"I'm going to hang on more." I'll do my best to win."

Shin Yu-bin (Korean Air, world No. 10) has advanced to the round of 16 in women's singles at the 2025 World Table Tennis Federation (ITTF).

Shin Yu-bin defeated Gaia Monfardini (11-5, 8-11, 11-9, 14-12.16-14) in the round of 32 women's singles at Lusail Sports Arena in Doha, Qatar on the 21st (Korea time).




He brought one game lightly to 11-5 but lost two games to 8-11. He took the lead by bringing back three games to 11-9, and took the lead by taking a four-game deuce close game 14-12. In the last five games, he allowed a turnaround and gave up game points to the opponent first, but he succeeded in a turnaround with a calm response and confirmed his advance to the round of 16 with a 16-14 victory. Sun Ying-sha (China) is the most likely opponent in the round of 16. Sun Ying-Sha and Charlotte Roots (France) will compete against the winner of the match to advance to the quarterfinals.

Immediately after going to the round of 16, Shin Yu-bin said in an on-site interview, `He came up after beating the players whose opponents were in need. I prepared more thoroughly in that area, but the crisis came. I was fortunate to be able to win while discussing the operation well."

Sun Ying-sha is likely to face the round of 16. "I'm fortunate to have come all the way to the place where I meet Sun Ying-sha..." he said, expressing his unique positive mind. `Korea's Top Ranker' Shin Yu-bin has never won a match against top Chinese rankers such as Sun Ying-sha and Wang Yi. In interviews, he often said "World Class only when we beat Chinese and Japanese aces." Ahead of his showdown with Sun Ying-sha, Shin Yu-bin said, `I wish I could be satisfied with the play itself rather than the performance. If I like it, I will succeed even if I lose." "Now that I've come this far, I want to play a good game with good content. We don't know what the game will be like. I'll do my best to win" expressed his determination. "I know you're a strong opponent. If you do your best to prepare, the opportunity will come." In the round of 32 and deuce crises, Shin Yu-bin's unique fighting spirit was fierce. When Shin Yu-bin said that there were more 'pee-yak mode', he became 'pee-yak' as he tried to make the atmosphere more exciting. Since there are games that can be the last one, I'm going to hang on more," he said, expressing his eagerness for victory.




Meanwhile, Shin Yu-bin is in the quarterfinals in both mixed doubles with Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange) and women's doubles with 'new partner'Yuhan (Posco International). If you go over one level, you can stand in the podium. Unlike the Olympics, the individual competition at the World Championships does not have a third-place match. He will secure a bronze medal at the same time as he goes to the semifinals.
