Giant-killers Pang Ron-Pei Jing enter semis in Denmark Open
The mixed doubles pair, ranked world No 51, pulled off another upset, beating Japan’s world No 18 Akira Koga-Natsu Saito in straight games.
Malaysian mixed doubles shuttlers Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing advanced to the semi-finals of the Denmark Open after a hard-fought 21-15, 24-22 victory over Japan's Akira Koga-Natsu Saito in just 44 minutes. The 51st-ranked Malaysian duo, who began partnering in June, have now claimed three impressive wins at the tournament. This is the second consecutive World Tour Super 750 semi-final appearance for Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing, who last month finished as runners-up at the China Open.
Their path to the semi-finals will be challenging, as they will face either China's world No 1 pair Feng Yan Zhe-Huang Dong Ping or Taiwan's 7th-ranked Ye Hong Wei-Nicole Gonzales Chan.
