South Korean women's table tennis ace Shin Yubin will face 18-year-old rookie in the first round at the "2025 WTT Chongqing Championship". According to the matchup table released by the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) on the 11th, Shin Yubin will face Egypt's Hana Hussein Mohammed Goda in the first round of the women's singles (round of 32) on the afternoon of the 13th.

South Korean women's table tennis ace Shin Yubin

Goda is ranked 27th in the world, 17 places below Shin Yubin (10th in the world), but the former has been competing in the WTT series recently and is moving up the rankings. It is worth mentioning that in the women's singles round of 16 of the WTT Montpellier Championship in October last year, Goda upset defeated world No. 4 Chen Xingtong 3-1, which sparked a topic.

Because he has the same aggressive style of holding the racket with his right hand as Shin Yubin, it is not easy to hit the other party. Even if Shin Yubin successfully passes the first hurdle with Goda, he will face a difficult road to promotion in the future. After entering the round of 16, it is very likely that he will directly face Chen Xingtong, and the intersection to the final has Wang Manyu, ranked second in the world, in front of him.
