Post-match summary and reflections

1. In the first match, Wang Yidi won the first three games, then her opponent came back to win the next three, but Wang Yidi triumphed again in the deciding game. I imagine Mima Ito must have been in tears again, as the feeling of hope slipping away right before your eyes is the hardest to bear. Looking forward to Wang Yidi winning the championship!
2. In the second match, although Chen Yi was ranked higher than her opponent, her skills and especially experience were not on par with Shin Yubin. Losing early this morning was understandable, so there’s no need for complaints. Chen Yi, please keep working hard to improve your game and aim for more titles! We believe in you!
