Tang Jie-Wen Tse advance, Soon Huat-Shevon shrug off fatigue
KUALA LUMPUR: Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse continued their promising run as a temporary partnership after advancing to the Denmark Open mixed doubles second round in Odense today.
Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse continued their strong run in mixed doubles at the Denmark Open, advancing to the second round after defeating Jimmy Wong-Cheng Su Yin and Cheng Su Yin 21-19, 21-16. This victory marks their second consecutive opening-round win on the European tour. Tang Jie, who has been without Toh Ee Wei since her ACL injury in May, has been enjoying her partnership with Wen Tse.
They also performed well at the recent Arctic Open in Finland, defeating Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing and Pei Jing 21-15, 21-14 before losing 21-15, 21-14 to world No. 1 Feng Yan Zhe-Huang Dong Ping.
Meanwhile, Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai, an independent pair, also won their match, defeating American duo Chen Zhi Yi-Francesca Corbett 21-15, 21-13. Despite their easy victory, Shevon admitted that the demanding tournament schedule, following the Asian Games, was taking its toll. "Honestly, it's quite tough because there's no break for us.
The Asian Games and then here, but no excuses. Everyone is going through the same thing, so it's how we need to pace ourselves," Shevon said in post-match remarks. She emphasized the importance of staying injury-free and managing their physical condition, noting that finishing tournaments without injuries is their top priority.
