WTT Montpellier Championship: Women’s Singles Semifinalists Decided, Three Incredible Upsets, Japan Completely Eliminated

On November 2nd Beijing time, the women’s singles quarterfinals of the WTT Montpellier Championship finished, and the semifinalists were confirmed. China’s team now only has Wang Yidi remaining. South Korea claimed two places through Shin Yu-bin and Joo Chae-hyuk, and the final spot went to Winter. Moreover, three remarkable occurrences stood out this round. The first was three matches reaching the final game. The second was Winter’s comeback from 0-3 down to win 4-3. The third was Japan’s complete wipeout, all losing in the deciding game!

The first incredible event: In the quarterfinals, three matches extended to the deciding game. Joo Chae-hyuk battled through four tough sets to defeat Hashimoto Honoka 4-3, Winter staged a dramatic 4-3 comeback against Doo Hoi Kem, and Wang Yidi, leading 3-0, held firm to claim a 4-3 victory over Hiramoto Miwa. These fiercely contested matches demonstrate how closely matched the players from different associations are; the difference between winning and losing comes down to a single moment of resolve—whoever withstands the pressure will emerge victorious!

The second incredible event was Winter’s 4-3 comeback against Doo Hoi Kem. This match is nothing short of miraculous—Winter found herself trailing 0-3 and facing elimination, needing to win every remaining game to stay in the tournament. She fought back fiercely, saving three match points, eventually pushing the match to a seventh game. In the decider, she summoned all her strength to overcome her opponent and clinch the 4-3 victory, an inspiring display of determination!

The third incredible event was the complete elimination of the Japanese women’s singles players. Japan entered this tournament with a strong lineup aiming for the championship. Although two players reached the quarterfinals, both Hashimoto Honoka and Hiramoto Miwa were unable to withstand the pressure and lost in grueling seven-game battles. This dealt a heavy blow to Japan’s women’s team, signaling that even without China’s full-strength squad, claiming the title won’t be easy!

With the semifinalists now set, the matchups for the semifinals are clear: Winter will face Shin Yu-bin in a fierce battle for a place in the final. Wang Yidi will take on Joo Chae-hyuk, continuing her impressive run in the tournament. Wang has already defeated two top Japanese players, Hayata Hina and Hiramoto Miwa, showing great resilience. She aims to keep up this momentum and fight for the championship to uphold China’s honor!
