Yoo Hae-rin, the daughter of "table tennis legend" coach Yoo Nam-kyu, made a come-from-behind victory over Lulu Masat (9-117-111 11-7 11-6 11-4 11-4 11-5) in the first round of the women's under-19 (U-19) singles in Helsingborg, Sweden, on the 27th (Korea time).

Yoo Hae-rin, the main player in the team's victory, lost the first set 9-11 after a close game and lost the second set 7-11, putting her on the verge of a crisis, but she regained stability from the third set and won four sets down with a bold attack to win the game.

In addition, Heo Ye-rim reached the second round with a 4-2 (10-12 11-9 11-7 11-8 5-11 11-9) come-from-behind victory over Aoba Takahashi of Japan in the round of 32 in the women's under-15 (U-15) Kadet division.

Heo got off to a shaky start by conceding the first set after a close deuce match, but pushed Takahashi to win the third set from the second set. However, due to her negligence for a while in the fifth set, Heo lost 5-11 and allowed pursuit, but ended the sixth set 11-9.
