ITTF Pro Tour China Open - 2nd Round Exit for Feng & Wang

Singapore's Top 2 Women Paddlers crash out of the 2011 ITTF Pro Tour Harmony China Open in the 2nd round of the Women's Singles Event. Feng Tianwei clinched the first two games against Japanese Hiroko Fujii. But the world No. 34 fought back to level the score at 2-2. Feng won the 5th set but lost the 6th and rubber. Wang Yuegu also failed to advance after a 1-4 loss to lower ranked South Korea's Jeon Ji Hee.

However, it was good news for veteran Li Jiawei and Sun Beibei. Li defeated Hong Kong's Ng Wing Nam with a 4-1 margin to earn a place in the 3rd round where she will take on Japan's Ishikawa Kasumi. Meanwhile, Sun Beibei caused a upset against Netherlands' Li Jiao by the narrowest margin of 4-3 in the 2nd round. She will face Japanese Top paddler Fukuhara Ai in the next round.

Singapore also faltered in the Women's Doubles Event. Li Jiawei/Wang Yuegu lost to China's Fan Ying/Wen Jia whilst Sun Beibei/Yu Mengyu faltered against Hong Kong's Lee Ho Ching/Ng Wing Nam.
