WTT Champions Frankfurt (October 29, 2023 – November 5, 2023/Germany) On November 3, in the women’s singles quarterfinals, Hina Hayata (23 = Nippon Life Insurance / World No. 4) was defeated by Seci (28 = Romania / World No. 12) 3-2, advancing to the semi-finals.

Hayata has won all of the past four matches, and also won in straight sets in their match in August of this year. He is a good match for Hayata, but he is a formidable opponent who can become uncontrollable if he gains momentum.

However, Hayata immediately counterattacked. In the second game, he made use of his long serve and launched a series of attacks with quick hits and took back the game at 11-7.
In the third game, they had two unlucky nets in a row, allowing their opponent to take the lead at 1-6. Unable to break down both of Seci’s stable hands, the game was tied at 1-2.
They struggled with Seci’s serve and third pitch foredrive and lost the lead in the fourth game, but Hayata came back from 6-9 with an amazing five consecutive wins. The game goes back to a tie at 2-2.
In the fifth and final game, Hayata aggressively attacked his opponent’s back drive with a fore drive. In the end, he attacked the middle ball with his forehand and clinched the victory at 11-9.
