Drama in the men’s singles draw as Fang Bo adds a huge scalp to the list of upsets in Suzhou with his elimination of Xu Xin!

But, Fang is a fighter and before long it is he who holds the lead with three consecutive game wins. Then, in game six disaster strikes for Xu, who requires medical attention to address a leg related injury – Fang shows no mercy and claims his ticket to the quarter-finals (7-11, 8-11, 11-8, 11-6, 11-9, 11-8).

14-year-old star makes quarter-finals (Suzhou 2015)

A simply incredible effort from Japanese teenager Mima Ito, who continues to defy expectations with another exceptional performance at the 2015 World Championships in Suzhou.

Taking on a crafty opponent in Ukraine’s Tetyana Bilenko, Ito (14) races into a two-game lead with little difficulty. Bilenko, herself chasing a dream spot in the last eight, ups the pace to reduce the deficit but it proves to be in vain as Ito comes away victorious (11-5, 11-8, 10-12, 11-9, 12-10).
