Tang Jie-Clarissa through to Korea Masters quarter-finals
This is the first time they have reached the quarter-finals in the four tournaments they have played since being paired up last month.
Malaysian mixed doubles badminton pair Chen Tang Jie-Clarissa San have reached the quarter-finals of the prestigious Korea Masters, marking a significant achievement for the duo who only began competing together last month. Their advancement comes after a hard-fought victory against Taiwan's Wu Hsuan Yi-Yang Chu Yun, securing a 21-12, 13-21, 21-11 win in just 41 minutes at Yi Sun-sin Gymnasium in Asan, South Korea.
The Malaysian players will face off against either Japan's Haruki Kawabe-Kokona Ishikawa or South Korea's Lee Sang Won-Lee Hye Won in the next round of the World Tour Super 300 championship tournament. Prior to this tournament, Tang Jie-Clarissa had reached the last-16 twice and were defeated in the first round once in their previous three World Tour appearances.
The pairing was formed after Tang Jie's regular partner, Toh Ee Wei, had to withdraw due to knee surgery.
