Tomokazu Zhangmoto and Miwa Zhangmoto made their latest appearance today! The Japanese table tennis brothers and sisters are full of confidence on their faces
News on Saturday, April 27, 2024, Beijing time. Tomokazu Zhangmoto, Meimei Zhang, and their siblings, under the leadership of their father Zhang Benyu, participated in an event in Japan today. We saw that the brother and sister were wearing blue tracksuits, full of energy. In the just-concluded Macau World Cup, the brother and sister gained a lot, and all won bronze medals. Their parents were very happy. Of course, I also believe in Chinese national table tennis, and began to study the technical and tactical characteristics of Zhang Ben's brothers and sisters with all their might. Because of the Paris Olympics, this brother and sister is undoubtedly an opponent that Chinese national table tennis must deal with seriously.
His elder brother Tomokazu Zhangmoto, born in 2003, has appeared at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, and even began to make a name for himself in 2018 and 2019. During that time, Tomokazu Zhang surpassed Takashi Niwa, surpassed Mizutani Hayabusa, and surpassed Maharu Yoshimura to become a Japanese male single. It was also during that time that Chinese national table tennis began to study him very systematically. In the past few decades, Chinese men's table tennis has spared no effort from studying Waldner, to studying Kim Taek-so and Liu Chengmin, and then to studying the Bol, Tomokazu Zhangmoto, and Lebrun brothers, which is very fine.
And her sister Zhang Benmeihe, born in June 2008, is only more than 15 years old. After the Tokyo Olympics, the Japan Table Tennis Association began to work very hard to train her and give her a lot of opportunities to compete. In 2023, Zhang Benmeihe has played two very beautiful games. They were the Hangzhou Asian Games, Zhang Benmeihe partnered with Miyu Kihara, defeated Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, and was born in China, blocking our women's doubles from the finals!
Subsequently, at the end of 2023, at the Chengdu Mixed Team World Cup, Miwa Zhang and Hayasuke Togami partnered with Hayasuke Togami and defeated Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin. So far, Zhang Benmeihe has defeated China's top masters in women's doubles and mixed doubles.
In the just-concluded Macau World Cup, Zhang Benmeihe defeated Wang Yidi 4-1. That game shocked Chinese fans. Because in fact, in the semifinals of the WTT regular challenge in Goa, India in February 2023, Zhang Benmei and Wang Yidi will also face Wang Yidi. Do you still have an impression of that game? Zhang Benmei and Chen Siyu first eliminated 3-1. Then they faced Wang Yidi, and the two of them fought hard for 5 rounds, and they were shocked to sweat: the score of the 5 games was: 11-4, 7-11, 9-11, 11-9, 11-8! Wang Yidi fell behind 1-2 in that game and then reversed 3-2 and narrowly won! A year later, Zhang Benmeihe defeated Wang Yidi! She was already able to defeat China's first-class athletes in the women's singles!
Or that Indian National Tournament station, Zhang Benmei and Nagasaki Misleeve also won the women's doubles championship, and Hayasuke Togami lost to Zhang Yuzhen and Tian Zhixi in the mixed doubles——, from February last year to April 2024 now, Zhang Benmei and how fast he has improved in 14 months! By the way, don't forget, in the Paris Olympic Trials of the Japanese Table Tennis Association, Miwa Zhang Ben squeezed out Misei Ito! So young, so explosive.
The appearance of Ai Fukuhara and Kasumi Ishikawa is actually not a big threat to China's national table tennis. Later, Miyu Hirano came out and was nervous for a while, but she could soon hold her down! Then Misei Ito broke out, but Deng Yaping said very professionally: Misei Ito's upper limit is there. Sure enough, Ito couldn't break through his own bottleneck. - From the current point of view, Zhang Benmeihe's playing style is very advanced, with excellent two-sided anti-glue skills, speed, mentality, and ball sense have surpassed her 15-year-old age. Chinese national table tennis needs to make a good arrangement for her!
