At noon on October 22, Beijing time, the table tennis WTT championship match ushered in a focus duel. The national table tennis Olympic champion Sun Yingsha appeared, facing China Taipei World runner-up Zheng Yijing . Before this, the other two Olympic champions of the national table tennis women's team, , Wang Manyu, and , Chen Meng, , were eliminated one after another, and Zheng Yijing had defeated Sun Yingsha before, so Sasha's pressure can be imagined.
However, Zheng Yijing is hard to improve her courage nowadays. In the end, she lost 0-3 and was half born in the singles quarterfinals: Sun Yingsha is about to face the super dark horse Yuan Jianan (winning Wang Manyu in a row, Ishikawa Kasumi ), Fan Zhendong will compete with Lin Yunru !
Zheng Yijing is a very powerful athlete, and unlike most female table tennis masters, her forehand is stronger than her backhand, and her arc ball is strong, which is an important guarantee for her score. However, due to the lack of women's strength, Zheng Yijing is prone to suffer losses when encountering athletes with particularly powerful backhands, so it is difficult to win the championship.
Before this, Sun Yingsha and Zheng Yijing had two matches, 1 win and 1 loss, but Sun Yingsha lost in 2018. Now four years later, Zheng Yijing is already a 30-year-old veteran, and it is not realistic to defeat Sasha, the world's number one.
As expected, after the game started, Sun Yingsha took the lead and won the first game 11-4. A little similar to Zheng Yijing, Sun Yingsha also prefers to use forehand, but her backhand is much stronger than Zheng Yijing. Four years ago, Sun Yingsha was a 17-year-old young player and her strength was still insufficient, so she suffered a loss when she fought with Zheng Yijing. Now that she has the advantage of both forward and backhand, it is difficult for Zheng Yijing to deal with.
Zheng Yijing played tenaciously in the second game, creating a certain threat to Sun Yingsha, but the game was still under Sun Yingsha's control in general. She then won another game 11-8, leading the opponent 2-0 to a big score.
in the third game, Zheng Yijing fought back, but was still suppressed by the opponent. In the end, Sun Yingsha beat the opponent 11-3, swept the seniors 3-0 to advance, just two steps away from winning the championship!
In another quarter-final that ended before, the French Chinese star Yuan Jianan, who eliminated Wang Manyu and advanced, continued to be upset and knocked down Japanese world champion Kasumi Ishikawa 3-1. He is indeed a veritable super dark horse! Next, Yuan Jianan will compete with Sun Yingsha in the semi-finals. So can Shasha withstand the pressure and defend the position of the women's singles for the national table tennis team?
answer is about to be revealed, let’s wait for the battle of the semi-finals to kick off!
