After Dai Ziying's injury, Song Shuoyun became the first sister of the new Chinese Taipei, but she did not have much outstanding performance in the women's singles field this season. Song Shuoyun has only won the 2022 Canadian Open in the past five meetings with world No. 19 Zhang Beiwen, and the other four have ended in defeats.

Song Shuoyun overcame the disadvantage of 4:8 in the first game and scored 7 points in a row, and entered the technical timeout with 11:8. With the momentum of taking the lead, Song Shuoyun threw off Zhang Beiwen after the pause in the second game, and the battle took only 35 minutes to win.

Although Song Shuoyun successfully advanced to the round of 16, her opponent will be the world's No. 3 Japanese star Akane Yamaguchi, who lost in straight games in the previous two moves.
