Yoo is no stranger for Indonesian players, as she had traveled to Jakarta for tourneys. Yoo had some wins and losses against Indonesian players and she just resumed her pro tour last month. She had almost a year hiatus due to injury and she had to pay the price of losing her world ranking as its consequence.
