Event summary and reflections

1. On the first day, seven national players were eliminated in the opening round, which is a bit disappointing. We hope the advancing players will keep pushing hard!
2. The biggest regret was Bai Yulu losing at match point — such a pity, as she is my favorite player to watch.
3. Gao Yang's victory was the biggest surprise and deserves praise. Jiang Jun's win was expected.
4. The other players’ wins or losses were generally in line with expectations.
