The 2022 Japan Table Tennis League Championships (Fukushima Table Tennis Tournament) came to an end, and Hitomi Sato, who has soared in form this year in the women's singles competition, has won the championship for two consecutive years, and has ensured that Hitomi Sato, who has qualified for the Asian Games and the World Table Tennis Championships, is expected to play a strange role against China. The final winner in the men's singles was Takashi Niwa, who began in the quarterfinals with 3-1 Shota Sakane, 3-2 Katsuya Yamamoto, and 3-1 Tadako Ikeda, although the opponent was not strong, he still let Niwa Takashi fold the road to the traverse.
Tokyo Olympic cycle of Japanese men's table tennis With the rise of Zhang Benzhihe, veterans Mizutani Hayabusa and Niwa Takashi can only compete for another Olympic singles qualification, the two are close to the Tokyo Olympic Games or Niwa Takashi to suppress a move, and finally won the third place of the men's team, came to the Paris Olympic cycle, the Japanese men's team Zhang Benzhi and the world ranked No. 5 is still a brother, Yukiya Utada, Tokami Hayabusa, and Kawa Reiki and other players have surpassed Takashi Niwa in terms of results, and Takashi Niwa also lost the Asian Games lineup, However, he still participated in the world table tennis team competition in Chengdu as the five main players.
Niwa Takashi's strength has seriously declined is an indisputable fact, in the fukushima table tennis tournament competition, Zhang Benzhihe, Yukiya Umada, Hayabusa Tokami and others are absent, Niwa Takashi as the No. 1 seed directly into the 1/4 final, but the semi-finals against the nobody Yamamoto Katsu is still a bitter 5-game victory over the opponent, although Niwa Takashi broke this year's championship drought, but it seems that the gold content is insufficient, 28-year-old Niwa Takashi wants to play again in the Paris Olympics, in such a state may not work.
The women's singles champion was won by the 25-year-old Hitomi Sato, she was also the main force of the Japanese women's team in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, although she was a chipper, Hitomi Sato defeated the national table tennis Grand Slam winner Ding Ning twice at the 2019 INTERNATIONAL TABLE TENNIS Federation Open, becoming a major nemesis of Ding Ning, the World Cup team tournament also won the runner-up in 2019 as the 4th main force, Sato Hitomi's world ranking also came to the 10th place in the women's singles, and then 2 years later, Hitomi Sato's playing style was gradually known by opponents, and gradually became mediocre in the international arena. Another point is that as a way of cutting the ball, she cannot play in the women's doubles match in the Women's Team Competition of the Olympic Games, and Ito Mimachi itself is a single, not playing women's doubles, if the Japanese team plays in the women's doubles is a cripple match that attacks and cuts, it is equivalent to sending points to the opponent.
In 2022, Hitomi Sato joined hands with Hashimoto In the Japan Table Tennis League in the singles and doubles competition, Hitomi Sato reached the women's singles final 4 in the World Table Tennis Championships Selection Tournament and the Lion King Cup, unexpectedly qualified for a team to participate in the World Table Tennis Championships, and then in the Asian Games Selection Tournament, he once again beat Ishikawa Yoshijun to obtain an Asian Games place, and both competitions were able to defeat his teammates who knew himself and the other, proving that Hitomi Sato was re-emerging. In the World Table Tennis Championships and Asian Games women's team competition, the Sino-Japanese matchup final is a high probability event, Japanese table tennis Ito Mimachi and Hayata Hina are firmly in the top 2 main force, in the selection of the 3rd singles of the team, Hitomi Sato is expected to play as a strange soldier, after all, the chipper is more physically demanding, and the attacker during the competition is often deformed due to tension, so in the face of hitomi Sato, who plays more sticky, the national table tennis still has to be re-emphasized.
