If her composure yesterday in spite of the delay was any indication, then Yeo should be well-placed to handle the challenge.Playing after the earlier matches on their court had been extended, she raced to a 5-0 lead against Haramara in the first game, winning 21-7 in 12 minutes.
Yeo started off the second game on the backfoot, conceding two straight points. But that would be the last time she would let her 92nd-ranked opponent score consecutive points. She quickly regained her rhythm and pulled back to 6-2. Despite Haramara's attempts to stretch out the match, getting to double figures, she could not prevent Yeo from easing to a victory on her Olympic debut."Jia Min was calm and steady and did not show signs of nervousness," he said.Yeo's compatriot, Loh Kean Yew, will also be bidding to progress to the round of 16 when he meets Asian Games champion Jonatan Christie in the final Group G match of the men's singles this evening.
