Honoka Hashimoto vs Chen Yi WS R16 WTTSingapore2026

After a loss. Oh, what a get. She might write it off as a slow start, but in the Team China camp, that will be seen as a very healthy first game, that one. Oh, it just catches the end of the table. Oh, wow. Oh, edge. Five game points for Team Love. Really well played. She's very much on top in this. It's a game plan that is yielding dividends for her. She's playing with her head. So it looks like it's heavy back, but it's not. It just messes with the brain as well. It's the position Chunyi wanted to be in. The other way round. You're trying to scrap and think about ways you can hurt Ono Kurashimoto. I wonder when the body shots come in from Chunyi. Again, Chunyi tries to force the issue. Ono Kurashimoto so often is able to get backhand. So we haven't seen for a while Chunyi attack the body like she was doing in the first game so well. It tends to be whipped now. Which allows Ono Kurashimoto to do that, get a full swing on the ball. That's the body shot. Throughout this one. But she wins with one of them. Who scores a first ever win against Ono Kurashimoto. And you have to salute the intelligence and the execution of this game plan from Chunyi. One of the most intelligent players on the women's circuit. She really has thought this one through and brought her A game here.
