On Saturday, December 4, the 2021 World Table Tennis Professional League World Cup Finals will start in Singapore . CCTV5 will broadcast the game live. A total of 9 Chinese men and women will participate in this game, launching an impact on the men's and women's singles championship. . In the first game to start at 11:00, World Table Tennis Championships women's singles third runner-up Wang Yidi will start the opening match. Her opponent is Puerto Rico's Diaz. In a singles match at 19:00 in the evening, Houston World Table Tennis Championships mixed doubles champion Wang Chuqin faced a tough battle with his contemporary Taipei teenager Lin Yunru. Both are rising stars in the world of men's table tennis. The left hand horizontal board, the strength is similar, the outcome is difficult to predict.
11:00 Wang Yidi VS Diaz, Polkanova VS Hitomi Sato, Lee Sang-sooVS Zheng Rongzhi
Wang Yidi only participated in the women's singles event at the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston, and even defeated two famous Japanese players in the first competition Hayata Hina and Mima Ito , which paved the way for the Chinese women's singles to successfully win the semi-finals. In the first round of this competition, they faced Puerto Rican teenager Diaz. The opponent had certain strength and had come to China many times to participate in training camps. She was in the World Table Tennis Championships In the fourth round of women's singles, she won 22 games over Sun Yingsha. Overall, Wang Yidi had the upper hand.
Japanese slicer Hitomi Sato, who has not appeared in the international arena for a long time, faced off against Austria's Polkanova in the first round. Sato Hitomi was once ranked close to the top 10 in the world. She and South Korea's Seo Hyo-won and Germany's Han Ying are considered equal. As a slicer with outstanding performance and skills in the world women's table tennis, I believe Hitomi Sato should be able to advance to the second round.
There was a Korean civil war in the first round of the men's singles. Jung Young-sik, who had withdrawn from the Korean national team, came to Singapore as a free agent. His opponent was his former doubles partner Lee Sang-soo. Both of them were ranked around 20th in the world. Their strength and The playing styles are similar and they are familiar with each other. I wonder what the competitive status of Zheng Rongzhi, who was unable to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, is. In this game, Lee Sangzhu has participated more recently, so he may have taken advantage of his familiarity.
14:30 Chen MengVS Kasumi Ishikawa, Chen XingtongVS Miu Hirano, Zhang YuzhenVS Pitchford
Chen Meng met Kasumi Ishikawa again after the women's singles quarter-finals of the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston. In 2019, Ishikawa Kasumi defeated Chen Meng once, but Chen Meng easily defeated his opponent in 4 straight games at the World Table Tennis Championships. Ishikawa Kasumi was obviously smaller in strength, and it was difficult to impress Chen Meng.
Chen Xingtong’s opponent is the 2016 World Cup women’s singles champion Miu Hirano. In the past, Miu Hirano has defeated the main national table tennis players except for the 2017 Asian Championships. She has not defeated the main national table tennis players in other games. Although the World Table Tennis Championships and Chen Meng struggled for 7 games and unfortunately lost, but Chen Xingtong is also a strong player with very solid forehand and backhand skills and will not let Miu Hirano pass easily.
South Korea's first brother Zhang Yuzhen met Britain's Pitchford in the first round. At the World Table Tennis Championships, Pitchford fought Liang Jingkun for 7 games. He almost overturned the national table tennis world champion and advanced to the top 8 of the men's singles, but it was only the deciding game. Still barely breathed out. This game is a close contest. Judging from his performance in the World Table Tennis Championships, Pitchford has the potential to recover and has a greater chance of winning.
19:00 Fan Zhendong VS Francesca, Feng Tianwei VS Tian Zhixi , Wang Chuqin VS Lin Yunru
Fan Zhendong, who just won the men's singles crown at the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time, ushered in the German doubles master Francesca. I believe the outcome of this game is suspense. No big deal. Singapore’s Feng Tianwei, the host nation, played South Korea’s Tian Zhixi in the first match. The two have the same experience. They both developed solid basic skills in China when they were young. They have played overseas and are one of the strong rivals of Chinese women’s table tennis. Feng Tianwei may win by virtue of her home court. Down the opponent.
The match between Wang Chuqin and Lin Yunru should be the focus of the first day of competition. The two are the same age, have similar playing styles, and are both left-handed. They have developed in singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles, but Lin Yunru got more opportunities in the World Series in Taipei. Wang Chuqin reached the top 16 of the men's singles, the top 8 of the men's doubles and won the mixed doubles in Houston. His results were better than Lin Yunru's, but there were still a lot of direct conversations between the two. What’s interesting is that the two will be the main front-runners in the international men’s table tennis world in the future.
