Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai gave the home crowd much to cheer about as they overcame Olympic champions Wang Yi Lyu/Huang Dong Ping at the GR TOYOTA GAZOO RACING Thailand Open 2022 after four straight losses.
The world champions continued to show great form at the Impact Arena, where they’d won all three finals in three weeks at the Asian Leg last year. Puavaranukroh and Taerattanachai fell behind in the opening game but recovered to beat the fourth seeds 16-21 21-12 21-16.
The other semifinal was a closer contest, with Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong holding off All England champions Yuta Watanabe/Arisa Higashino 18-21 21-8 23-21.
