Singapore Smash 2024
In today’s first round of women’s doubles, Harimoto was confused by the irregular play of the Indian pair and lost the first match.
The first round of the singles match will be her first match against American ace Lili Zhang, who is ranked 3rd in the World Table Tennis 2021 Mixed Doubles.
Harimoto showed a calm fighting style from the start. After forcing his opponent to lift him up with a drive, he successfully hit the course to win the rally and take the first game.
In the second game, they conceded six consecutive points and lost the game, but in the third game, they attacked the opponent’s backside and middle and took a 7-2 lead.
Harimoto also scored Chiquita at a key point to take the lead with the game count at 2-1.
In the fourth game, the opponent held on with a rally and took the lead, but in the middle of the game, Harimoto had a lucky edge-in and a net-in, and when they caught up to 7-7, Harimoto timed out.
From there, Harimoto quickly took the lead and scored four consecutive points, winning 3-1.
