[Reporter Wu Mengru/Comprehensive Report] In the 2026 Kim Eun Cup Women's Tennis Asia Region Level 2 event, Taiwan, which had completely won World War II, faced Uzbekistan, which also had its second consecutive victory, in the third game. Wan Yitian and Yang Yayi played singles at the first two points. They all won in straight games. Taiwan defeated Uzbekistan 2:0 in advance and ranked first in Group B with a record of 3 wins and 0 losses. It was the first to advance to the promotion round on the 20th and will face Laos, which has lost three consecutive games on the 19th.

In the third doubles match between Taiwan and Uzbekistan, Liang Enshuo suspended the match due to physical discomfort, and Yang Yayi and Wan Yiyan teamed up to attack.

Wan Yiyan's first singles match took only 49 minutes, and she defeated the 18-year-old Nigina Alimova (currently ranked 1526th in WTA doubles) with two 6-0 scores. Yang Yayi was in a tough battle in the second set of the second point singles. She came from behind 2:3 and was served again by her opponent. In the end, she defeated 24-year-old Sevil Yuldasheva 6:3, 6:4. She was rarely cheered with open arms when she won. Yang Yayi said: "Usually I raise my hands to celebrate when I win the last point of the match."

Taiwan and Uzbekistan, located in Central Asia, have met 12 times in the King-En Cup and the predecessor FedEx Cup. Even including today's victory, Taiwan is far ahead of Uzbekistan in terms of 10 wins and 3 losses.
