Shin Yoo-bin's drive in the first game was successful, leading 4-1. They allowed a 4-4 tie, but led 8-6, 9-6. However, Wang Manyu, the world's strongest top ranker in China, was also not easy. The 10-10 deuce blood fight began, giving up one game 10-12. In the second game, Shin Yu-bin also took the lead with a preemptive attack. Pore drives, which turned around from the backside and flew confidently, were the best. They led 6-3, 8-4. Wang Man-yu's counterattack shook the receiving and allowed a 9-7 chase, but 10-7, he grabbed a game point. A powerful foredrive brought in 11-7.2 games. Shin Yu-bin clenched his fist. Game Score 1-1, balanced the game.
Three games were also a treat. After two runs, he overcame a rally to chase 2-2. The TTR was operated by Wang Man-yu's service challenge, but it failed, and Shin Yu-bin's attack succeeded and led 4-2. Afterwards, he allowed Wang?Chem? to tie again, then fell to 5-7, but Shin Yu-bin also did not give up. I was persistent with him. 8-8. Not an inch behind in the speed and backfand fight.

It was pushed to 2-5 in four games, but Shin Yu-bin's pursuit was fierce. The backhand attack was successful, continuing a tight trend of 6-6, 7-7. However, he gave up four runs and gave up four games 7-11. He also gave up 5 games 7-11, but his performance to overcome a backhand rally until the end and chase to 9-7 was impressive. Shin Yu-bin's momentum, which reached the semifinals after beating the world's fourth-ranked Chinese ace Kwai Man in the round of 16 of this tournament and winning the quarterfinals against rising star Zhu Chun-hee, was enough to threaten the strongest Chinese ace. Through this competition, Shin Yu-bin, the 'Top Ranker of Korea' has taken a step up. There was no longer any fear of a Chinese top ranker.
