On her semi-final, which Chen sealed in 42 minutes, world No. 47 Yu said:"I couldn't really move but I did not want to abandon the match. It is not easy to get here so regardless of the result, I just want to complete the match.
"It is a fact she is the better player. The quality of her shots is on a much higher level and not something I face in regular training. "All I could do was just to hang around but there was no real way for me to get the upper hand. I have done what I can, but I just couldn't keep up. I have no regrets."
Ito had lost 4-0 to China's world No. 3 Sun Yingsha in the other semi-final, but she has already won a mixed doubles gold at Tokyo 2020, partnering Jun Mizutani to beat China's top-ranked pair of Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin 4-3 on Monday. Ito, 20, holds a 7-1 head-to-head record over Yu in singles encounters, the most recent victory coming at the WTT Contender in March, when she won 4-1.
