On March 19, Beijing time, the WTT Singapore Grand Slam tournament entered the final stage, and the high-profile women's doubles final was played between the Chinese duo Wang Manyu/Sun Yingsha and the Japanese combination Ito Mimachi/Hayata Heina. Compared with the two men's singles semi-finals before the start of the women's doubles final, this women's doubles final can be described as unremarkable because of the one-sided situation, and even the commentary can't help but spit that "the unsound degree of the women's doubles final is unexpected."
Wang Manyu and Sun Yingsha, who were still facing each other in the women's singles semifinals the day before, reunited after a day, and the 24-hour battle of seven innings did not affect the tacit understanding of the two people or affect the pre-match preparation for the women's doubles final. In this campaign, Eel and Sasha entered the form earlier than both Ito and Hayata, and at one point in the first set they had a huge lead of 8-1. Who would have thought that in the first round, the seafood combination "Violent Sand" and "Eel" joined forces to win the opponent 11-4 and became a microcosm of the whole game.
Even if Ito and Hayata chose to use the fight to resist the opening stage after the start of the second set, it was difficult to reach the seafood combination with superior technical and tactical level and mentality. With the seafood duo going down 11-6, Ito and Hina Hayata seemed to have accepted in their minds the reality of imminent defeat, and the third set soon came to 11-4. The ease with which Sasha and Eel lightly beat Ito and Hayata is also rare in the history of WTT Grand Slam tournaments, in stark contrast to yesterday's peak showdown between Eel and Salsa, which took 89 minutes to win or lose.
As Sun Yingsha said in an interview before the game, "Although we don't have many fights, we are also old opponents, and their cooperation and style are very distinctive", as the Japanese women's team sacrificed an entire generation of ace duo, Ito Mimachi and Hayata Hina have been partners for a long time, and Sasha and Eel have also been unknowingly partnered for three years. The seafood duo's first world table tennis tournament was against Ito and Hayata.
At the Budapest World Table Tennis Championships three years ago, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, who had just formed a team, had a very difficult performance when facing the left-right hand combination of Ito Mimachi and Hayata Hina, after all, the opponents had been partners for a long time, and the left-right hand combination was more reasonable and the tactical arrangement was more abundant. But the seafood combination withstood the pressure and completed the desperate reversal in the unfavorable situation of 0-2 backwardness, and also opened their own era.
Counting the finals of the two World Table Tennis Championships in Budapest and Houston, this is the third meeting between the seafood combination and Ito and Hayata in the competition, the process will not be repeated, from the result, with the increasing degree of tacit understanding, today's eel and Salsa have been very calm when they face their old opponents. In contrast, the Japanese pair's stagnation, compared to Hayata's approval from Sasha, who believes that she has "made great progress in the past three months", ito's state is very worrying. Regarded as a fierce rival of national table tennis, she was even eliminated early by the French Chinese veteran Yuan Jiannan and stopped the women's singles round of 16.
From Ito's eyes, we can no longer find the kind of self-confidence that her mother has instilled in her for many years that "only you can defeat the Chinese team", after the brittle defeat to the seafood combination, Ito did not have the chagrin and self-blame of the past, but gladly accepted the defeat with Hayata, and the post-match award ceremony was full of spring breeze, and it seemed that he was also subdued. With the early win of the five individual championships of this tournament, the national table tennis team once again ushered in a new peak period, and the Japanese table tennis team, as a fierce rival, was once again thrown off several positions.
In the post-match interview session, Wang Manyu was asked how he felt about the event after routinely answering the way to win this battle, and the eel smiled slightly and said calmly: "I enjoy it and am very happy." "After that, I didn't say anything. This tranquility has only appeared in ma long, who has completed two grand slams, Zhang Yining, known as the Great Demon King, and other predecessors, and Wang Manyu, who is attacking his own grand slam, has slowly acquired such a temperament. In the women's singles final against the current sister Chen Meng, can the eel reproduce the success of the National Games final and take a solid step to open up its own era? Let's wait and see.
