‘Beep’ Shin Yu-bin (Korean Air) earned a new nickname, ‘Comeback Queen’.

World Table Tennis (WTT) highlighted Shin Yubin, who is participating in the WTT Champions Montpellier 2024, on the 25th (Korean time) under the title ‘Shin Yubin The Comeback Queen’.

WTT said, “The Montpellier competition heated up on the first night of the women’s singles round of 16. Shin Yu-bin pointed out, “After dropping two games to Du Hoi Kem (Hong Kong), they achieved a huge comeback win, 3-2 (9-11 9-11 11-7 11-3 11-9).”

Du Hoi Kem is Shin Yu-bin’s archenemy who has faced him three times in total and won all of them.

The game on this day had a similar trend, but Shin Yu-bin broke the jinx with a thrilling comeback win.

WTT highly praised Shin Yu-bin, saying, “Shin Yu-bin kept cool through ice in a hot environment and continued her remarkable rise through great performance.”

In this tournament, Shin Yu-bin advanced to the quarterfinals with a 3-1 (7-11 11-6 11-7 11-8) win over Joo Cheon-hee (Samsung Life Insurance) and a 3-2 win over Duhoi Chem.

In the semifinals, they will face the winner of the head-to-head match between Miwa Harimoto (Japan) and Adriana Diaz (Cuba).

Seo Hyo-won (Korea Racing Association), Joo Cheon-hee, and Jeon Ji-hee (Mirae Asset Securities), who competed with Shin Yu-bin in the women’s singles, were eliminated in the round of 32.

In the men’s singles, Oh Jun-seong (Mirae Asset Securities) is scheduled to face Lin Shi-dong (China) in the round of 16, while Ahn Jae-hyun, Lim Jong-hoon (Korea Exchange), and Cho Dae-seong (Samsung Life Insurance) lost in the round of 32.
