The WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam women's singles quarterfinals ushered in the last match, with Sun Yingsha facing Qian Tianyi. This is a national table tennis civil war.
Both of them are the main force of national table tennis, and they are both very strong. The two are close in age, both were born in 2000. It's just that Qian Tianyi was born in January, and Sun Yingsha was born in November.
The two have played each other 9 times in the international arena, Sun Yingsha has won 5 times, and Qian Tianyi has won 4 times, which is not much different.
In this event, both of them are also in very good form. In the first three games, Sun Yingsha swept her opponent 3-0, including Tian Zhixi 3-0. Qian Tianyi defeated Ni Xialian, Polkanova, and Chen Xingtong respectively.
It stands to reason that the two are not much different and can play a good game. I didn't expect it to turn out to be so. Sun Yingsha swept Qian Tianyi 4-0 and played a rare score of 11:0 and 11:3.
WTT Singapore Grand Slam in 2023. Sun Yingsha and Qian Tianyi met in the women's singles final. At that time, Sun Yingsha defeated Qian Tianyi 4-1 and won the women's singles championship. Although Qian Tianyi was the runner-up, he gained 1400 points and entered the top 10 in the world ranking.
Qian Tianyi naturally wanted to defeat Sun Yingsha in this event and go further. Unexpectedly, Sun Yingsha's desire to win was stronger.
In the first game, Sun Yingsha was like a god and beat Qian Tianyi 11:0. Qian Tianyi didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't pick it up no matter how he played. Sun Yingsha basically scored on the first three boards. Qian Tianyi doesn't seem to know how to play anymore.
was shaved in the first game, Qian Tianyi's mood was naturally damaged, and he didn't slow down for a while.
In the second game, Sun Yingsha continued to feel good and made a 7:0 start. Counting the 11 points in the first game, Sun Yingsha scored 18 points in a row.
Qian Tianyi himself couldn't find any reason. Later, Qian Tianyi finally found a little feel and bit the score. However, Sun Yingsha still won the second game 11:6.
Unexpectedly, Qian Tianyi suddenly felt out of order again.
In the third game, Sun Yingsha made another 8:0 start. Qian Tianyi is like sleepwalking. In fact, Qian Tianyi is also working hard, but it is difficult for her to score no matter how she fights. Sun Yingsha was a little relaxed, and Qian Tianyi chased 3 points in a row. Sun Yingsha began to exert her strength again, and also scored 3 points in a row to win the third game 11:3.
In the fourth game, Sun Yingsha made a 3:0 start, and then led Qian Tianyi 5:1. Although Qian Tian's hand felt better and chased a lot of points, Sun Yingsha still won the fourth game 11:6.
In the end, Sun Yingsha swept Qian Tianyi 4-0 and advanced to the women's singles semifinals.
The result of this contest was so unexpected.
The strange thing is not that Sun Yingsha won Qian Tianyi 4-0, but that Sun Yingsha blasted 11:0 and 11:3. The two masters fought each other, but it was one-sided. Qian Tianyi did not give up the game, and he was working hard, but it was difficult to score. I don't know if Sun Yingsha played too well, or Qian Tianyi played too badly.
In the semifinals, Sun Yingsha played against Wang Yidi, which was another national table tennis civil war. I don't think it's going to be one-sided this time.
