Hi everyone, Zoe here from Table Tennis Global.
Well, how have you been?
For this episode, we are going to look at one of the best match last year.
If you are asking for the latest matches,
tournaments have ended few days ago with the China Table Tennis Super League.
You can check out the matches on our channel.
Most tournaments will resume on the second week of January,
thus we will be looking at a special matchup.
We will be having the match of Miwa Harimoto of Japan and Manika Batra of India.
For sure, you already know Miwa Harimoto as she currently sits at world's number 6.
Manika Batra, on the other hand,
is known to be one of the best long pips user of today's table tennis.
What is your prediction and who will win in this match?
Miwa is having trouble with the expertise of Manika Batra.
Manika Batra is just a talent in the use of long pips.
Miwa is still adjusting on her strokes, but she managed to take game number 1.
Can Manika continue to outscore the Japanese young star?
A close match as Manika just stands there as the great wall of India with her long pips.
Take note that long pips reverse the spin of the ball
and Miwa is having a hard time adjusting her attacks.
We are now tied at 1 and the odds just keep on getting close to 50-50 with these two.
And yet, another close game 3 with these two talents.
Miwa is now seen talking to her coach and if I am not mistaken,
is that her father?
Anyway, these two are just testaments to how great India and Japan are when it comes to table tennis.
A clash of a great defender and an offensive player.
Miwa is just exploding in this game 4 to have that big lead leading to this time out.
If I am not mistaken, and if this match continues as is,
there is no coming back from this.
Anyway, Table Tennis Global wishes you a great holidays and a happy new year to one and all.
Congratulations to Miwa Harimoto and this is just an exciting match.
More exciting matches coming soon.
This is Zoe and see you next episode.
