Miwa Zhangmoto's women's singles world ranking is currently the highest No. 6 in the Japanese team and the highest ranking of foreign association players outside of China. In addition to singles, this year's World Table Tennis Championships Miwa Zhang will also compete with Miyu Kihara in women's doubles, and with Teruku Matsushima in the mixed doubles field. In response, she said, "There is no need to feel pressure. No matter what kind of table is drawn, the strong can win the gold medal", showing the consciousness of victory and defeat.
In the women's singles, if Jang Ben Mi-ho advances, she will face North Korea's Kim Qin-young, who she lost in the women's singles final of the Asian Table Tennis Championships last year, in the third round. Although she also expressed her regret that she lost to her opponent for the first time last time, she said, "First of all, you have to work hard to play in the first and second rounds", and it seems that she wants to run to the top with the belief that she will win in one battle.
