Chinese Taipei’s Lee Chia Hsin continues her impressive performance at the tournament, securing victories in both Women’s Singles and Mixed Doubles. In Singles, she defeated Croatia’s Maja Pavlinic, while partnering with Kanta Tsuneyama from Japan for a convincing win in Mixed Doubles against Krzystof Jakowczuk (Poland) and Clara Azurmendi (Spain).

Later, Lee and Tsuneyama displayed their exceptional teamwork, overpowering Jakowczuk and Azurmendi with a comfortable 21-10 21-10 lead.

Unlike the previous day, today’s matches did not see any major upsets. Qin Jinjing, another player from China, defeated Ukraine’s Vladyslava Lesnaya. However, unless Lee faces a setback in her final group match against Lesnaya in Group C, Qin’s chances of challenging for the title are slim.

In Group H, He Bing Jiao from China faced a momentary setback as she lost her opening game against Austria’s Janine Lais. However, He quickly regained her stride and allowed Lais only 14 more points in the next two games (17-21 21-11 21-3).

Akane Yamaguchi from Japan and Busanan Ongbumrungpan from Thailand, both top contenders, secured comfortable victories against their opponents. Yamaguchi defeated Sri Lanka’s Thilini Pramodika Hendahewa 21-13 21-6, while Ongbumrungpan dominated France’s Lole Courtois with a 21-8 21-7 win.

An interesting singles match took place between Daniel Guda from Australia and Wolfgang Gnedt from Austria in Group G.
