2024 WTT Finals: World No. 1 Wang Advances Into Singles Final, China Secures Women's Title
Teenager Lin displayed excellent form in the first two games, capitalising on Harimoto's inconsistent serves to score multiple points on the counterattack, quickly taking a 2-0 lead with scores of 11-6 and 11-3. Trailing behind, Harimoto adjusted his strategy, incorporating more forehand play and varied shot placement to level the match. Each player then claimed another game, leading to a decisive seventh game, reports Xinhua.
In the final game, the two traded leads, reaching a 9-9 tie. Lin earned a match point at 10-9 but failed to capitalize, allowing Harimoto to rally and win three consecutive points, sealing the match 12-10 and advancing with a 4-3 victory. "Trailing 0-2, I tried to rely more on forehand shots and adjusted my tactics. I brought everything I had, my skills, and my strategies into this match. This was probably the most intense game I've ever played; I feel like I've used up all my mental and physical energy. It's exhausting!" Harimoto remarked post-match.
