Tai looked out of sorts in the opening game but rebounded in the next two to reach her first final since the Singapore Open. She blamed her sluggish start on her tendency to commit too many unforced errors.
“My control in the first game was terrible and that affected my mental game,” she said.
“I think I really need to cut down on my unforced errors. I tend to make simple errors. This is something I need to be mindful of especially during crucial points. She put a lot of pressure on me today and made it difficult for me.
