Manyu's opponent was Japan Table Tennis Women's Singles ace Ito Mi Honest , it’s been a long time since I saw you. In the last round, Ito fought hard in five games, and Manyu’s path to promotion in singles was very easy. However, Manyu has competition tasks in mixed doubles and women’s doubles, so there is still a certain amount of consumption, and there are some problems in the legs. Injuries, but there is no doubt about Manyu's strength.
Ito is still used to attacking with his backhand at the beginning. Like Shasha, Manyu is also looking for rhythm in the opening and is a little self-conscious. From the 3rd level, Manyu's forehand gradually shows its advantage. Ito is in good condition when he comes up. After a few shots, he gets into the forehand position. He withstood the incoming balls without making any mistakes, but he was anxious to bounce the ball to score points, and the backhand was also out of bounds. Manyu won 7 to 5 in the game. This game was also very interesting for Ito. As a result, he scored a lot of points with his backhand. Ito missed two consecutive returns, and Wang Manyu took the lead at 11-7.
In the third game, Manyu still couldn't control Ito's backhand, and he was also losing his serve. Ito's forehand and backhand were connected very quickly, and Manyu's condition was a bit problematic.

In the decisive game, Manyu hesitated and went to the net, then tore it back and lost it. Ito's forehand hit went out of bounds. In this game, Manyu lost too many points with his backhand. Ito beat him to 5-2 and then called timeout. I have to say Ito was really lucky, and he kept wiping the net without losing any points. However, Manyu held on to the forehand to score points, and was obviously more daring to turn sideways than before. Manyu took the long ball with his backhand, and tied the game at 5. Ito also called for a timeout, and sure enough, Ito served again and scored points again, but his forehand became more stable and he also suffered from Manyu's serve.
