Sabelle Siyun Li was Singapore’s heroine in the last eight clash against Hong Kong.

She was the player who secured a semi-final place for her team; she was the player who has guaranteed the south east Asian city state a minimum bronze medal. At least the the same colour as in Tokyo is assured.

Amazing Feeling
Matters level at two matches apiece against Hong Kong, Isabelle Siyun Li faced Lee Ho Ching, she won the first two games then lost the next two before winning a tension packed decider (11-9, 11-8, 8-11, 8-11, 11-8).

"The feeling I have now is amazing, I can’t believe I won, it has not yet sunk in.” reflected a quite bemused Isabelle Siyun Li. “After I lost my two-nil lead and the match was tied at two-two, I told myself to start the match over again and forget about it, I couldn’t let myself be affected."

世界第三哈勒普兵不血刃6-2, 6-3横扫中国选手郑赛赛，黑马巴辛斯基爆冷以6-4, 6-4击败世界第四科维托娃。

科维托娃贵为两届温网冠军以及赛会二号种子，巴辛斯基仅仅为八号种子。巴辛斯基必须完美发挥，特别是防守出色，才能抵挡科娃的火力。的确，瑞士人打出了很多漂亮的击球，发球也不错，适时的小球和挑高球也很奏效。

巴辛斯基认为决赛对手哈勒普很难对付。她说：“2010年我和她打过一次。决赛将很艰难。希望我能延续本周的出色表现，为观众带来精彩一役。”

哈勒普今天击败郑赛赛，晋级决赛。郑赛赛在比赛中竭尽所能，几乎每一局都能和哈勒普打得很接近。哈勒普擅长底线，打出了很多漂亮且清晰的制胜分，郑赛赛也来到网前尽力截击得分以对。
