World Team Table Tennis Championships 2008 - Women's Team Results (24/2)
Our female paddlers defeated Poland with a score of 3-1.

In the first game, Wang Yue Gu defeated Poland's Li Qian with a score of 3-1. After which, Feng Tian Wei overcame Xu Jie in straight games. She won 11-6, 11-9, 11-8. However, Li Jia Wei faced much difficulty. Throughout the game, Jia Wei was unable to find her form.

Natalia Partyka won the first two games against a below par, Li Jia Wei; however, the Singaporean then stepped up a gear and in the third and fourth games played at a level befitting her world ranking.

Furthermore, matters seemed to be going her way in the decisive fifth game as she won a fluke point to move into a 7-5 lead; a high lobbed return from Li Jia Wei bounced cruelly at the Poland's side of the table, forcing Natalia Partyka to smile in desperation as she missed the ball. However, the incident did not affect Natalia Partyka. She won the next six points and Poland celebrated. Alas, for the European country it was to be their only win in their Championship Group B Women's match against Singapore.

Feng Tianwei ended matters with a four games win over Li Qian.
