Congrats to Taiwan's Huang Yi Hua for making the Finals of a WTT Contender. She takes out top seed Yang Xiaoxin 3-1 (5,-10,7,9).

@pongfugrasshopper favorite lady Satsuki Odo against HYH will be tasty to watch. As well as the two backhand players of Jorgic and Franz

Jorgic and Franz are clubmates, it will just be their daily practice streamed on YouTube lol.

Odo wins in 4 straight games, but the last two were not easy. She came back from 6-10 -> 12-10 in game 4 to take the title. She surpasses both Kihara and Nagasaki in world ranking with this win.

Huang is just incredible
coming out of retirement and playing as good as she ever had (I can see she is slower, but her heart is still 20 years old).

so, she is like Chuang Chih-Yuan
only that Huang doesn't own an academy/TT center, but Huang does coach more hours a day than she trains her self.

One of the most devote in caring/helping younger players that I have seen.
She will always be eager to be a sparring partner for younger players, even if it isn't charged for.

So, Odo plus 400...
I wonder, in Alma-Ata.... How far can she go?

Satsuki Odo slowing down now. She beat Izabela Lupulesku 3-0 (8,5,3) and took a whole 13 min 15 seconds

she probably thought that she flew so far for so little game time
so upped it by 5 mins

Almaty will be a tough test in singles depending on the draw. There's a number of high level Chinese players in addition to Miwa that she could face. Odo is doing all the right things to make a case for 3rd player at the LA Olympics. Barring injury, I think Hayata and Miwa are locks for the singles spots. In addition to being strong in singles as she now holds multiple titles this year, she has shown that she's strong in doubles as well. Odo/Yokoi are undefeated in 3 WTT Contender WD in 2024 (Zagreb, Tunis, Lima) and also 2024 Feeder Varazdin. Odo/Yokoi are signed up for Almaty WD as are Double Miyu. It would be great to see that match up, but there are also CNT WD pairs.
