(by Steve Hopkins)

Lily Zhang won her match on Monday to advance to the Round of 16 in Paris.  Her hard-fought win over Bruna Takahashi (World No. 20) was her first time topping the Brazilian star.  The match score was 4-2: 8, 7, -9, -8, 8, 8.

Next up for Lily is Shin Yubin of Korea – World No. 8.  That match is scheduled for later today. There are no easy matches from this point forward as the draw is filled with the World’s best – If Lily wins, she will could face Miu Hirano and then Chen Meng before reaching the Medal Rounds.
