“I’m excited to return to Singapore to compete in this year’s HSBC Women’s World Championship and I am very grateful to HSBC for this invite,” she said in a statement.
“It is such a great event in one of my favorite cities with a world class field gathered so I am looking forward to what will be a fantastic week. I have been working hard on my game and am feeling refreshed after the Christmas break so can’t wait to return to Sentosa,” she added.
On the other side of the field, 19-year-old He of China said receiving the invitation to play at the World Championship was like a dream come true, as she had the opportunity to compete against the best players in the world. He was excited to compete alongside her childhood idol the former world number one Feng Shanshan.
