ITTF Pro Tour China Open - Japanese Opponents Proved Too Strong

Today seems to be unlucky day for our paddlers. Both Singaporean Female Paddlers faltered against Japanese counterparts while our Male paddler lost to Koreans. Seeded no.6, Japan's Fukuhara Ai beat Sun Beibei, the no.24 seed 4-0, (11-9, 11-8, 11-4, 11-6) before her Japanese National Team Compatriot, Ishikawa Kasumi, the no.7 seed, caused Singapore more anguish. In five games (11-7, 7-11, 11-8, 12-10, 11-7), she accounted for veteran Li Jiawei, the no.19 seed.

Gao Ning was unable to break through the strong defense of South Korea's Joo Se Hyuk. The world's best defender swept Gao Ning 0-4.
