In the first round of the women's singles at the World Table Tennis Championships, Sun Yingsha, ranked No. 1 in the world, unexpectedly lost to the lower-ranked Indian player Aishka Mukherjee.

Full text: In the first round of the women's singles group stage of the World Table Tennis Championships in Busan, Sun Yingsha, the number one female player of the Chinese team, ushered in a contest with India's Ashika Mukherjee on the morning of the 16th. In the match, world No. 1 Sun Yingsha lost 1-3 to lower-ranked Mukherjee, and the result surprised fans.
The key to this game is Mukherjee's special style of play. Her racquet is made of granular rubber for her forehand, while her backhand is made of arc-proof rubber. The anti-arc style of play focuses on spin, disrupting the opponent's pace and rhythm by creating a strong spinning ball. The combination of particles and arc defense makes this style of play more varied and deceptive, creating more trouble for opponents.
Sun Yingsha mentioned in the post-match review that she actually has a certain understanding of Mukherjee's style of play, and she mainly loses in the control of key points. Sun Yingsha pointed out: "Because her racket is full of rubber particles on both sides, sometimes she will hesitate to play from which side to start first, so I think the main reason for losing is that she is not particularly good at controlling herself." ”
Ashika Mukherjee's victory was not accidental. In the doubles competition of the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, she and her sister successfully defeated Chen Meng and Wang Yidi, the main Chinese table tennis players. The singles victory has made her even more eye-catching and has made people more curious about how she copes with a world-class player like Sun Yingsha.
Regarding this defeat, Sun Yingsha said frankly: "The reason for the first defeat is that I was not particularly decisive in my control of the key points. The young player blamed himself for his hesitation in the match, but also said that he would work harder in the following matches to improve his game control.
This unexpected loss may become a wake-up call for Chinese women's table tennis. As a leader in Indian table tennis, Mukherjee's victory may not only be an individual shining point, but also a microcosm of the overall strength of Indian table tennis.
This also makes people wonder whether Indian table tennis players can become a more challenging competitor to the Chinese team after breaking through the main national table tennis lineup many times in recent years. Last year, Indian men's table tennis star Ghana Sekaran made a bold statement that Indian table tennis is expected to surpass China in 20 years, does this victory indicate that this goal is gradually achieved?
Sun Yingsha's defeat made people lament the unpredictability of the table tennis game, and also aroused attention to the rise of table tennis in India. Accidents and mistakes in the game may be the charm of sports, and every player needs to constantly summarize and strive to improve in each game.
In the next matches, how will Sun Yingsha adjust her form and re-show the style of the world's number one female player? Whether the Indian table tennis team can continue with this Mukherjee's performance is also commendable. She was very humble in her post-match interview, admitting that she didn't have much of a game plan and just gave it her all. This authentic and candid attitude makes people feel her love and hard work for table tennis.
Mukherjee's special style of play and excellent play have brought a lot of pressure to the Chinese team. In the past matches, some players of the Indian table tennis team have repeatedly shown a certain threat to the Chinese team. And this victory has given them more confidence and made people start to re-examine the rise of table tennis in India.
Sun Yingsha mentioned that the opponent's rubber combination style of play made her hesitate when reviewing the match, but this is also a common situation in table tennis. When opponents play differently, players need to make decisions faster and adapt to changes in opponents. This is also a kind of technical and tactical duel in table tennis, and winning or losing often depends on who is faster.
