Wang Yidi, the 26-year-old main player of table tennis, lost to Japanese table tennis player Hayata Hina in the previous Asian Games in Hangzhou, and finally won a bronze medal. However, Wang Yidi was questioned by the outside world because he failed to reach the final to help table tennis lock the gold and silver medals in advance.
When the time came to WTT Frankfurt Championship, Wang Yidi, ranked fifth in the world, was not the first favourite, but she completed the counterattack step by step. In the quarter-finals, Wang Yidi easily swept her opponent with a big score of 3-0, and in the third game, she scored 11-1, reflecting the gap between the two sides.
In the semi-final, Wang Yidi played against Sun Yingsha, who ranked first in the world. The last time the two sides played against each other was in the final of the Durban World Table Tennis Championships. At that time, Wang Yidi lost to Sun Yingsha and missed the championship. However, Wang Yidi didn’t let the victory slip away this time. After fighting with Sun Yingsha for six games, she won 4-2 and successfully advanced to the final.
The other player in the final was another table tennis player, Manyu Wang. In the Macau Championship in April 2023, Wang Yidi also lost to Manyu Wang. Only this time, Wang Yidi was full of confidence. Beating Sun Yingsha improved her condition, and finally beat Manyu Wang 4-0 with a big score to win the women’s singles title in the Frankfurt Championship.
Sun Yingsha and Manyu Wang are both Olympic champions and women’s singles champions in the World Table Tennis Championships. Their strength level is the first file of the active women’s table tennis team, but Wang Yidi has won two Olympic champions in a row, including a big score of 4-0.
After winning this championship, Wang Yidi will get 1,000 points and a bonus of 30,000 US dollars, equivalent to about 220,000 RMB. This will make Wang Yidi’s world ranking rush to the top three and rank third in the world.
For Wang Yidi, it is very important to win the championship. At this stage, Wang Yidi is in the preparation cycle of the Paris Olympics. Wang Yidi needs to fight for the final three places, and needs to attack the position of Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and Manyu Wang. Considering that Wang Yidi is 26 years old, if she fails to successfully compete in the Paris Olympic Games, she will be 31 years old by the next Olympic Games, and there is basically no possibility of participating in the Olympic Games. For this reason, she needs to rush for the Paris Olympic Games.
Speaking of competitive sports strength, Wang Yidi can beat Sun Yingsha, Manyu Wang and Chen Meng many times, which means that her strength is also the top in the world, and she also has the ability to attack the Olympic gold medal. No athlete doesn’t want to play in the Olympic Games. Every athlete who has worked hard and made achievements deserves this opportunity. I hope that Wang Yidi can continue to attack and strive to successfully participate in the Paris Olympics!
