Wong and Zhao play out a thriller

Before we have the finals today, the men’s and women’s singles are in action and starting the day off with a bang are two Asian athletes. Hong Kong China’s Wong Chun Ting – the conqueror of Liang Jingkun in the last round – could not continue his great run of form as he lost out to China’s Zhao Zihao 4-3 (7-11, 11-4, 11-7, 7-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-6).

Wong and Zihao had a clear mission in their minds to reach the World Tour Grand Finals and this win will give Zhao further belief – and points on the board – that could make the mission successful. For Wong, this loss comes at a critical time as his involvement in the Grand Finals is suddenly dependent on other athletes performances. Stay tuned for further updates!
