In the first round of the women's qualifying round of the German Open in 2020, South Korea's main player Shin Yubin played against Yuan Jianan of France.
Shin Yubin, the future star of South Korean women's table tennis, has participated in adult competitions many times at the age of 16. He has partnered with Zhao Dacheng to defeat Mizutani Hayabusa Ito and won the 2019 Czech Open mixed doubles championship.
Shin Yubin played for the South Korean team in the Tokyo Olympic Table Tennis Qualifying Tournament held not long ago. The South Korean team lost to the North Korean team and eventually won the championship in the eliminated team competition and won the ninth Olympic ticket.
In the first round of the German Open, Shen Yubin 0:4 Yuan Jianan, the score was 6:11, 9:11, 7:11, 7:11.
Yuan Jianan, who was a Chinese player, participated in Hyundai France, with a right-handed horizontal board, forehand forehand and backhand for reversed rubber, similar to the Swedish star Falk and Singapore star Li Jiawei.
Yuan Jianan's serve poses a greater threat to Shen Yubin, and Shen Yubin has less changes in the point of service. After the long split, Yuan Jianan attacked with a forehand sideways, and the ball sank after the ball fell. Shen Yubin had a difficult forehand block. Yuan Jianan used a backhand to tear the diagonal line. After Shen Yubin stepped back from the stage, he did not have enough backhand to protect the platform. Has been extremely disadvantaged.
Yuan Jianan can serve both forehand and backhand, with more spin changes. Shen Yubin ate the serve continuously, and his psychological fluctuations were greater.
Yuan Jianan's serve point is in Shen Yubin's backhand position, with a forehand in the middle and a forehand near the net. The three points are mixed. Shen Yubin did not have enough judgment on the rotation and only relied on the long split to solve the problem. Yuan Jianan served several times and directly attacked.
After receiving three consecutive losses, Shen Yubin tried to get the ball up first, looking for opportunities from the stalemate, but the drop point of the ball was relatively positive, Yuan Jianan made a forehand particle and directly used the arc to hit the circle. Shen Yubin directly fell into a passive situation.
After Shen Yubin held a backhand, facing Yuan Jianan's forehand pellets, the forehand and backhand were more difficult to connect, and he hit the net more.
South Korea's future star, although the doubles performance is excellent, the singles strength still needs to be strengthened.
Faced with the granular style of play, Shen Yubin's style of play is relatively simple. In pursuit of speed, he blindly plays hard, lacks the rhythm of pulling, lacks the use of rotation and the use of arcs.
Korean style of play, relatively good footwork, relatively good forehand, too much pursuit of power and speed, in terms of rhythm rotation, it is still thinner than Chinese table tennis. Shen Yubin is still young and inevitably simpler in experience. Facing difficulties and lack of changes in his style of play, he will inevitably lose.
Lee Eun-hye, another major player in South Korea, was in the national table tennis player Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui made a bold two-sided attack to win. On the first day of the German Open, the two main players of the Korean women's team were eliminated.
South Korean women's team, in the absence of Tian Zhixi, Shin Yubin shoulders the important task of scoring points, and from the game, Shin Yubin still has a long way to go from the world's top players. Compared with the Japanese women's team, Shen Yubin's strength is not dominant.
The road ahead is not smooth for Shen Yubin. In terms of technical experience, he still needs a certain amount of precipitation to truly reach the realm of a first-class master.
