Shin Yoo-bin (Korean Air), who was the first Korean female player to reach the semifinals of the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) World Cup, has not achieved a new history of advancing to the finals.
Shin Yu-bin, ranked 13th in the world, was eliminated after losing 2-4 (8-11, 13-11, 13-11, 13-11, 6-11, 7-11, 5-11) in the women's singles semifinals of the tournament in Macau, China on the 5th (Korea time).
With the defeat, Shin Yu-bin ended the tournament's journey with the history of advancing to the semifinals for the first time in Korea.
This World Cup is a singles competition involving 48 top male and female rankers. In the group stage, Shin Yu-bin beat Linda Veristrom (Sweden, 62nd) and Jung Ji-an (Singapore, 34th) to advance to the round of 16 as the top of Group 10.
He made a new history of Korean table tennis by defeating Han Ying (Germany, 20th) in the round of 16 and Chen Xingtung (China, 3rd), who is considered one of the favorites in the quarterfinals.
However, it did not exceed Wang Man-wi, another favorite who was weak with all four losses in the past.
Shin Yu-bin, who lost one game 8-11, succeeded in turning the tables by winning both two and three games after a close deuce match, but later lost three games to swallow his disappointment.
