Miwa Zhang and Teruku Matsushima completed the final adjustments before the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships in Doha and are looking forward to a good start

The Japanese team participating in the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships (which opened on the 17th) made final adjustments at the Lusail Arena, the venue. Zhang Benmei, the first sister of Japanese table tennis who participated in the World Table Tennis Championships for the first time and participated in 3 events, said with enthusiasm before the game: "(Entering Doha) has been practicing for about 3 days, and now I feel very good. First of all, it's good to work hard to win in the first round and in all events. In addition to the women's singles competition, Miwa Zhang will also participate in the women's doubles match with Miyu Kihara and the mixed doubles match with 18-year-old Teruku Matsushima.

The schedule shows that 16-year-old Zhang Benmei and the mixed doubles from the 17th made their debut. The up-and-coming duo of Teruku Matsushima and Miwa Zhang are looking forward to making a start to the World Table Tennis Championships in the mixed doubles field. Expectations in Japan are also rising for the combination of the two young people. The younger Zhang Benmeihe said with a smile: "It's always a little angry. I controlled it today (laughs) and I want to praise it again during practice. "It's getting stronger day by day, and my body is also tense. I think I had a good exchange." Japanese media said on the 17th that the mixed doubles of the Japanese table tennis team began to be led by a young duo in their 10s, which is expected to bring momentum to the team.

Teruma Matsushima said calmly: "I have already practiced with Miwa Zhangmoto, so I hope that the two of them can show their strength in the first round of mixed doubles." Of course, it would have been nice to win easily 3-0 (from the first match), but I don't think the World Table Tennis Championships is that simple, so I hope that I don't play a useless game from the first goal and cherish it. I hope to win one game at a time. ”
