselves, but also need the Korean pair Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin to give them a chance. Once the Koreans reach the final, all the suspense will end and they will lock up second. Under pressure, Lim Jong-hoon/Shin Yu-bin still made mistakes, losing 2-3 to Thailand's Tanverivic/Sutasini, and failed to reach the semi-finals. Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada played steadily, played their own strength, and successfully advanced to the finals!
Luck stood with Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata, and they seized this opportunity with their own strength and their steady play. In the semi-finals, facing the strong opponent Hong Kong pair Lin Yunru/Chen Siyu, Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada fought very fiercely and defeated the opponent 3-1. The strength of the two sides is very close, and the last two games are all fought until the last two points to determine the winner!
The brothers didn't budge
In the final battle, Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada faced off against Huang Zhenting/Du Kaiqin. Japanese table tennis can be said to be determined to win, and the brother team Hong Kong, China combination will not give an inch, and it will inevitably go all out to block the opponent!
From the perspective of personal technical strength, Tomokazu Zhang and Hina Hayada are stronger than Huang Zhenting and Du Kaiqin. Moreover, Tomokazu Zhang and Hina Hayada are younger, and they are more ferocious in fighting. Huang Zhenting/Du Kaiqin are not all disadvantages, they are old partners who have been paired since the Tokyo cycle, and have also beaten Liu Shiwen/Xu Xin. The tacit understanding is very high, and it can be said that it has played a 1+1>2 effect!
The strength of the two pairs is very close, and if Wong Chun Ting/To Hoi Kim want to win, they must play steadily, especially in the opening stage, they must not be slow and need to put pressure on their opponents. When entering a key game, or a key point, the advantage of Huang Zhenting/Du Kaiqin's experience and tacit understanding will be reflected. Similarly, if Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada want to win the championship, they must rush up, and if they can establish an advantage in the opening game, then the game will go more and more smoothly. Hina Hayada only has a mixed doubles event and is full of fitness. Zhang Benzhihe is a three-person player, and he has been rotating continuously in recent times, the pressure of preparing for the war is relatively high, and his physical fitness is being tested!
The opportunity is just around the corner, and the final will depend on whether Tomokazu Haramoto/Hina Hayada can grasp it. As long as he becomes second, the Olympics will be able to avoid the Shatou combination and play again in the final, which will be more conducive to Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayata. I hope that Huang Zhenting/Du Kaiqin can play in good shape and try to find out the strength of the opponent for the national table tennis as much as possible!
