The top eight of the national table tennis women's singles account for 5 seats, and Japan and South Korea only have individual soldiers left
The 2024 WTT China Grand Slam women's singles competition is in full swing, and the national table tennis army is like no one, sweeping the opponent all the way. However, Japanese and Korean players are not vegetarians, and Misei Ito and Xu Xiaoyuan stubbornly reached the quarterfinals, posing a big threat to national table tennis. Who will have the last laugh in this game? Let's wait and see!
The national table tennis army is pressing, and the wild card is controversial
In this competition, the national table tennis is really bloody! Sending 18 players to participate in the competition in one go, it was simply a surprise. However, with so many people participating, it will inevitably cause some criticism. Some people say that the national table tennis gets all the wild cards at home, which is not fair, right? Indeed, teams from other countries will definitely feel unhappy when they see it.
But, then again, people are hosts, and it's okay to give some preferential treatment. Besides, if the national table tennis is really so powerful, no matter how many wild cards you give them, it will be useless, and people can still win. However, some people said sourly that the national table tennis is preparing for the renewal after the Olympic Games. I see, this is simply because you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.
However, only 5 of the 18 people participated in the quarterfinals, which is not too impressive to be honest. Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu are the main players to enter the quarterfinals, which is expected. However, the two youngsters, He Zhuojia and Fan Siqi, performed well and were eye-catching. Especially Fan Siqi, who went all the way to the quarterfinals from the qualifying round and won 6 games in a row, this girl has something!
The Japanese and South Korean players tried their best, and only one soldier remained
Looking at the performance of Japanese and Korean players, to be honest, it is a bit miserable. The island country sent 6 people, but all 5 people were out, leaving Misei Ito alone. Korea is even worse, 7 people came to compete, 6 people packed home, leaving Xu Xiaoyuan alone to support.
However, Misei Ito's girl is not easy to mess with. Although she is only one person, her combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Last Olympics, she caused a lot of trouble to the national table tennis. This time she reached the quarterfinals, and it is estimated that the girls of national table tennis will have to be careful.
As for Seo Hyo-won of Korea, I have to say that this eldest sister is really a ruthless character. At the age of 37, he can still reach the quarterfinals, this perseverance and strength are really admirable. She's a chipper, with a special style of play, and it's quite troublesome to deal with. If the girls of national table tennis meet her, they should be more careful.
The rise of the new generation of national table tennis, He Zhuojia and Fan Siqi's performance is eye-catching
When it comes to the performance of national table tennis, I have to mention He Zhuojia and Fan Siqi, two young players. He Zhuojia swept Zhang Benmeihe 3-0, which is a big achievement. Although Zhang Benmei is not as famous as her brother Zhang Ben Tomokazu, she is also the main player of the island national team. He Zhuo can sweep her, which shows that this girl's strength should not be underestimated.
Fan Siqi's performance was even more surprising. Starting from the qualifying round, he won 6 games in a row to reach the quarterfinals, and this tenacious fighting spirit is really admirable. She may be the biggest dark horse of this competition. This girl has such a performance at a young age, and the future is promising!
However, the performance of the main players of national table tennis, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, cannot be ignored. They played steadily and steadily, passing all the way to the quarterfinals, showing the strength of the main force of national table tennis. Especially Sun Yingsha, as a world-ranked player, her every match has attracted much attention.
What is the reason for the poor performance of Japanese and Korean players?
To be honest, the performance of the Japanese and Korean players this time was really disappointing. Except for Misei Ito, the other players in the island country did not have any outstanding performances. Korea is even more left with Xu Xiaoyuan alone struggling to support. What's going on?
Some people say that it may be because the national table tennis is playing at home, taking advantage of the right time and place. Indeed, playing on their own doorstep, the players will definitely have more confidence and play better. However, this does not fully explain the poor performance of the Japanese and Korean players.
I think there could be other reasons. For example, the Japanese and South Korean teams may be in a period of adjustment, and the replacement of the old and the new is not smooth enough. Or maybe their training methods and strategies need to be improved. In any case, the performance of the Japanese and South Korean teams this time is indeed unsatisfactory, and I am afraid they will have to summarize it after they go back.
Will the table tennis landscape change?
After watching this competition, I can't help but think, will the pattern of table tennis change? National table tennis has always been the hegemon of table tennis, but in recent years, island countries and Korea have also been catching up. Especially in the island country, the rise of Misei Ito has caused a lot of pressure on the national table tennis.
However, judging from the results of this competition, the dominance of national table tennis seems to be very stable. With 5 quarter-finals, this is already quite impressive. Moreover, the rise of the new generation of players such as He Zhuojia and Fan Siqi also makes people see the future of national table tennis.
However, we should not take it lightly. The fact that Ito and Seo Hyo-won were able to reach the quarterfinals shows that players from other countries are also improving. If national table tennis wants to maintain its advantage, it must continue to work hard and innovate.
Overall, this WTT China Grand Slam women's singles tournament was exciting and addictive. The national table tennis has shown strong strength, and the performance of the new generation of players is also eye-catching. However, players from other countries are also catching up, and the table tennis arena will definitely be more intense and exciting in the future. Let's look forward to the next competition!
