After Yang Ha-eun lifted the WTT Feeder Farma 2025 Women's Singles Championship, the last World Table Tennis (WTT) feeder series competition this season, the main screen of the WTT website was decorated with the title `Turn the Clock Back: Yang Ha-eun Wins Singles for the first time in seven years.' Yang Ha-eun beat Japanese ace Akae Kaho 11-9 in a row in the women's singles final and then gave up 3-4 games 6-11 and 6-11. However, he clinched the championship by crawling to 11-4 in the last five games. It is the first singles championship in seven years since 2018. Since the introduction of the WTT system, it is the first singles championship in my life.
Yang Ha-eun, born in 1994, is the original table tennis prodigy and is the representative ace who has led the Korean women's table tennis team for more than a decade along with Seo Hyo-won and Jeon Ji-hee. However, ahead of the Paris Olympics, there was also a slump between the advancement of junior players such as Shin Yoo-bin and the growth of naturalized aces. However, he overcame the ordeal with his innate sincerity and grit that did not know to give up. Yang Ha-eun was revived as if to be seen while working with Hwaseong City Hall director Kim Hyung-seok. He won the Pro Table Tennis League Series 2 this season and showed off his strong performance by beating his juniors one after another in the Pro Table Tennis Final last month. In particular, even though it was difficult to participate due to a knee injury, he showed his fighting spirit to reach the final, and immediately after the competition, he continued to participate in the WTT Oman Contender Competition. Director Kim Hyung-seok even mentioned gratitude and pity in an unusual way.
The ceaseless effort has returned to the beauty of winning for the first time in seven years. WTT said "'Her return to the world No. 11 was a bumpy road. The Parma competition was also on the verge of being eliminated early twice in the beginning. Yang struggled in the first two games, barely overpowered Lin Mende (5-11, 11-8, 11-6, 5-11, 11-7), and then came from behind to win two games behind Giorgia Piccolin (9-11, 4-11, 11-5, 11-4, 11-9), who was enthusiastically supported by the home crowd. Afterwards, Yang Ha-eun accelerated her pace and defeated Tatiana Kukulkova and Kim Sung-jin in a row, and at the age of 31, she advanced to the first women's singles final of the WTT era. And at the most important moment, Yang lifted the trophy in Parma by preventing the last-minute pursuit of the three-time WTT feeder champion Akae Kaho. "The 31-year-old ace's comeback and Yang Ha-eun's turnaround victory made headlines.
