In second set, both players had service game till the younger one was up 3-2 then she was able to break Wongteanchai’s serve to further lead 4-2, 5-2. The Thai player still managed to hold her serve and made it to 3-5 and finally Wongteanchai’s backhand return hit the net to end the match as Ysidora Tobing won 6-3.
