The Paris Olympics are another relatively tiring day for Sun Yingsha, according to Paris time, Sun Yingsha will usher in a day of doubles, she will be at about 23 o'clock Beijing time this evening, ushered in the mixed doubles semifinals, partnered with Wang Chuqin against Korea's world No. 3 Shin Yubin and Lim Jong-hoon, this semi-final is also very important, win this match, they will enter the final. At 17 pm on July 31, Sun Yingsha will also play the second round of women's singles.
It is worth mentioning that this game will be broadcast at the same time as the swimming competition, so the table tennis game is not broadcast on CCTV's main channel, but on the event channel, which is what we call CCTV5+ channel.
Sun Yingsha's opponent in the second round will be Ni Xialian, who is also a well-known veteran, 61 years old is the oldest player to participate in this table tennis competition, and also one of the oldest players in this Olympic Games, she once helped the Chinese team win the world championship, after retiring in the small country of Luxembourg to rejuvenate the second spring, now she is playing to enjoy life. Ni Xialian won the first round relatively easily, and it should be more difficult to face Sun Yingsha in the second round. But for Sun Yingsha. This match will not be as easy as the first round, and it is not a problem to expect a win, but it will certainly be a little more difficult than the first game.
Ni Xialian has defeated Wang Yidi, the main force of the Chinese table tennis team, and Kuo Man, the main force of the national table tennis team in the World Cup, considering her age of 61 years old, this record is really very good. And Ni Xialian is the originator of the granular telephoto play, which is now the focus of India players on this style of play, which is the first to be created by Ni Xialian. This style of play has caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese women's team this year.
The only foreign war Sun lost this year, and the only one lost in the entire Paris Olympic cycle, was to India's Mujik. The reason why Wang Manyu lost the singles qualification was also because he lost to India's Batra. Both of them are playing this kind of telephoto granular type, and the landing point and rotation of her ball are not the same as ordinary playing styles, so this point needs to be paid attention to by Sun Yingsha.
For Ni Xialian, she also has an advantage, when she was interviewed by our Chinese reporters after the first round of the game, Ni Xialian said that her game task has been completed, that is to say, for Ni Xialian, she has no pressure to win or lose, and she can completely let go and enjoy the game. And Sun Yingsha definitely can't play with such a mentality, her goal is still to win the championship, so in terms of mentality, Ni Xialian will be more relaxed, looking forward to a wonderful game between the two sides. Finally, I would like to remind everyone that this game will not be broadcast live on CCTV's main channel. Be sure to lock in the CCTV event channel.
