After the media announced the WTT China Grand Slam last October, Ito's conversation attracted attention again. "I've been fighting against Sun Yingsha since I was younger. At the time, I was a junior high school student, but I knew that there were very strong opponents among my peers. After that, there were many opportunities to fight. Sun Yingsha has won many championships from her youth to now, and she has also won gold medals at the Olympics, which is amazing. She had become unable to imagine being her own peers. ”

Ito's words and deeds full of respect for Sun Yingsha have also touched Chinese fans on the Internet. "Give it your all in the game and after the game, the strong guys praise each other. That's the beauty of sports. "Sun Yingsha and Mimato Ito have good smiles! Compete with each other in the game and bond with each other off the pitch. That's the beauty of sports. ”
