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 and Pei Jing advanced to the semi-finals of the Denmark Open after defeating Japanese pair Akira Koga and Natsu Saito in a thrilling 21-15, 24-22 match lasting just 44 minutes. The 51st-ranked Malaysian duo, who began competing together in June, have already claimed three impressive victories against higher-ranked opponents.
This second semi-final appearance for the pair comes after a second-place finish at the China Open last month. In their semi-final matchup, they will likely 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, setting the stage for a challenging quarter-final round.
