Although Zheng Yijing also saved a game point, she was still succeeded by her opponent's forehand diagonal attack and lost another game at 11:13.

In the third game, Zheng Yijing immediately called a timeout after losing 3 points in the beginning. However, after returning to the court, she still could not stop the bleeding and fell into a desperate situation at 3:10. Although she escaped two late match points, she was eventually defeated by her opponent's forehand attack and was defeated at 5:11. After Shin Yubin advances to the top 16, he will face the winner of former world champion Sun Yingsha and French female player C. Rouz.
