Women's Singles Final: Zheng Yijing won 600 points
Zheng Yijing was in a brave state, and Mittram was difficult to resist his attack.
Zheng Yijing will face Mittram in the Women's Singles final of the Goa Star Challenge in India, and Zheng's form clearly gives confidence to her championship prospects. In the semifinals, she swept Yang Xiaoxin directly and showed excellent game form. Zheng Yijing's consistency in holding the ball has been impressive, and she has not won an international title for a long time, and the singles title at this Star Challenge is particularly important for her, which will bring 600 points.
Looking back at Zheng Yijing's previous match with Wang Manyu, she showed excellent offensive pressure and once took the lead in the score. Against Mittram, Zheng Yijing is expected to further extend her advantage. Mittram showed good quality in singles in successive victories over two young South Koreans, especially when hitting the mid-to-far platform, where she showed a stronger power ball advantage. However, Zheng Yijing has a wealth of experience in the game, and she is confident that she can mobilize her opponents through delicate first-three board tactics.
Despite his relative youth, Mittram will not be easy to gain the upper hand on the ball. Zheng's experience and tactical savvy could be key in this matchup. If Mittram wants to beat his opponent and win the championship, he needs not only hard power, but also innovative tactical changes. In this game, even if it is a tough match, Zheng Yijing may not lose, especially in the case of defeating Yang Xiaoxin, Mittram faces a huge challenge. Therefore, Zheng Yijing has a fairly good chance of winning this game and is less likely to be dragged into a tiebreaker.
Men's singles final: Hugo provokes Lebrun, delicate tactics may become the magic weapon to win
In the Men's Singles final, France's Felix Lebrun will take on Brazil's Hugo, and Lebrun is clearly more sure of winning. Hugo is good at attacking the first three boards, and has excellent offensive ability in the middle and far platforms, and is an outsourced player with outstanding comprehensive ability. However, in terms of tactical delicacy, there is a certain gap between him and Lebrun. Lebrun's offensive pressure on the front three boards near the platform is stronger, and the ability to reverse pull in the middle and far platforms cannot be underestimated, so this game is destined to be very exciting.
Hugo was easily knocked back by Lebrun's varied serve, which was both forehand and backhand, which was deceptive. Once Hugo is limited in the return link, he will be less likely to win the match. In this competition, Lebrun will compete with his brother, and the elder brother was eliminated early in the mixed doubles competition, Hugo is in excellent form, defeating South Korea's first brother Lim Jong-hoon, Sweden's Carlberg and table tennis veteran Ocharov, and the gold content of reaching the final is very high.
Lebrun successfully avenged Moregaard in the match and defeated Aruna, which shows that his strength cannot be underestimated. However, Lebrun's current shortcomings may be his tendency to slip into impatience after the attack is suppressed. Despite being a young player, his performance in the game may not be consistent enough, especially when it comes to emotions. He is a straight-board player with a unique style of play, and despite his youth, he has shown great talent.
Although Hugo used a submarine-style serve, he often stepped back to attack. Lebrun excels at long-range pull-backs, but is better suited to close-up, making his front-three board offense more threatening. If Hugo can't withstand the opponent's first three boards and stays in a state of defensive fatigue, the probability of winning the game will be reduced. At the moment, Lebrun is struggling to find a strong competitor in the European table tennis arena, so he is participating in the Challenger not only to score points, but also to prepare for next month's team World Table Tennis Championships.
These foreign players frequently participate in the competition in order to prepare for the upcoming World Table Tennis Championships, in order to gain competition experience and maintain their condition. Although they can't enjoy the sparring resources of national table tennis players, through frequent participation, their duels with masters from all walks of life will add luster to their careers. In this men's singles final, the matchup between Lebrun and Hugo will be a battle of technique and tactics, and we can expect the intensity and excitement of this match.
