SINGAPORE - There were plenty of thrills and spills at the Seamaster T2 Diamond Singapore on Thursday , as national table tennis players Yu Mengyu and Clarence Chew suffered first round defeats at the US$500,000 tournament.
Yu said:"I never really got into the groove and perhaps when she was leading by such a big margin in the fourth game, she relaxed a little while I continued to play my own game. Chen said:"I was nervous after losing the fourth game, and then the fifth. played very well and put me on the back foot." He won five consecutive points to take the second game and in the fourth game kept pace with his 16-year-old opponent to level at 10-10 before losing.
Harimoto, who last year became the youngest player to win the ITTF World Tour Grand Finals, said:"The key was the fourth game and getting the win - if I had lost that game, it would have been 2-2 and the outcome could have been different."
