2022 ITTF World Cup Finals entered the men's and women's singles semi-finals competition on the 29th. In the previous match day, the Chinese table tennis team performed strongly. Except for Fan Zhendong slammed to Ocharov, other players performed basically normally. Women's singles Sun Yingsha Chen Meng Wang Manyu Wang Yidi Wang Yidi Wang Yidi Wang Yidi twelfth in the world, the top four players in the world meet in the semi-finals. The Chinese table tennis team locked in the women's singles championship in advance. In the semi-finals, Sun Yingsha faced Wang Yidi, Chen Meng played against Wang Manyu, and the two sides were evenly matched in the two games, and the outcome of the game was unpredictable. The top four men's singles are Zhang Benzhihe , Ocharov, Wang Chuqin and Malone . In the men's singles semi-finals, Malone and Wang Chuqin started a "civil war", while the two strong rivals of the national table tennis team, Japan and Germany are all "only seedlings", and Zhang Benzhihe and Ocharov compete for another final place.
Women's singles semi-finals is a civil war between national table tennis players. Sun Yingsha, the top seed of the tournament, faced Wang Yidi, the No. 4 seed of the tournament. This game was particularly eye-catching. Both of them were in good shape recently, especially Sun Yingsha. She has won seven consecutive victories in the past two weeks, and her opponent Wang Yidi is in good condition. She lost to , Chen Xingtong, , and won two consecutive games after coming to the World Cup finals. It should be said that both of them are in excellent condition. Sun Yingsha and Wang Yidi met twice in the Budapest Challenge in July, but Wang Yidi ended up laughing, which also caused the outside world to question Sun Yingsha's world number one ranking. This game will be more pressure on Sun Yingsha. After all, she has not won the top four players in the national table tennis women's singles for a long time. Objectively speaking, the two's comprehensive strength is almost the same. Sun Yingsha, who is gradually getting on the right track, has an advantage but is not sure of winning. The outcome of the game depends on her performance on the spot.
Another semi-final for the women's singles was between Wang Manyu and Chen Meng. Both of them have gradually returned to their courage recently. Last week's Macau Championship was both out of luck and missed to create good results. Both of them were eager to achieve good results in the World Cup finals this week. Judging from the current situation, Wang Manyu and Chen Meng's condition and overall strength are comparable. The outcome of the game depends on on-the-spot performance. Previously, Wang Manyu had won five consecutive victories against Chen Meng, but in this year's Singapore Grand Slam, Chen Meng ended his consecutive defeat against Wang Manyu, which is of great significance to Chen Meng, at least he is no longer afraid of his opponent psychologically. In the past week, Wang Manyu's performance is not as strong as before. Facing Chen Meng, Wang Manyu has no advantage. Of course, it is not easy for Chen Meng to defeat Wang Manyu. The victory or defeat of the game depends on his performance on the spot. It is normal for whoever wins and loses.
Men's singles semi-finals Zhang Benzhihe faced Ocharov. Zhang Benzhihe, who was eliminated in the first round of the last round, was in full swing this week. He defeated his opponents two consecutive games to advance to the semi-finals. Interestingly, Zhang Benzhihe won the opponents in the first two rounds of the game, both German players, one is Francesca and the other is world champion Boer. Ocharov defeated the world champion Zhuang Zhiyuan and Olympic champion Fan Zhendong in the first two rounds respectively. He is currently in a strong morale. In the match with Zhang Benzhihe, Ocharov is eager to "revenge" the national team teammates. The two had a win or defeat in the previous fight. Zhang Benzhihe has now entered the best state. Although Ocharov defeated Fan Zhendong, objectively speaking, the reason for winning is that Fan Zhendong performed poorly, not that he was in full swing. Judging from the current situation, if Zhang Benzhihe has a certain advantage in this semi-final, if he can play his due level, Zhang Benzhihe will have a higher probability of winning.
Another semi-final for men's singles was played between national table tennis players Ma Long and Wang Chuqin. This was the second time the two met in a week. Last week, Wang Chuqin narrowly defeated Ma Long 3:2 to advance to the semi-finals.Judging from the current situation, Wang Chuqin is in full form. He defeated five top ten players in the world in the last Macau Championship to win the championship. In the first two rounds of this World Cup finals, Wang Chuqin defeated the world's tenth-ranked Qiu Dang and the world's third-ranked Moregard. At present, it is unstoppable. If he can continue to be in such an outstanding state, Wang Chuqin can defeat any player in the world, including the Grand Slam champion Ma Long. It is an indisputable fact that Ma Long's overall strength declines, but Ma Long can always win in adversity. This is his strength. In fact, it can be seen from the previous games that Ma Long's winning is not smooth sailing. This also shows that Ma Long has a very strong ability to control the game. Ma Long also has a chance to win against Wang Chuqin. The result of the game still depends on his performance.
