KUALA LUMPUR: Mixed doubles team Hoo Pang Ron and Lai Pei Jing advanced to their second Super 750 final this season at the French Open on Saturday. The world No. 31 duo defeated China's world No. 6 pair Guo Xin Wa and Chen Fang Hui 21-13, 21-9 in just 31 minutes at Arena Grand Paris. Earlier, they reached the runners-up position at the China Masters and made it to the semi-finals of last week's Denmark Open.

Pang Ron expressed his satisfaction with the team's consistency, noting this is the first time they have reached back-to-back semi-finals and another final. He hopes to perform even better in the upcoming final. Pang Ron credited the team's better conditioning for their victory over the sixth-seeded Chinese pair, stating that they took advantage of their improved performance and put pressure on their opponents.

Pei Jing added that maintaining focus and reducing errors helped them control the match. The pair's success has also provided encouragement for their careers as independent players, and they are thankful for the support from their sponsors. Pang Ron–Pei Jing will now face either China's world No. 1 Feng Yan Zhe and Huang Dong Ping or France's world No. 4 Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue in the final tomorrow.
