At the 2025 WTT Bangkok Youth Challenge, Wu Yingxuan swept Guo Yuxuan to complete the U17 women's singles seal

14-year-old Chinese Taipei teenager Guo Yuxuan ended the surprise journey of the 11-year-old Japanese goddess Misora Matsushima in straight sets in the 2025 WTT Bangkok Youth Challenge U17 Women's Singles Quarterfinals on the evening of the 29th Beijing time, but lost 0:3 to 16-year-old Wu Yingxuan in the "Chinese Taipei Civil War" and finished as runner-up.

Misora Matsushima, who turned 12 in June, is the younger sister of Japan's Teruku Matsushima, and she overcame 1-2 deficits in the round of 32 to defeat 16-year-old South Korean rising star Yoo Ei-yun, who is currently ranked No. 3 in the U17 world, 3-2. In the round of 16, he defeated Lin Wanrong, who was the first in this year's U15 Chinese Taipei team ranking match, 3:1.

Matsushima's U.S. Air Space's top 8 showdown against Chen Xinxin, a left-handed rising star who was selected for both U17 and U19 Chinese Taipei teams this year, also passed 3:2 after 5 rounds of fierce battles and entered the top 4 in one fell swoop.

Guo Yuxuan, who won the third place in the U15 Chinese Taipei team ranking tournament this year, also played a masterpiece, she retired 3:2 in the round of 16 Wu Jiaen, who was selected as a new adult Chinese Taipei team this year, and overcame 0:2 in the round of 8 to overcome the number of rounds behind, and reversed the Japanese teenager Tachikawa Glaze in 3 games in a row.

In the semi-finals against the vigorous Misora Matsushima, Guo Yuxuan sacrificed a unique "forehand slap, backhand bounce" move, which made Matsushima seven meat and eight vegetarians, and won 11:6, 17:15, 11:9 in the final game.

Coach Huang Shengsheng said that although Guo Yuxuan is flat on both sides, it is not a normal curve ball play, but a forehand smash and a backhand bounce, because she is tall enough, and it is difficult for the opponent to guard against it when she slaps it.

However, Guo Yuxuan's unique style of play was not cheap against Wu Yingxuan on the same day, and finally lost 5:11, 7:11, 7:11 in the final, which is also Wu Yingxuan's second championship this year after winning the U19 women's singles championship of the Linz Youth Challenge in January.
