With Nguyen travelling by herself to the German Open, the Vietnamese has depended on the Singapore team for her training sessions. However, Yeo kept her focus and came through in 41 minutes, 21-16 21-17, for her career’s biggest victory, which also marked Singapore’s first title at the German Open.
“My opponent in the final is my very good friend,” said Yeo. “Off court we always eat together. And also she doesn't have a coach so we train together as well. She's also been improving and she has a good attack and I hope that we both can keep getting better.”
Speaking of what the title meant to her, she said: “I’m very grateful for this opportunity that I can win my first Super 300 title and I'll continue to do my best.
