Hana Goda vs Wang Yidi | WS R32 | #WTTChongqing 2026

So being a vintage, she rather subsided to a loss. Yeah, it was close in the beginning, champion Chen Meng. That was the result, despite the loss, that really put her on the map. Made us believe in her. And she had her chances to win. Yeah. It's just that given her a chance to challenge the top Chinese players. She's got the touch, the acceleration. What a play. Second to none. And then she shapes for that huge forehand, but why not? And she's there with four game points as she served. She did what she wanted to do. Let's out that scream. She knows that this is just the start. But wow, what a start. Oh, the delicacy. Oh, word. The variety of backhand shots she has is stunning. Well said, John, there. Great to coach Yishan. But back comes Yidi. This is going to be fun. That execution. Nice third ball kill. She's so good at it. Finding openings. Yidi's very clever, but she's not playing her very best. She's good at getting the opponent to second guess herself. Oh, well done off the net cord. Oh, that was a very measured point. Pressure is now back on Goda. Dee pulls out all the skill, all the tricks, all the personality that she has to get herself level here. One apiece. Much improved showing. You're nervous, you're tensed up, you feel a bit slower than normal. This is a sharp start with the first of her two serves. One, as long as Yidi's won all three points. Play it flat out to wide forehand. That was a nice one. There we go. Into the crossover and wide. The main, main thing that Goda needs to do, because the difference is all the things that will work. Oh, just about. She's got her younger opponent. And that's the word that comes to mind when I see Yidi in a draw. And this time, even the flick off the net. She does. And at the moment, this is only going one way. And that way is the Wong Yidi way. I've met him internationally so much, but he was a beast in the Super League. He even beat Fan Zhendong once before. Anything that Hannah's getting right now is really... It's the protection that makes you quite passive. But Yidi knows that if she can... Starting that with a serve. Let's see. Turning backhand. Oh, stunning. Long service. She's got to get the ball wide. A beautiful sound. You wonder what it was going to take to bring that one. Great defense. And she celebrates it as well, she might. Beautifully done. But that's... She's serving to try and stay in this and she's just below 50 percent. Oh, two shots that had you absolutely... Around the 16th. But credit to Goddard. Great depth on that push again. You're going to get into that forehand extension. These are the big moments. So that was a big break and a big... Can she bounce back? Goddard goes down fighting. Great match. Very entertaining. And a scare early on for Wang Yidi. But it speaks volumes to her quality, her composure and her character. After dropping the first 11-6, she came back winning the next three games. Excellent start to our evening. Credit there.
