Today, March 31st, the WTT Star Challenge in Doha enters the final day of competition. Although it is a pity that we can't see the Chinese team, Zhang Ruizhou Qihao and Xue Fei did not advance to the final four, but there are still athletes worth paying attention to, such as the first women's singles semifinals Han Ying and Kato Miyu. Because Han Ying is a Player of Chinese Descent, playing for Germany, cutting the ball well, the 2020 World Cup Women's Singles Semifinals caused Chen Meng a lot of trouble. Miyu Kato has also grown rapidly in recent years, participating in the 2019 World Championships and winning Chen Meng in the T2 Diamond League, so this game is also quite interesting.
As a result, Han Ying defeated Miyu Kato 10-12, 9-11, 11-4, 11-2, 11-5, 11-4 to advance to the final as follows:
In the first set, Han Ying started 5-2, but the middle game was equalized by Miyu Kato, and the two sides have been tightly biting the score since then, and Miyu Kato won the first set 12-10. In the second set, Miyu Kato took a 3-1 lead, but then Han Ying tied and reversed the score to take a 4-3 lead. In the middle of the game, Miyu Kato equalized and overtook the score 7-5, since then she has maintained a two- or three-point advantage, and in the last set, Miyu Kato got the set point 10-7, but Han Ying made a breakthrough from the backhand, chasing two points in a row to 9-10, but it was a pity that she lost the second set 9-11.
In the third set, Han Ying stepped up the spin this time to start 8-1 and win the first 11-4. In the fourth set, Miyu Kato still couldn't adapt to Han Ying's tactical play and was won by Han Ying 11-2. In the fifth set, Han Ying took advantage of the victory to chase 11-5 and win another set. In this way, Han Ying led 3-2 by a large margin. In the sixth set, Han Ying became more and more courageous, leading 3-0 at the beginning, Ando Miyu Kato could not ask for a timeout, but when the timeout came back, Han Ying still grasped the rhythm of the field and finally won the last set 11-4. The big score was 4-2 to complete the reversal.
Sure enough, it is the European top 16 champion, just like the little Margo live broadcast room said, Han Yingjie's ball skills have been newly improved, this time she defeated Zhang Benmei and Kato Miyu two new stars of strength, a veritable anti-Japanese hero, congratulations to Han Yingjie!
In the evening women's singles final, at 20:40, Han Yingjie will face Miyu Kihara, hoping that Han Yingjie will kill three Japanese female players in a row and resist the Japanese to the end! Come on!
