In the women's singles competition, Xiao Yaoqian defeated Yuan Jianan, probably because she had a more accurate grasp of the rhythm in the game, and she was able to speed up or slow down the pace of the game in a timely manner according to Yuan Jianan's style of play, thereby disrupting Yuan Jianan's rhythm and finally winning the game.
