Christo Popov and Toma Junior Popov are competing at Spain Masters 2021 with a single aim – to leave Huelva as men’s doubles champions on Sunday.

On the opening day of the Super 300 event yesterday, the French brothers faced resistance from Malaysian duo Yee Jun Chang and Chia Weijie but prevailed 22-20 23-21 in 47 minutes.
“It’s never easy to have your first match against Malaysia but we are here to win,” Toma Popov said without flinching following the victory.
“Chang and Chia are very good and put a lot of pressure on us at the front court. We were in defence 70 per cent of the time (but) did a good job."
