The 25-year-old edged the quarterfinal against the three-time champion 22-20 13-21 21-19 after battling it out for 65 minutes.
“I was definitely excited at the moment of winning but now I’ve calmed down a bit,” Han said post-match.
Han credited her ability to adapt to the match conditions for tipping the balance in her favour, even after letting Chen rally from five points down to level at 17-all in the deciding game.
