Facing one of the tournament’s top contenders and a former world No. 2, Vietnam’s No. 1 women's singles player started confidently and managed to keep pace early in the first set. However, Chen gradually took control, winning the set 21-10.
The second set saw Chen continue her dominance with powerful and precise shots, eventually sealing the match with a 21-9 victory. The contest lasted just 32 minutes.
