In the opening game HAN defeated WANG Yuting in three sets. Natalia PARTYKA was on good way to imrpove the lead of the host side but YANG prevailed against her after five dramatical games.
Talented Bernadette SZOCS streached LI Qian to full distance for Lille`s 2:1 lead. HAN who many times provided two wins to Zamek tonight had no answer for YANG`s play.
