On January 11th, Beijing time, the WTT Star Challenge Doha Station is in full swing. The open event is nearing its end, and the performance of the national table tennis players has been a mixed bag. The men's singles team suffered a complete wipeout, with no one advancing to the top eight list, which is somewhat regrettable. The women's doubles team lost in the final to Japanese opponents, missing out on the championship. As a result, the men's singles and women's doubles teams have lost two titles. In the women's singles quarterfinals, national table tennis player Chen Yi faced her teammate Qian Tianyi. It was expected to be a closely matched game, but surprisingly, young Chen Yi completely dominated Qian Tianyi, not giving her much opportunity. Chen Yi won three consecutive sets with scores of 11:9, 11:9, and 12:10, securing a decisive victory with a total score of 3:0 and successfully advancing to the top four in the women's singles. In another women's singles quarterfinal, Japanese player Miharu Kuwabara faced South Korean player Shin Yubin. In this open event, Japanese mainstays such as Tomokazu Harimoto, Miyuu Kihara, and Hina Hayata were eliminated one after another, but instead, Miharu Kuwabara and Misuzu Nagasaki performed admirably. In the match, Miharu Kuwabara took advantage of her unique playing style and completely suppressed Shin Yubin, winning three sets in a row with a total score of 3:0 to advance to the top four. Next, the women's singles semifinals continued, with national table tennis player Chen Yi facing Japanese player Miharu Kuwabara. Both are World…

On January 15, 2025, according to Beijing time, the first day of the WTT regular challenge match in Masqat has come to an end. In this event, two players from the national table tennis team were unfortunately eliminated in the first round of singles. Among them, Xu Yingbin lost 0-3 to the powerful Ochaglov on the court; while Wang Xiaotong also lost 1-3 to Tan Yuxuan in that derby battle. In addition, there is a surprising situation. The world champion from Japan, Yoshimura Makihara, actually encountered the embarrassing situation of being eliminated in the first round in this competition. Moreover, Miharu Kihara, who won the women's singles runner-up at the Doha station before, was also unable to go further on the court and was successfully eliminated by the national table tennis player. In the first round of the men's singles main event, Xu Yingbin's performance was really a pity. During the game, he once took the lead with a score of 8-5 in the second set, but the situation turned sharply, and he was successfully reversed by his opponent. Not only that, when he took the lead again with a score of 8-4 in the third set, he still failed to maintain the advantage and was overturned by the opponent again. Finally, Xu Yingbin lost 0-3 to Ochaglov and missed the men's singles top 16. It must be said that compared with those top players in the world, Xu Yingbin does have deficiencies in terms of game experience, and his performance on the court lacks sufficient stability. However, other national…

The WTT Doha Star Challenge is nearing its conclusion, with the Singapore Grand Slam event set to begin soon. As a result, the main participants in this Doha challenge are non-mainstream players from the national table tennis team.

In this round of five events, our national table tennis players successfully won the men's doubles championship title, with Xiang Peng and Xu Yingbin performing outstandingly, defeating Tomokazu Ishihara and Kakeru Matsumoto.

Today will determine the champions of the women's singles, men's singles, and mixed doubles events. [Chen Yi vs. Miyuu Kihara] In the semi-finals, Chen Yi surprisingly defeated Qian Tianyi with a score of 3:0, a result that shocked many fans. It should be noted that when national table tennis players compete, they cannot simply rely on world rankings to judge victory or defeat; the key is to observe the actual strength displayed on the court. After all, they train together every day and are very familiar with each other. Taking Qian Tianyi as an example, her teammates know her inside out. Moreover, Chen Yi stands at 177cm tall, giving her an excellent wingspan that is not inferior even to Wang Manyu, resulting in remarkable defensive capabilities. During the match, Miyuu Kihara primarily relied on her rubber hitting and connection…

The Doha Star Challenge continues to unfold with upsets, as the top three seeded players have all been eliminated. The Chinese national table tennis second team has dealt a crushing blow to the Japanese mainstays. The women's singles quarter-finals have been completed in the Doha Star Challenge. All eight spots were taken by players from China, Japan, and South Korea, which aligns with the current power structure in women's world table tennis, where these three countries are particularly prominent. Despite only sending their second team, China has shown significant strength, with all five participants advancing to the quarter-finals, despite facing the main players from Japan and South Korea. In contrast, Japan, which sent many of its main players, including almost its entire main lineup, suffered heavy losses, with only two out of seven players making it to the quarter-finals, while another spot was claimed by South Korea's Shin Yu-bin. Japan sent its full main lineup to compete in this event. In the competition, the top three seeded players were all Japanese, namely the number one seed Hina Hayata, the number two seed Miyuu Kihara, and the number three seed Satsuki Todo. However, only Hina Hayata made it to the round of 16, while Miyuu Kihara and Satsuki Todo suffered defeats in the first round, with most of Japan's main players being eliminated by Chinese players. In addition to the three seeded players mentioned earlier, Japan's main player Miu Hirano was quickly defeated 0:3 by Shih Xunyao yesterday. Today, Hina Hayata lost 2:3 to China's young player Chen Yi. Yesterday, Kuai…

After five rounds of fierce competition, Zhang Benmeihe was surprisingly defeated by her opponent with a score of 2-3, ending her run in the second round of the tournament. Zhang Benmeihe is only 17 years old. Despite her young age, she possesses remarkable skills. According to the latest world rankings, Zhang Benmeihe has reached sixth place. Orawan Palanang, now 25 years old, currently ranks 47th in the world. Her achievements are not particularly outstanding. Prior to the match, the media generally favored Zhang Benmeihe to win the game. However, the outcome was unexpected. In the first game, both players quickly entered the state. They engaged in intense exchanges. However, Zhang Benmeihe seized the opportunity and took control in the latter half of the match. With a score of 11-7, Zhang Benmeihe took the lead.

On January 11, 2025, the Doha Star Table Tennis Tournament will conclude with its final day of competition. The Chinese national team has already secured the men's doubles championship and continues to compete for titles in women's singles and mixed doubles, facing off against Japanese opponents, including a decisive mixed doubles match against Koki Niwa/Mima Ito. Following the conclusion of the previous main event day, the top four singles players were determined. In women's singles, China still has two contenders: Kuai Man and Chen Yi. However, Zhou Qihao withdrew from the tournament due to injury, and other players such as Huang Youzheng, Xiang Peng, Xu Yingbin, Chen Yuanyu, Qian Tianyi, Zong Geman, He Zhuojia, and Shi Xunyao have been eliminated. Among them, the men's singles team has been completely defeated, with their best result being the round of 16.

Despite the absence of key players, the Chinese team has performed commendably against many…

On January 10, 2025, the Doha Star Table Tennis Tournament continued, and good news came from the women's singles event for the national table tennis team. The 20-year-old young player Chen Yi caused an upset by eliminating Japanese star Hina Hayata with a score of 3-2. It is not easy to defeat the top seed in the women's singles event, and Chen Yi's advancement to the quarter-finals is something to celebrate. Chen Yi, a young player on the national table tennis team, is only 20 years old and ranked 39th in the world. She and Kuai Man are teammates from the same batch, and she has performed outstandingly during her youth, winning many championships. However, she was unable to make it to a higher stage later on, making it difficult for her to participate in events with higher points, which is somewhat regrettable. But being young means there is great potential for growth, and opportunities are there for the taking. External competitions are undoubtedly the best test. It is worth mentioning that Chen Yi registered for three events, partnering with Kuai Man in women's doubles and Chen Yuanyu in mixed doubles, both of which have been eliminated. She focused her attention on the singles court, facing Japanese star Hina Hayata, which was a severe challenge. In the absence of the main players of the national table tennis team, Hina Hayata naturally became the top seed. Despite the significant difference in personal achievements, Chen Yi was not intimidated and fought bravely, ultimately bringing an unexpected surprise. Hina Hayata is the highest-ranked…

After all, the top five female stars of the women's team have all advanced, defeating four major foreign association opponents, perfectly showcasing their strength. Now that all the strong opponents have been eliminated, the pressure is not as great. Compared to Wang Hao, the position of the women's team head coach Ma Lin is as stable as Mount Tai. This time, the national table tennis team has experienced two major extremes. First, the women's team has won all their matches, with a total of six people advancing to the main draw, five of whom directly qualified for the main draw, and one, Zhongge Man, who advanced through the qualifying rounds. However, except for Zhongge Man who was eliminated, the rest have all won. The quickest match to end was Kuai Man against Ye Yitian, with a 3:0 sweep. Although Kuai Man performed poorly in two doubles matches, losing in the first round in both women's doubles and mixed doubles, she proudly advanced in singles, showing her strong strength. Previously, she also eliminated Daito Satsuki, so her strength is beyond doubt. With Kuai Man's advancement, He Zhuojia on the other side also sent…
