China’s No 1 pair deny Pang Ron-Pei Jing again in French Open

Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing, China's top mixed doubles pair, suffered a loss to Feng Yan Zhe-Huang Dong Ping in the French Open final. This marks the second time the Chinese duo denied the Malaysians their first World Tour title after their defeat in the China Masters final last month. The Malaysian pair, who have only played in nine tournaments since teaming up in May, lost the match 10-21, 13-21 in just 36 minutes.

This is the third consecutive defeat by Feng Yan Zhe-Huang Dong Ping. Pang Ron-Pei Jing had previously finished as runners-up in the China Open and as semi-finalists in the Denmark Open and Macau Open. They also hold the distinction of being the first professional Malaysian mixed doubles pair to reach the French Open final in its 117-year history.
