The Korean table tennis has become a dark horse at the Paris Olympics, knocking out world No. 2 Japanese table tennis pair Tomokazu Zhangmoto/Hina Hayada in the mixed doubles event, followed by Sweden's Carlsen/Carlberg in eight, and Hong Kong's Wong Chun Ting/To Hoi Kin in the semi-finals. But the pace of Ping Pong is still advancing, and they seem to be going to the end.
North Korean women's singles star Bian Songjing actually beat the world No. 12 Diaz to cover his face and cry, what kind of rhythm is this? Bian Songjing actually has such strength? On July 31, the top 8 match was an epic reversal, Diaz once led Bian Songjing 3-0, but he didn't expect that Bian Songjing won in the end, which is what we often say to let three chase four.
In this big battle, the first three games of Bian Songjing: 6-11, 6-11, 9-11 defeat can be said to be completely suppressed by Diaz, in the fourth game Diaz actually has a 4-0 sweep opportunity to once hit 9-9, I didn't expect the key point Bian Songjing broke out and bitten, from here the situation took a sharp turn, Bian Songjing 11-9, 11-8, 11-6, 11-7 in four consecutive games, the decisive game Diaz has collapsed directly 6-10 behind.
Diaz's expression after the match said it all, you must know that Bian Songjing's world ranking is only 168, yes, the world rankings of the two are very different, who would have thought that North Korean player Bian Songjing could complete the feat of letting three chase four?
Bian Songjing has not had an easy journey, 4-1 Du Kaiqin, 4-3 Mitland, 4-3 Diaz, and her opponent in the quarterfinals is Hina, the top seed in Japanese table tennis.
Hina Hayada reached the quarterfinals without dropping a game in the women's singles, but the Japanese media still told Hina Hayada not to be underestimated against Bian Matsujing, who was eliminated 4-4 against world No. 1 Sun Yingsha at last year's Hangzhou Asian Games.
