Shin Yubin
Although Shin Yubin is currently ranked seventh in the world in women's singles, it is seriously inconsistent with her strength, and she relies on some low-level tournaments and a large number of participations, resulting in an inflated world ranking. Unlike other consistent performances in the world's top 10, Shin has only occasionally reached the quarterfinals of high-level competitions.
Miyu Kihara
This time, Shen Yubin faced the Japanese team Kihara Miyu, who scored 10-5 consecutive game points at the end of the first game and won 11-6. In the second game, Kihara Miyu crushed the situation, Shen Yubin had no power to fight back, and Kihara Miyu was 11-3 in a single game. In the third game, Shen Yubin led the situation, Kihara Miyu chased the score, Shen Yubin shouted a timeout, and Kihara Miyu continued to perform strongly, winning 11-6.
In the second round of the game, South Korea's Zhu Qianxi retired due to injury, Xu Hyo-won 0-3 Chinese Taipei Zheng Yijing, Shin Yubin 0-3 Kihara Miyu.
In this way, there are still two players left in the Korean women's singles, Tian Zhixi faces the American team Zhang An, and has a great hope of hitting the quarterfinals. Jin Naying faced the Warring States Table Tennis King Yidi, and there was no chance of winning.
