The fourth and fifth games were also tight, but Wang Yidi consistently got the better of Zhu Yuling in critical moments, winning both 11-8 to complete a "lose one then win four" comeback, becoming the first player to advance to the women's singles semifinals. Throughout the match, Wang Yidi played very aggressively, with sharp forehand attacks and a rock-solid defense, securing a well-deserved victory.

Chen Xingtong faced Japanese rising star Odo Sayo. As the defending champion, Chen Xingtong has been in scorching form this tournament, sweeping into the quarterfinals without dropping a single game. In the quarterfinal against host player Odo Sayo, Chen Xingtong went berserk, dominating throughout and sweeping the opponent 4-0 with game scores of 11-4, 11-6, 11-7, and 11-7. It was an absolute destruction. Chen Xingtong's performance was brutally dominant. With this, Chen Xingtong achieved three consecutive wins and advanced to the semifinals, becoming the second player to reach the women's singles semifinals.

There are two remaining quarterfinals, scheduled for the afternoon. One is the match between top seed Miwa Zhang and Shin Yubin, a battle between the top female players of Japan and South Korea. The match will start at 17:30, and Miwa Zhang is very likely to win. The other is a clash between Chinese national team rising star Kuai Man and Hina Hayata at 18:15, which is undoubtedly a heavyweight showdown. Kuai Man faces a tough test and must be cautious. It is predicted that the semifinalists could be three Chinese women surrounding Miwa Zhang. Let's wait and see!
