No way through for Balazova/Matelova
The Czech Republic pairing were halted in their tracks by the Chinese power duo of Wang Manyu with Zhu Yuling – two athletes consistently looking to out do the other, which makes for a very strong partnership. It was a 3-0 (11-4, 11-5, 11-4) win for the Asians, defeating Barbora Balazova with Hana Matelova in 15 minutes.
Over at table 4, Miyu Nagasaki with Miyuu Kihara also landed a straight games win (11-7, 11-7, 11-6), this time over Hong Kong China’s Zhu Chengzhu with Soo Wai Yam Minnie, sending the Japanese duo into the semi-finals.
