Wang Yidi was born in 1997 and Ito Mima was born in 2000, both of them are the main athletes of their respective teams, and their careers are quite similar – Wang Yidi’s key battle in the rise of the Chinese table tennis team was the 2019 Hong Kong China Open, which she swept to win, and later beat Ito Mima in the 2022 Asia Cup. The ascent to the top has made her position in the team even more prominent.
In the past 11 meetings with Ito Mima, Wang Yidi has 9 wins and 2 losses, and has not lost to her opponent for five years, so even though Ito Mima’s form has picked up recently, and she has had some highlight moments of defeating Qian Tianyi, she only lost to Wang Yidi at the WTT Singapore Grand Slam last month, so the general consensus is that she will still struggle to break through the Chinese team’s defences this time around.
