After 00, the teenager swept away the biggest trouble in women’s singles.

  The 55th World Table Tennis Championship is in full swing in Budapest, Hungary. This session, known as the preview of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, has just entered the second day of the race, and two results have been decided. First, China’s Xu Xin lost, Guoping missed the men’s singles title, and then the Japanese team’s top figure, Ito Meicheng, couldn’t take away the women’s singles champion she was obsessed with.

  Let’s start with Miki Ito. In the last year or two, Miki Ito has been in the limelight. In 2018, he scored 12 wins and 8 losses against the national table tennis players, including the reversal victory over world champion Liu Shiwen and Grand Slam player Ding Ning, which caused a lot of trouble for China. On the opponent’s wall of the China team’s training hall, Miki Ito ranked first. In an interview, Meicheng Ito said many times that she wanted to win three gold medals (women’s singles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles) in this World Table Tennis Championships.

  Before the World Table Tennis Championships, Miki Ito withdrew from the Asian Cup and the multi-station open one after another, which meant "holding back big moves" to avoid playing against China and giving China a chance to study and ponder. It was not until the World Table Tennis Championships started that Miki Ito showed his true colors.

  On April 24th, in the knockout round of women’s singles, Ito Meicheng, as the seed player, met the young girl from China after 00 who advanced all the way from the qualifying round. Although Sun Yingsha was younger and ranked lower in the world, Sun Yingsha still started to fight, and she beat Ito Meicheng 4-1, which swept away the biggest opponent on the road to winning the women’s singles for China in advance, and even scored a disparity score of 11-2 in the last game. Coach Li Sun, who coached outside the stadium, had a red eye. Only he knew how much suffering he had experienced before this game. He witnessed too many China players being beaten by Ito Meicheng.

  The ball that should have been hit failed to hit, and the frustrated Ito Meicheng could only squat on the ground and pat the ground. Miyoshi Ito’s road to women’s singles has ended before it started, stopping in the top 16, four victories short of her dream champion, and in the mixed doubles competition that followed, Miyoshi Ito also lost the game and punched herself in the face.

  Sun Yingsha’s victory over Ito Meicheng was widely discussed after the game and became a hot search, which is actually rare. "I’d rather win a hot search for ten minutes than lose two hours." This is what Xu Xin said in an interview before. After the game last night, Xu Xin also went on a hot search because … … He lost … …

  The drawing rules of the World Table Tennis Championships are divided into two and a half zones. The players in the half zone are caught and killed, and the winners in the two and a half zones will meet in the final. Although five players from China participated in this World Table Tennis Championships, four players were in the upper half, and Xu Xin, who was alone, was in the lower half.

  Such a lottery has advantages and disadvantages for Xu Xin. The advantage is that Xu Xin won’t meet China’s teammates before the final. The disadvantage is that if Guoping wants to lock the champion and runner-up in advance, Xu Xin can’t lose a game.

  Xu Xin, who was under great pressure, also met French Simon at the age of 32-16. Simon was not a fish-hole, and ranked among the top ten in the world. Although he had never won a game against Guoping before, he played very well in the match with Xu Xin, and Xu Xin was very passive. After resisting for two games, Xu Xin lost 2-4.

  In the post-match interview, Xu Xin also admitted that he lost because of psychological problems and played too cautiously.

  Xu Xin’s loss this time is also another loss to foreign players after losing to Japanese star Jun Mizutani in the team final of the 2016 Olympic Games. Losing in such a big competition may have a certain shadow on Xu Xin’s trip to Tokyo. After all, Xu Xin has fallen behind Malone and Fan Zhendong in the men’s singles competition, and of course he still has the opportunity to join the team and partner Liu Shiwen to participate in the mixed doubles competition.

  The World Table Tennis Championships will end in a few days. I hope that China players will not do hot search again except win the championship.
