Post-match summary and reflections

1. Both Wang Yidi and Chen Yi battled through full five-set matches to earn tough victories, worthy of commendation!
2. Chen Yi’s comeback from 1-2 down to win 3-2 was remarkable! Early on, Chen Yi faced match point, but stayed calm, fighting point by point to win three consecutive sets and overcome the opponent. Such resilience can demoralize any adversary!
3. Wang Yidi, trailing 1-2 against Bruna, who had match point first, also clawed back point by point. Ultimately, she won two straight sets to advance. During the match, Bruna, like Harimoto, loudly celebrated each point, which was quite irritating to hear. After losing, Bruna, similar to Harimoto, suddenly lost spirit!
