Giant-killers Pang Ron-Pei Jing charge into China Masters final
The mixed doubles duo silence the home crowd by defeating Zhu Yi Jun-Li Qian in the semi-finals of the World Tour Super 750 championships.
Independent mixed doubles shuttlers Hoo Pang Ron-Lai and Pei Jing have made an impressive run at the China Masters, defeating four higher-ranked pairs en route to their first-ever final. Their journey began just four months after they teamed up as a pair, and they ranked world No 85. In a swift 35-minute match at the Sports Centre Gymnasium in Shenzen, they defeated a 28th-ranked Chinese pair, Zhu Yi Jun-Li Qian, 21-12, 21-10.
This victory marked a significant milestone as it was their first appearance in the final of a World Tour Super 750 championships. They will now face either Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie or China's World No 1 pair, Feng Yanzhe-Huang Dongping, in the final. Should they win, the pair will take home US$87,500 (RM357,000), with runners-up receiving US$42,500 (RM173,400). Semi-finalists will earn US$17,500 (RM71,400).
