After several close encounters, Pornpawee Chochuwong emerged victorious over Akane Yamaguchi in the quarterfinals of the Indonesia Open 2021, with a score of 21-6, 21-23, 21-11.

Chochuwong, who had not defeated Yamaguchi since the Total BWF Sudirman Cup in 2019, showcased great patience and determination in their latest match at the Bali International Convention Centre. Despite facing a formidable opponent, Chochuwong fought for every point, pushing herself to the limit after a series of tough matches.

“I felt good today,” expressed a relieved Chochuwong. “I kept fighting for each shot, trying not to worry too much because she returned every shot I played. It’s a great feeling to defeat Akane, as she’s known for her speed. She was leading at one point, but I persevered.”

Persistence proved to be the key in dismantling Yamaguchi’s game plan. The Japanese player had been in exceptional form, clinching titles at the YONEX French Open 2021 and the VICTOR Denmark Open 2021, while also reaching the final at last week’s DAIHATSU Indonesia Masters 2021.

“She was playing against my game plan. The key was to be patient,” revealed Chochuwong.

In the first game, Chochuwong dominated with a comfortable 21-6 lead, utilizing her style of placing shuttles in the four corners of the court. She maintained her game plan throughout, relentlessly pushing Yamaguchi to play into her strategy.
