Shin Yu-bin will face Hina Hayata (world No. 5) in the women's singles bronze medal match at the Paris Olympics held at Arena 6 in South Paris, France at 1:30 p.m. on the 3rd (Korea time).
It is a match between Korea and Japan that puts the pride of Shin Yu-bin, who lost 0-4 to Chen Meng in the semifinals, and Hayata, who lost 0-4 to Sun Ying-sha. Shin Yu-bin's all-time record with Hayatawa was defeated in four games. Including the Japanese professional league, it has lost all five games. They lost 2:4 in the round of 64 at the 2019 Czech Open, 1-0 in the final of the 2021 Doha Asian Championships, and 0-3 in the team event at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year. However, in the most recent Macau World Cup round of 16, he lost 3-4 after a close game of full-game deuce, showing a different appearance from the past. Shin Yu-bin said of Hayata "He is a very good player. Everyone knows it and I know it. Still, if we analyze the opponent's weaknesses well and prepare well, we will be able to play well,' he expressed confidence.
