Han Ying, born in 1983, is currently ranked No. 26, and she once reached the world\u2019s top 10. However, in recent years she has frequently missed international competitions due to injuries. Last year, she nearly retired after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon, which caused a significant drop in her ranking points.<\/p><p data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1520\">Previously, the two players had only faced each other once in international competition, with Han Ying claiming the victory. But that was already three years ago. In the past three years, Miwa Harimoto has improved rapidly, and now, meeting again, Han Ying faced a stern test.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfe693b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cfe693b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/q5.itc.cn\/images01\/20250928\/bb24e501bd5a4c57a5d8cbe3cbafa21f.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0ce2dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f0ce2dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72fc4e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72fc4e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Sanweisport-Professional Table Tennis Equipment Provider<\/h3><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c0f088 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5c0f088\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/best-ping-pong-paddle-for-beginners-1024x1024.jpg.webp\" \/><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7863c99 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"7863c99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\"><a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/sanweisport.com\/en\/product\/bats\/taiji-series\/taiji-210\/\"><span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\"><span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn More<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02fd525 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"02fd525\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Only 11.9 USD<\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99f72a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"99f72a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\"><div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"><ul><li>Taiji 210 bat is an allround premade high quality table tennis bat for the starters, it\u2019s the best seller and the most popular bat of the Taiji Bat series.<\/li><li>The blade is made by 7 layers of decent pure wood, coated by two sides of ITTF approved rubber makes it useable for competition, with a comfortable flared handle.<\/li><li>It saves your time for selecting from thousands of combinations and just gives you the right one with great quality\/price ratio.<\/li><li>2-Stars Table Tennis Bat is perfect for amateur gamers !<\/li><li>If you are interested in table tennis equipment, you can visit our Sanweisport homepage to select the most professional table tennis equipment.

Since it had been a long time since they last played against each other, and both players had gone through considerable changes in form, both needed time to adjust. This situation was originally more favorable for Han Ying with her defensive chopping style. However, Miwa Harimoto seized her chances to launch attacks first, and ultimately took the opening game 11\u20138.<\/p><p data-start=\"1986\" data-end=\"2256\">In the second game, Han Ying mounted a full-scale counterattack. Harimoto committed multiple errors on court, and the situation swung back in favor of the veteran. This time, the young Japanese player lost 5\u201311, allowing Han Ying to level the match at one game apiece.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1089695 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1089695\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/q6.itc.cn\/images01\/20250928\/a525058bd3d043d2bf91b3a2faa0fee9.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4bc6f84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4bc6f84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"2258\" data-end=\"2547\">In the third game, Harimoto once again increased her attacking pressure against the veteran\u2019s defenses and almost completely dictated the pace of the rally. In the end, she conceded only 3 points to Han Ying, taking the game with ease, and moved ahead 2\u20131 overall, with victory in sight.<\/p><p data-start=\"2549\" data-end=\"3059\">The fourth game remained fiercely competitive. Han Ying built an early lead but was caught at 5\u20135. After calling a timeout, she surged ahead once again, but Harimoto showed tenacity, fighting back to tie the score 9\u20139. At the crucial moment, a lucky net ball disrupted Han Ying\u2019s rhythm, allowing Harimoto to move ahead 10\u20139 to hold match point. She did not give her opponent another chance, sealing the win 11\u20139. With this, Miwa Harimoto defeated Han Ying and advanced to the Round of 32 in women\u2019s singles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On September 28 Beijing time, the WTT China Grand Slam continued.
