Then Jiaduo Wu faced Kasumi Ishikawa. Players got the deciding match, where Ishikawa stood victorious by 12:10 too. This time Irene Ivancan, who looked more affected than her team mates by the defeat against Singapore, wasn't part of the line-up this time. Sabine Winter was the chosen one to bring her team back into the game but she couldn't stood victorious over experienced Sayaka Hirano and fell in four straight games.
