Tin-Tin Ho picked up two good 3-0 wins, including against second seed Natalia Bajor, to move into the last 16 of the Women’s Singles at the WTT Feeder Parma in Italy, where she went out to the 14th seed.

Ho (WR 250) won the first three points to set the tone against Poland’s Bajor (WR 64) and she pulled away to win the first 11-5, but she had more of a battle from then on.

In the second, it was a run of four points from 6-7 which set up an 11-8 scoreline in her favour, while in the third she trailed 8-4 before embarking on a run of five. The match was still not over as Ho saw Bajor save a match point, but she took her second chance.

Ho next played 14th seed Tatiana Kukulkova (WR 121) of Slovakia in the last 16. After losing the first 11-7, Ho won the first eight points of the second, which she took 11-4 to level the match.

However, a run of five points near the start of the third put Kukulkova in charge of that game, and she was never behind in the fourth, taking both games 11-7 to move into the quarter-finals.

Back on the opening day, Ho beat Lee Seojin (WR 407) of South Korea in the round of 64. Ho lost the first four points of the match but then kicked into gear, winning the next five and pulling clear from then on to win the game 11-7.

She was in front for most of the second game but saw Lee save two game points before she took her third chance to seal it 12-10.

It was also 12-10 in the third, though this time Ho saved a game point before taking her chance and ending the match.
