Back in October, Tai Tzu Ying had revealed that she was learning English to help her communicate with her fans worldwide and promised to get more proficient in the coming months. Today, at the YONEX Thailand Open, she made good on that promise by answering media questions entirely in English.
After completing a 21-18 26-24 result over Thailand’s Benyapa Aimsaard, Tai, initially tentative but growing in confidence, said: “I feel so happy to play my first match here. It is strange to play without any crowds. I will try to focus on myself for the next round, I made too many unforced errors in the first match,” said the world No.1.
Tai said she'd been attending online classes once a week.
