In the recently concluded table tennis Fukuoka Finals women’s singles 1/8 finals, the Chinese table tennis team world number one Olympic champion Sun Yingsha lost 5 games, in the case of 1-0 lead was overturned, and ultimately 2-3 against teammate Chen Xingtong to stop in the first round – before this, Sun Yingsha Chen Xingtong’s advantage is relatively large, regardless of the results, ranking is more dominant. The first time I saw her, she had a lot of fun, but she had a lot of fun, and she had a lot of fun.
First of all, Sun Yingsha did not play out her forehand advantage, too much reliance on the backhand, failed to bring too much pressure on her teammates.
Sun Yingsha has been known for her strong forehand since her debut, although she is not particularly tall, but her explosive power is very good, especially the speed of the near platform is quite fast, which is also an important reason why she can dominate the field many times.
However, in this match against Chen Xingtong, although Sun Yingsha did use her forehand to break the defence, she mostly relied too much on her backhand, which may be due to injury or other reasons, but the result was obvious: she did not have much advantage in purely competing with her backhand.
With the threat of her forehand dropping, Sun Yingsha did not put as much pressure on Chen Xingtong as she used to, and objectively speaking, her backhand error rate was a bit high this time, so she didn’t take much advantage of the confrontation, and even though she took a small lead several times, she couldn’t close the gap quickly, and was eventually reversed by Chen Xingtong.
Secondly, in terms of tactical execution, Sun Yingsha was not firm enough, giving Chen Xingtong room to counterattack.

In this match, Sun’s tactical execution on the court was rather chaotic, relying on her backhand after her forehand was out of play, and consciously switching to her forehand after her backhand failed to gain an advantage, but then returning to the backhand routine shortly after scoring a point.
Usually, the biggest fear of forehand players is that their forehands will be too wide and broken by the opponent’s change of line – Chen Xingtong did hit a few of these balls, but the frequency was not very high, and it was still within the acceptable range, but Sun Yingsha still had a conservative mindset, which showed that she did not implement the tactics of the forehand attack.
In addition, the handling of the ball, Sun Yingsha also appeared to be some of the rules, screwing pull on the hands of not much, split the long plus turn effect is good, but the attack of the backhand is also relatively weak, and did not form a coherent attack, the pendulum short control also did not have a bright performance, strong confrontation also gives a feeling of a lack of power, and at the same time gave Chen Xingtong too much space for counterattacks.
Finally, Sun Yingsha’s hand and mind will be affected by her injury, and her loss to the Japanese chipper the day before was a heavy blow.
Concerned about Sun Yingsha’s friends know that in October she has been in the Asian Championships on the injury, then did not finish the game withdrew from the single competition, and then has been hanging high, abandoned a number of domestic and international tournaments, and now although in the finals of the comeback, but before the training must have been affected by the psychological fluctuations of their own.
Especially this tournament is still held in Japan, and Sun Yingsha before in the Asian Championships lost to Japan’s Miwa Zhangmoto, which will easily lead to excessive pressure, coupled with the women’s doubles first match with Wang Yidi lost to the Japanese combination of Hitomi Sato / Hashimoto Hanaichika, forehand more errors, which may also affect her next day with Chen Xingtong face-off forehand use.
So what do you think is the reason for Sun Yingsha’s consecutive losses this time? Feel free to leave a comment and write your own opinion!
