The North Korean left hander KIM
Hyon Hui once more proved that she can challenge the best in the World
when she forced the World Champion to give her very best to beat her in
the first round of women’s singles at the Grand Finals.
WANG Nan went quite easily to 2-0
but then KIM came in to her game with her brilliant blocking and her good
forehand top spin. KIM won the 3rd but WANG went to 3-1 winning
the 4th 11-5.
KIM though stayed in there and
came back to 2-3 before the World Champions took the match winning the 6th
game 11-6.
In the quarter finals WANG Nan will face Tamara BOROS (CRO) who won 11-9 in the 7th game against Yuka NISHII (JPN).
