Intanon, who turns 30 next month, has been battling this season, reaching the semi-finals of the Malaysia Open and now moving on to the Indonesia Masters, where she will seek her second title in the tournament since 2020, but today she will meet the futuristic Tomoka Miyazaki.
Intanon has won 2 of the previous 3 encounters with Miyazaki Tomoka, and today the two met in a narrow way, Intanon was almost able to maintain the lead in the first game, and also successfully took the next game, but her mistakes in the second game increased a little, and after the technical timeout, she was directly scored by Miyazaki Yuka in a row, and the two sides could only fight in the third game.
Even though his physical fitness is no longer as good as that of a young man, Intanon is still very experienced, and his style of play has maintained a certain level, and he quickly fought back from 0-2 down in the deciding game, and played an offensive attack that scored seven points in a row to take the lead, and finally took 56 minutes to eliminate the 18-year-old Miyazaki.
Intanon advanced to the semi-finals for the second time this season, and she actually lost 2 games this year to South Korea's world football queen Ahn Se Ying, and now An Seying has not participated, Intanon still has a chance to challenge for the championship trophy. Intanon's next opponent in the next round will be the winner between Taiwan's Song Shuoyun and Vietnam's Nguyen Trai Ling.
