In the table tennis all-Japan championship, the fifth round of women's singles was held and Misato Ito aiming for the third consecutive victory progressed steadily, while Miu Hirano, who was hired as the representative of the Tokyo Olympics, lost to a high school student .
The fifth round of women's singles was held on the 17th day of the fifth day of the table tennis all-Japan championship held in Osaka City.
Hirano played against Anka Dezawa, a 17-year-old second-year high school student who won the junior women's singles in this tournament last year.
Hirano was unable to cope with the complicated spinning shots delivered from the first game, Dezawa's backhand, and lost a big 4-11.
He regained the second game, but after the third game, he missed the timing because of the wrong timing of the backhand of Dezawa and lost three games in a row.
Hirano was defeated with a game count of 1 to 4, and lost five rounds for the second consecutive year, following last year.
Ito, who is aiming for the third consecutive championship, successfully won the game with a game count of 4: 1, and Yoshizumi Ishikawa also won the game with a score of 4-2 to advance to the sixth round.
Hirano "Practice to beat any player"
Miu Hirano, who lost to a high school student in the fifth round of the women's singles at the All Japan Table Tennis Championships, said, "I made a lot of mistakes when I was leading the third game, and my flow ended there. The backhand was a shot that changed one by one and was broken at a different timing from the other players, so we could not cope until the end. "
For the future, he said, "I've learned and fought against a player with this style of play. I want to practice to beat any athlete, get the results, and be confident in the Olympics." I was switching my feelings.
