Table Tennis WTT US Westchester Tournament has come to an end. On May 15, Beijing time, the list of the women's singles semi-finals was officially released. What is very surprising is that the top 4 seeds have been wiped out, and the world runner-up Zheng Yijing and others were eliminated, while Japanese team actually entered the semi-finals, which is close to winning the championship: the national table tennis team does not participate in the competition, they are really majestic!
In the WTT US Fremont Championship that ended a few days ago, Japanese athletes showed super competitiveness. Among them, Satoo Asuka and Koshita Haruna performed their courage and eliminated Shen Yubin , Chen Siyu and other famous leaders in the finals, and finally helped the team win the championship and runner-up in the women's singles event. At that time, Zheng Yijing lost to her teammates, so she did not compete with Japanese athletes.
In this Westchester Tournament, as the best singles competition and ranked No. 3 seed seat, Zheng Yijing performed very well in the third round, swept Japanese player Yoshimoto Kawa 4-0, and played the world runner-up style, so everyone thinks she has hope to win the championship this time.
However, immediately following the fourth round of the game, Zheng Yijing collapsed when facing another Japanese athlete, Mori Sakura. She beat her opponent 11-2 in the first game, and was then won by four consecutive games (5-11, 7-11, 8-11, 3-11) - let alone winning the championship, even the top four failed to score, which was as bad as the last game! In addition to Zheng Yijing, the situation of several other seed players is also not ideal.
No. 7
The top seed, 17-year-old Korean Olympic main player Shin Yubin also lost to Japanese athletes. In the last match, she lost 3-4 to Asuka Sasuo, and this time she lost even worse, and lost 1-4 to the 16-year-old star Haruka Koshita, nicknamed "Little Zhang Yining". It seems that she has not recovered from injuries.
Zheng Yijing's teammate and No. 2 seed of women's singles Chen Siyu also failed to reach the semi-finals in the last game. This site failed again and lost to the famous American player Zhang An 2-4. As for the No. 4 seed and Dutch player Alland, he was not very strong at all, and this time he was won by Sasuo Asuka and did not even score in the quarterfinals.
At present, it is still difficult for Zhang An to break through the Japanese team's defense line with one against three. Although she has had a record of defeating the world champion Hirano Miu , and this time it is a home game, considering that she was beaten 4-0 by Haruka Koshita not long ago, this time it is also a bad luck - let's wait for the US-Japan table tennis battle to kick off!
