In the early morning of May 27, Beijing time, the four finalists of men's and women's singles at the Durban World Table Tennis Championships were all released! The top ten main players of national table tennis participated in the battle, and the three were unfortunately out in the 1/4 final, of which Wang Manyu lost 0-4 to teammate Chen Xingtong, Lin Gaoyuan lost to Ma Long 1-4, only Wang Yidi collapsed in the outside battle, and was eliminated by Japan's Hina Hayata 3-4 after 7 hard fights, and did not have the opportunity to win a medal.
Hina Hayata will then represent the Japanese team and the entire foreign association to single out the national table tennis team, and her first opponent is Sun Yingsha. As for the other three singles semifinals, they are all our team battles: Chen Meng VS Chen Xingtong, Fan Zhendong VS Liang Jingkun, Ma Long VS Wang Chuqin - the peak showdown is about to be staged, and it is unknown who will die the deer! See below for details.
In the women's singles, the biggest upset is the collapse of Wang Yidi - in the confrontation with Japan's Hina Hayada, although she took the lead, but then fell into the point of passive beating, finally survived to the tiebreaker, and was turned over with 10 match points, and finally eliminated 19-21, 3-4 in the big score, which is indeed a pity.
Relatively speaking, Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong's civil war is relatively calm, although he only won the WTT Macau championship not long ago, Wang Manyu's recent injury situation is very serious, as a result, this match with Chen Xingtong ended in a 0-4 defeat, and soon after lost 0-3 with Sun Yingsha to South Korea's Tian Zhixi/Shin Yubin in the women's doubles event, what a miserable loss!
The other two women's singles quarterfinals of Guoping were uneventful, Chen Meng won very easily against Mimato Ito, easily took it 4-0, and the opponent almost completely lost the will to resist when he hit the back; Sun Yingsha's battle with German veteran Han Ying was also swept 4-0, but unfortunately the women's doubles collapsed and failed to remain undefeated in foreign battles.
The only national table tennis main player out of the men's singles is Lin Gaoyuan, who met his senior brother Ma Long, who he had never defeated when he was eight into four, and lost 1-4 this time, but the small score was very close (10-12, 11-13, 16-14, 11-13, 7-11): Since 2017, Lin Gaoyuan has lost to teammates and lost medals in four consecutive World Table Tennis Championships, but it's a pity!
The national table tennis men's singles won the other three foreign battles in the quarterfinals, of which Liang Jingkun and Zhang Benzhihe fought the most thrilling, although Liang Jingkun won 4-2 and was not dragged to the tiebreaker by the other side, but the small score was 13-11, 11-9, 12-14, 14-16, 11-9, 11-9, and only won 2 points in each game, too dangerous!
As for Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin's promotion is relatively easy, the former swept Egypt's dark horse Omar 4-0, the latter eliminated Denmark's black horse Linde 4-1 - the main opponent of the national table tennis men's singles of this World Table Tennis Championships various upset losses, and finally Zhang Benzhihe of the three people who advanced to the quarterfinals of the foreign association is a strong rival, and winning him can basically guarantee to win the final four.
The next arrangement of the women's singles semifinals is Chen Meng VS Chen Xingtong, Sun Yingsha VS Hina Hayada, these two games are very interesting: although Chen Meng is an Olympic double champion, he has always been relatively inferior to Chen Xingtong, and I don't know if he can pass the civil war this time; Singled out the Chinese team Hina Hayata will decide the survival of foreign associations in the singles event, and it is also a huge challenge for Guoping.
Men's singles, Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun will stage a "sharp fat showdown" in the semifinals, the two have won each other before, and they also won once each in the World Table Tennis Championships, and I don't know who can have the last laugh this year; As for the duel between Ma Long and Wang Chuqin, the young man has recently gained the upper hand, and Ma Long lost to his junior brother not long ago, and the situation is not optimistic.
Which of the above eight is optimistic that it will advance to the final? Welcome to leave a message to write your own prediction!
