On the 23rd local time, the 2025 Doha World Table Tennis Championships will start four women's singles quarterfinals. Since China and Japan each occupy half of the top 8 women's singles, these four women's singles quarterfinals have become four Sino-Japanese matches. Among them, world No. 9 Misei Ito defeated No. 4 Chinese player Wang Yidi 4-1 to enter the semifinals. Because there was no third-place match, he was sure that he won a medal at the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time in singles. It is worth mentioning that at the last World Table Tennis Championships in Durban, Japanese player Hina Hayada also defeated Wang Yidi in a women's singles quarterfinal and locked a women's singles bronze medal in advance.
