World No. 9 Japanese player Misei Ito

The women's doubles combination of Mimato Ito and Hina Hayada won a total of 2 silver and 1 bronze at the World Championships, but the best women's singles record only stopped at the top 8. Ito faced Chinese Taipei's first sister Zheng Yijing in the women's singles round of 16 last night, and the two sides played an epic game in the second game, after 10 draws, Ito won 21:19 hard, and finally won in straight games.

Ito has only won 2 of 12 matches against Wang Yidi in her career, and this year's WTT Singapore Grand Slam and Chongqing Championship were both lost, and the last time she won was back in the 2020 ITTF Year-end Finals Top 8 with a narrow 4:3 victory.

After Ito lost the first game 6:11 today, he showed an excellent feel from the second game, suppressing Wang Yidi all the way, winning 11:8, 11:6, 11:8 in a row, and taking a 4:1 lead at the beginning of the fourth game. Wang Yidi struggled to catch up and once overtook 9:8, but then pulled the ball out of bounds with a backhand and was tied by Ito. At the decisive moment, Ito scored two powerful forehands in a row to win a major victory 11:9, and at the moment of victory, Ito also cried with joy. Ito will face world football queen Sun Yingsha in the semi-finals, who defeated Japanese rookie Satsuki Oto 4-1 in the other quarter-finals.

In the men's singles top 8, the world's No. 1 "Little Stone" Lin Shidong lost to the world No. 5 Liang Jingkun 3:4 (5:11, 8:11, 11:7, 11:5, 8:11, 11:8, 7:11) in the "Chinese Civil War". In recent years, Liang Jingkun has a lot of fate with the World Table Tennis Championships podium, he has won the men's singles bronze medal at the World Table Tennis Championships three times in a row in 2019, 2021 and 2023, and reached the semifinals this year, which means that he has been on the men's singles podium at the World Table Tennis Championships for at least four consecutive times, and is expected to change the color of the medals.
