Sun Yingsha lost to the Indian player with a score of 1-3, which brought a crushing defeat to the first game of national table tennis.
On the morning of February 16, Beijing time, the 2024 Busan World Table Tennis Championships kicked off.
The national table tennis women's team faced the Indian team in the first match, however, there was a surprising upset at the beginning of the game. World No. 1 Sun Yingsha lost the first set 1-3 in a fierce battle with A. Mukherjee. It was a big start, and it was a reminder that we can't take any opponent lightly.
A. Mukherjee is known for his rare "weird clap", and she uses a pelleted rubber forehand and an arc-proof backhand to make the ball extremely weird.
Last year, she teamed up with her sister S Mukherjee to defeat Chen Meng and Wang Yidi in the Asian Games Women's Doubles. For those who are not familiar with her style of play, it is indeed a huge challenge to face her.
As soon as the game began, Sun Yingsha was in a huge predicament. Although it took the lead at one point, the advantage was not obvious.
Especially when leading 10-7, Sun Yingsha made many mistakes, and lost 3 game points in a row, and finally lost a game 10-12. A. Mukherjee performed well on the court, and he is indeed worthy of being a player who has defeated national table tennis in the women's doubles event.
In the second game, Sun Yingsha decided to use simplified tactics, and in response to A. Mukherjee's special play, she directly used a strong curve ball to break the defense, and achieved remarkable results. This time, she conceded just two points to end the fight, showing off as the world No. 1 player.
However, in the third game, she was once again entangled by her opponent, and in the face of this situation, Coach Marin decisively called a timeout to make tactical adjustments.
After Sun Yingsha returned to the arena, she still did not grasp the initiative. Instead, Mukherjee chased back the score to a tense situation of -12.
The Indian team used up the timeout, but Sun Yingsha could not withstand the pressure and finally lost again 11-13, falling behind 1-2 and having to face a desperate situation.
In the fourth game, Sun Yingsha fell behind again. Although there was a tie for the score, there were various difficulties in the second half. In the end, she lost the whole game 6-11, setting the first major upset of this World Table Tennis Championships.
Mukherjee raised his arms and shouted in celebration of his victory. The Indian player once again managed to break through the Chinese team's defense, which was really surprising!
