Table tennis Misato Ito Chinese player break tour championship November 18th 4:59

Misato Ito, a ping-pong player who is sure to be a representative of the Tokyo Olympics, won the championship in the Women's Singles Final of the international tournament held in Austria on the 17th.

Since Ito decided to advance to the semi-finals at this World Tour Austrian Open, it was confirmed that it would be within the top two Japanese players in the world rankings in January next year, which is the selection criteria for the Tokyo Olympics and singles representatives. The representative has been confirmed.

In the final, which won the semi-finals, we played 4th place in the world against China's Zhu Yuan.

Ito put the 3rd game with a game count of 1: 1 into the tough course and took 11-7, and the 4th game competed until the end, but skillfully manipulated the racket in the 11-11 situation. In the end, I picked up the game point by inviting the mistake of the opponent, and finally I took the Service Ace and took 13 to 11.

In the 5th game, Ito, who won 12-12, won the game with a 4: 1 game count.

The table tennis world tour ended in this tournament, with the exception of next month ’s Grand Final, and all of the 12 tournaments ended. Chinese singles had won the championship so far. I won my first victory in the final.

Ito said with a smile, “I really thought about how the rally would continue and I would take one. I got a lot of support and power.”
