Lead
In the women's singles table tennis 1/4 finals of the Paris Olympics, Chen Meng swept her opponent 4-0 and successfully advanced to the semifinals, and will face the winner of Sun Yingsha in the semifinals.
On the other side, the semi-final match is Korea's Zheng Yijing against Japan's Hina Hayata, both of whom are also fierce rivals of mainland table tennis players.
However, such a situation is not impossible in the final of the former, so for Sun Yingsha, she will usher in the biggest test.
So what is the situation in the semi-finals after the quarter-finals?
What will be the result?
The semi-finals are finalized.
In the 1/4 match, Chen Meng's opponent was Sofia · Polkanova from Bulgaria, and the two had met once before, in the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships team event, when Chen Meng won 3-1.
However, the previous encounters do not mean that the opponent's strength is weaker, after all, the table tennis game itself is very uncertain.
Therefore, in the 1/4 finals, Chen Meng was also bloodless, swept the opponent 4-0, eliminated the opponent from the 1/4 finals, and advanced to the semifinals.
In this game, Chen Meng almost perfectly showed his strength, one serve after another, point after point, defeated the opponent with a score of 8, 5, 4, 8, won the victory directly, and advanced to the semifinals.
Another quarter-final matchup was also in the spotlight, with Asian table tennis star and defending mixed doubles champion Shin Yubin, as well as a very strong but ultimately too strong opponent of Japan Miu Hirano.
In the first three games of the game, Shen Yubin played a very aggressive game, but in the first game, Shen Yubin lost 1:3 and fell behind by one game.
But in the following matches, Shin Yubin played a very tenacious fighting spirit, first winning the game 11-3 in the fourth game, and then winning the game again 11-3 in the fifth game.
However, in the deciding game, the strength of the two was also very close, and in the end, Shin Yubin narrowly defeated his opponent with a score of 11-8 and defeated Miu Hirano with a score of 4-3 to advance to the semifinals.
In the semi-finals, Shin Yu-bin faced last year's World Table Tennis Championships women's singles champion Bian Songjing of North Korea, while the other semi-final was against Japan's Hina Hayada and Korea's Jung Yijing.
In the previous game, Zheng Yijing also defeated Ding Ning from Chinese Taipei with a score of 4-0 in the 1/4 finals and advanced to the semifinals.
Hina Hayada also defeated Feng Tianwei of Singapore and advanced to the semifinals, so in the semifinals, the strength of the players from Asia can be said to be very strong.
The two players, Shen Yubin and Bian Songjing, are very good in terms of strength and record, and now the duel between the two at the Paris Olympics will also be a very exciting match.
The other match between Hina Hayada and Zheng Yijing has also attracted much attention, the two have played against each other at the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic Games before, and Zheng Yijing's winning rate is usually very high.
In this Paris Olympics, Zheng Yijing also showed very strong strength, so no matter which game it is, it will be a very exciting one.
Sun Yingsha easily advanced.
In the quarterfinals, Sun Yingsha's opponent was Zheng Yijing from Korea, and the two had played each other many times before, with Sun Yingsha having a slight upper hand with a 7-3 record.
In the 1/4 finals, the duel between Sun Yingsha and Zheng Yijing was also very exciting, but it ended quickly, Sun Yingsha defeated her opponent with a score of 4-0 and directly advanced to the semifinals.
In the first game of the 1/4 finals, Sun Yingsha easily won the game with a score of 11-3, and in the second game, Zheng Yijing also showed a very big fighting spirit, and the score was repeated several times, but in the end she lost 10-12.
In the next two matches, Sun Yingsha won 11-5 and 11-6 to advance to the semi-finals, where she awaited the winner of Hina Hayada and Zheng Yijing.
In the semi-finals, Sun Yingsha will face Hina Hayada or Zheng Yijing, no matter which opponent is two players who are very familiar with her.
In the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha defeated Hina Hayada in the final and won the first gold medal in the World Table Tennis Championships in her career, and she is also the first Chinese table tennis player in the world to win a Grand Slam.
The same is true for the subsequent Olympic Games, so for Sun Yingsha, whether it is Hina Hayada or Zheng Yijing, it will be a very big challenge.
Among them, Hina Hayada will face off against Bian Songjing in the semifinals, and the two have also played against each other many times, having played once at the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, when Hina Hayada defeated her opponent with a 3-0 record.
In the 2018 World Table Tennis Championships, Hina Hayada also had a slight upper hand with a 3-1 record, but it can be seen that the gap between the two is still very small.
And the duel between Hina Hayada and Sun Yingsha, no matter who wins, has a chance, but Bian Songjing is also very good, since Hina Hayada can advance to the semifinals, then her strength is also very strong.
The situation in the second half of the table is promising.
In this round of semi-finals, I have to say that the signing situation this time is very favorable, and there are two people who occupy a relatively large possibility, namely Chen Meng, Shen Yubin and Sun Yingsha.
After all, in the Olympic Games, Chen Meng participated as the defending champion, and at the same time, in the women's singles competition of this Olympic Games, Chen Meng's opponent is also very strong.
All the way from the 1/16 finals, Chen Meng's opponents are very strong, so it is already very remarkable that she can successfully advance to the semifinals.
Liu Shiwen, who also won the singles championship of the 2019 World Table Tennis Championships, in the semifinals, her opponent was North Korean player Lee Jae-eun, and Liu Shiwen's previous record against Lee Jae-eun was 5-1, obviously having the upper hand.
Therefore, in the semi-finals, Liu Shiwen faced North Korean player Lee Jae-eun and had the upper hand in strength, while in the semifinals on the other side, whether it was Bian Songjing or Hina Hayata, they had a lot of fights with Sun Yingsha.
Therefore, no matter which player fights against Sun Yingsha, it will be a very exciting game, and Bian Songjing also has a very strong strength.
But it's also likely to be Hina Hayata, so no matter who it is, Sun Yingsha, as the world No. 1 player, will undoubtedly be the biggest test.
epilogue
In the 1/4 finals, Chen Meng easily advanced, and in the semi-finals, Sun Yingsha also easily advanced to the semifinals.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that there will be a very good performance in this Paris Olympic Games, and even a very good harvest.
