Pang Ron-Pei Jing keep rolling into fifth straight week
KUALA LUMPUR: Five tournaments in as many weeks have yet to slow Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing as the Malaysian mixed doubles pair powered into the Korea Open quarter-finals on Thursday.
Malaysian mixed doubles badminton pair Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing have maintained their impressive streak, reaching the quarter-finals of the Korea Open after winning five tournaments in a row. The world No. 15 team, which includes Pei Jing, has been unstoppable, brushing aside Jin Sung Ik-Lee Seung Hee from South Korea in straight sets to advance to the next round.
Their journey began at the Arctic Open and continued through Denmark, France, Germany, and now Korea, with no losses thus far. They will face China's world No. 2 and top seeds Jiang Zhen Bang-Wei Ya Xin in the semi-finals on Friday, after the Chinese pair defeated Japan's Haruki Kawabe-Kokona Ishikawa 21-11, 21-18.
