Badminton women's singles Shim Yu-jin (26, Incheon International Airport) won an unexpected victory and reached the quarterfinals of the World Championship.

Shim Yu-jin beat Gregoria Mariska Tunjung of Indonesia 2-0 (21-15, 21-18) in the round of 16 women's singles in Paris, France on the 28th (Korea time).

In fact, it is an unexpected result. Shim Yu-jin is ranked 12th in the world, and has been inferior to Tunjung, ranked 7th in the world, with 1 win and 6 losses. It was a natural enemy for Shim Yoo-jin to the extent that she lost three consecutive games after her first win at the Korea Open in 2023.




However, Shim Yu-jin took the lead from the first game and kept her play pace steady without being swayed at all by the opponent's pursuit. In the second game, he was chased by the opponent's fierce pursuit at the last minute, but he maintained his amazing concentration and completed a thrilling victory.

Shim Yu-jin will face the winner against Ahn Se-young and Michelle Lee in the quarterfinals.
