Chen Po-yi wins bronze in men’s soft tennis singles
Taiwanese soft tennis player Chen Po-yi yesterday put up a good fight against defending champion Toshiki Uematsu of Japan in the men’s singles semi-finals before losing 4-2 at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
With bronze awarded to both losing semi-finalists, Chen secured his second medal of this year’s Asian Games following a silver in the men’s team event.
The 23-year-old Chen told Taiwanese media he considered himself lucky to win two of the singles semi-final’s six games, calling Uematsu, winner of three golds at the 2022 Asian Games, “the final boss” of soft tennis.
