The most prolific Women’s Singles player this season will take on the world champion in the
quarterfinals of the YONEX-SUNRISE Hong Kong Open 2018 tomorrow.
Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu Ying, who has scorched the field this year with six World Tour titles, and world champion Carolina Marin – winner of two World Tour titles – face off after they won their second round matches yesterday. While Tai was taken to three games by Hong Kong’s Cheung Ngan Yi (17-21 21-16 21-9), Marin brushed aside the challenge of Canada’s Michelle Li, 21-14 21-8. Tai has a 6-4 record over Marin, and has won all their last five encounters – but the two haven’t played each other since January.
