Yushi Tanaka outlasted Kunlavut Vitidsarn in a tight three-game match, winning 21-16, 21-18 after dropping the opener 20-22. Tanaka's aggressive smash game proved decisive, generating 21 winners compared to Vitidsarn's nine, and he built momentum through powerful runs—most notably a six-point surge from 0-4 down to 6-4 in the third game that shifted the match's trajectory.
