In 2020, ITTF Qatar Open will continue. On the women's singles side, before Guo Ping's 8 players 16 broke in, it accounted for half of the country's total, and 4 people were promoted on the first day. Among them, Japanese sister Ito Mikei is expected to advance directly to the semi-finals and compete with Sun Yingsha.
Mikei Ito played in this competition as the third seed of the tournament. After the seed signing table was released, the table tennis player in her district was He Zhuojia who was added to the seed list. After the qualifying round, Guo Ping's Gu Yuting challenged Ito Mikei in the first round. They have played against each other six times before, and Gu Yuting leads with 4 wins and 2 losses. In the first round of last year's Japan Open, Gu Yuting defeated Mikei Ito 4-2.
When they met again in the first round, Gu Yuting won the first game with 1 1-9, and then Miki It? changed his tactics to 1 1-5, 1 1-7,12-.
As the biggest rival of women's table tennis players, the match between Gu Yuting and Ito Meicheng has also attracted much attention. Liu, president of China Table Tennis Association, and Li Sun, head coach of China Table Tennis Women's Team, were sitting in the audience to pay attention to the game. I don't know how Liu and Li Sun will guide the players when they go back after witnessing Miki It?'s breakthrough in table tennis.
Gold coach Sean came to give Gu Yuting off-court guidance. When he saw that Gu Yuting couldn't find a way to fight back against Ito Mikei, he was also worried, and the expression on his face was very stealing.
He Zhuojia, who was used together with Miki It? in Zone 3/4, took 8- 1 1, 7- 1 1, 9-1,5-. The two 1/8 finals were the civil war between Miki It? and teammate Sato, and against Singaporean veteran Feng Tianwei alone, Miki It? is expected to advance directly to the semi-finals.
If Ito Mei Cheng Shunli enters the semi-finals, Sun Yingsha in the lower half may be waiting for her. However, if Sun Yingsha wants to compete with Ito Mie, she must pass teammate Chen Xingtong first, and then beat the winner between Ding Ning and Nomi.
