The women's singles competition at the Paris Olympics is about to start, and Japan's Hina Hayada is undoubtedly the biggest threat to Chinese women's table tennis. The Japan player has performed impressively over the past year, beating China's women's table tennis mainstay three times in a row at the World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, the Asian Games in Hangzhou and the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, including Chen Meng, who will be competing in the tournament. The series of victories sparked speculation about her performance at the Paris Olympics.
Chinese women's table tennis head coach Li Falcon's evaluation of Hina Hayada has sparked a lot of discussion recently. Lee bluntly stated that he thought Hina Hayata's competitiveness was overestimated. He predicts that the Japan may not even reach the Women's Singles semi-finals, let alone meet China's Sun Yingsha or Chen Meng in the semifinals. Li Falcon's remarks immediately sparked a fierce reaction on the Internet.
Many netizens questioned Li Falcon's prediction. Some fans said in the comment section: "Li Falcon's evaluation seems to be a little too optimistic. Hina Hayada has been really strong lately, and I wonder if he's underestimating the strength of his opponent a bit. Another netizen believed: "Although Lee's words sound a bit blowing, judging from past matches, Hina Hayada is indeed improving." She's been very good among the outside players and I think it's still possible for her to make it to the last four. ”
There have also been some commentators who suggested that Li's comments may have been aimed at taking the pressure off the Chinese players and ensuring that they can focus during the match. "Lee may just want everyone not to worry too much about Hina Hayata, and to keep a relaxed mindset internally, so as not to focus all the pressure on this opponent." Someone analyzes it this way.
Another netizen felt that Li Falcon's remarks were completely personal: "Li Falcon's statement that Hina Hayada is not strong is actually not unreasonable. Although she has been doing well recently, there are also a number of outside players who can cause her problems. Lee hopes that our players can face all kinds of challenges in the best condition, and this is also for their good. ”
However, Hina Hayata's real performance greatly exceeded Lee's predictions. In the past year, she has not lost to any foreign players, and her performance has outperformed Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng. In contrast, Chen Meng lost to Romania's Szokos and Hina Hayada in the competition; Sun Yingsha also lost to Miu Hirano and Mukherjee of India. Hina Hayada has a very high chance of reaching the semi-finals of the women's singles at the Paris Olympics and is even expected to finish third in the women's singles.
One of Mukherjee's most striking features is her use of a backhand grainy serve. She uses this technique almost every time she serves, causing a lot of trouble for her opponents. Mukherjee's backhand grainy serve is often confusing for opponents with its varied spin and unpredictable twists and turns.
One of the distinguishing features of Mukherjee's serve is her ability to precisely control the power and direction of her spin on her serve. She will flexibly adjust the angle and spin of the serve according to the opponent's position and preparation, so that the ball changes unexpectedly during the flight. This makes it difficult for the opponent to accurately determine where the ball will land and spin the ball, which can lead to a missed catch or an inability to perform at its best.
Some netizens discussed Mukherjee's serve on social media, saying: "Mukherjee's backhand grainy serve is really amazing! Her serve always confuses her opponent and doesn't know how the ball will spin, which really tests the receiver's reflexes and technical level. ”
Another fan also offered his opinion: "I think the reason why Mukherjee's serve is so difficult to play against is because she is very skilled with backhand particles. Not only does her serve have a lot of spin, but she also has just the right amount of speed and arc, which is a great example of her technique. ”
Another netizen shared his feelings when watching Mukherjee's match: "I remember a game where her serve made her opponent's return completely wrong several times. Every time you serve, it's like a plug-in, which can always bring unexpected difficulties to the opponent. I was really impressed with her serve. ”
Of course, there are also some who have put forward a different opinion: "Mukherjee's serve is certainly strong, but it is not without a way to crack it. The key lies in the opponent's receiving skills and mastery of the rules of serving. If her opponent can quickly adapt to her serve, he may be able to find a way to deal with it. ”
For the Chinese women's table tennis, Hina Hayata's strong performance has brought a lot of pressure. This pressure is not only reflected in the strength of the opponent, but also in the preparation and psychological adjustment in the future.
Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng, as the main force of Chinese women's table tennis, must have some fluctuations in their hearts in the face of the challenge of Hina Hayata. Although Sun Yingsha holds a record of 16 wins against Hina Hayata, she also knows in her heart that this does not mean that Hina Hayada is not a threat. Surprises are possible in every fight, and Hina Hayata's skills and form are constantly improving. Sun Yingsha secretly reminded herself in her heart that she could not relax her vigilance because of her past achievements, after all, the situation of sports competition is changing all the time.
Chen Meng's situation is more complicated. She had already tasted Hina Hayata's "awesomeness" at the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, when she was caught off guard by the opponent's speed and change in the match. A few days after that match, Chen Meng had been reflecting in his heart, feeling that he was a little not calm enough when dealing with the other party. In the face of such an opponent, Chen Meng knew that simple technical and tactical preparation was far from enough, and she also needed to be fully prepared psychologically. Hina Hayada is not just a technical opponent, but also a psychological challenge.
In the next preparations, Chen Meng was more serious than usual every day. During training, she will deliberately simulate Hina Hayata's style of play, and even ask her coach to play Hina Hayada in training, so that she can better deal with it in actual combat. After each practice, Chen Meng would always sit down and watch the video repeatedly, analyze his performance in training, and find out his shortcomings.
At the same time, when Sun Yingsha is preparing for the war, she will also consciously strengthen her psychological quality training. She knows that despite the advantage in the record, that doesn't guarantee future victories. Every time she practiced, she thought about how to stay calm in the game and how to stay focused in key moments. She often told herself to keep a clear head and firm faith in the face of strong enemies.
The preparation of the Chinese women's table tennis is not only to deal with the challenge of Hina Hayata, but also to be able to deal with any opponent calmly. Every athlete is making the final sprint for the upcoming Paris Olympics. Every swing and every run they make is trying to play their best on the field. No matter what kind of challenges they face, Sun Yingsha and Chen Meng hope to show their strongest side in the competition and win glory for Chinese women's table tennis.
Hina Hayata's performance has proven that she is a force to be reckoned with. Chinese women's table tennis players will need to prepare carefully to meet the challenges that may arise and ensure that they can perform at their best at the Paris Olympics.
