Pertandingan ‐ Created by TF, WP

Yui Hashimoto has to be forced to bow after being stunned by Ratchanok Intanon at the BCA Indonesia Open Super Series Premier (BIO) 2015 final. She lost in two straight games, 11-21, 10-21 at the sacred Senayan indoor sporting arena, Jakarta, Sunday (7/6).

This BIO 2015 final round is her very first time in Super Series. Her previous best achievement was becoming a semifinalist. The non seeded player is aware of she has no capability in making a good offensive way of playing as she had to make her opponent attack first in which subsequently she responded in counter attack.

"I was exhausted by yesterday performance (semifinal). I played until late. My feet are hard to move,” Hashimoto said after the match. But the Japanese shuttler refuses to give up. The defeat will become her precious lesson to win the forthcoming matches.

When asked about BIO 2015, Hashimoto admitted that this is one of the exciting tournaments for her, especially on her journey to final, she could overcome top players such as Carolina Marin and Wang Yihan.

"This result has become my fuel to gain more self confidence,” she ended.
