Thailand's Intanon star

World No. 11 Intanon has been in the first round of the Thailand Masters, Orleans Masters and All England Open after the Indonesia Masters this season, but after a one-month break, she reached the quarterfinals of the women's singles at her home Thailand Open last week, and lost to Japan's 18-year-old rising star Yuka Miyazaki.

Intanon won two straight titles at the Malaysia Masters in 2018 and '19 and became the first player in the tournament history to win back-to-back Women's Singles titles, but this year's Intanon is looking to return to glory with a straight-set win over Malaysia's Goh Jin Wei in the first round.

Intanon entered the first game of the day very quickly, and it was difficult for the world No. 67 Hong Yiting to contend with, Intanon also mastered the whole situation in the second game, and it took 43 minutes to win the victory, and tomorrow the top 8 will meet the world No. 21 Chinese Canadian player Li Wenshan.
