It was a steady fight until the end, but 渡部 did not miss a slight opportunity and fought to a victory.
To both players
Watanabe, who won a hard-fought battle, please carry this momentum forward into the next match.
Takada（高田） fought a balanced match; using this frustration as fuel, they will reach even greater heights.
