Japan's rising table tennis star Miwa Haramoto, who won silver in the women's team event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, has recently delivered a record that has attracted the attention of fans and strengthened the sense of alarm about her growth and progress.
The 16-year-old Japanese table tennis sister Miwa Zhangmoto, who is currently ranked 6th in the world
In the 2025 WTT Tunisia Challenger held on April 22~27, Miwa Zhang won the double championship. She won the Women's Doubles match against Miyu Kihara by beating Asian champions Satsuki Oto/Sakura Yokoi and Hina Hayada in the Women's Singles final, making her the first WTT Challenger to win three consecutive singles titles for the third consecutive year. In addition, this is also the second time in her career that Miwa Zhang has won against Hina Hayada after the women's singles final of the 2023 Zennonh CUP Osaka Conference.
For Miwa Zhangmoto, who has defeated Japan's top players many times at the 2025 WTT Tunisia Challenger, many fans and media have paid attention, and there are opinions that Miwa Zhang has played an excellent singles and doubles ability at the same time in this station, and it is not surprising that the first sister of the Japanese women's table tennis team is now replaced by Miwa Zhangmoto. In fact, Hina Hayata's recent form has not been adjusted to the best, and Miwa Zhang has surpassed her in the world rankings before.
At the 2025 Macau World Cup that ended not long ago, Zhang Benmei and the national table tennis women's Wang Manyu had a fierce battle. Although Zhang Benmeihe lost 3-4 and missed the top 8 of the women's singles, her performance sounded the alarm for the Chinese table tennis team. As we all know, in this game, Zhang Benmeihe once led Wang Manyu 3-1. If he can take more chances in the next game, he may have a chance to beat Wang Manyu.
The 2025 World Table Tennis Championships will open on May 17 in Doha, Qatar. Japanese media said that Zhang Benmeihe, who aims to defeat the Chinese player, seems to be getting closer and closer to finding the key to victory.
