The latest report from the Asian Table Tennis Team Championships shows China convincingly beating South Korea 3-0 in the semifinal to reach the final first.

For this semifinal, the Chinese team fielded Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Wang Yidi, with the match outcomes detailed below.

1. In the opening match, Shin Yu-bin was defeated 1-3 by Sun Yingsha, with the exact scores being [4-11, 8-11, 11-4, 4-11].
2. Second match: Kim Na-young lost 1-3 to Wang Manyu, with scores of [11-8, 5-11, 7-11, 6-11].
3. Third match: Lee Eun-hye was beaten 0-3 by Wang Yidi, with scores of [8-11, 4-11, 10-12].
4. The fourth match between Shin Yu-bin and Wang Manyu was not played.
5. The fifth match between Kim Na-young and Sun Yingsha was also not held.

The result of this match was as expected since the skill levels were clearly different. Sun Yingsha is ranked world number one, Wang Manyu is number two, and Wang Yidi is in the top five globally. The opponents rarely rank in the top ten, so South Korea’s loss was predictable, and it’s normal for the Chinese women’s team to advance to the final. In the final, we will face the winner between Japan and Singapore. Can we win? Remember, we lost last year.

Also, a complaint about the venue in India. There was actually water leakage—can you imagine? Such a large stadium having leaks, and after every six balls, they had to mop the floor. Incredible! Yet, some official even praised the organizers. Sigh!
