Zheng Si Wei and Huang Ya Qiong have been on fire since coming together once again after a brief outing with other partners – the PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2022 was their fifth title in a row. So why exactly did the two-time world champions start out with other partners at the beginning of the season?
“We tried different tactics with different partners, which helped us understand our own strengths, so when we got together once again we could use these strengths to get better as a partnership,” said Huang.
So comprehensive has their dominance been that in their last three title wins, they dropped just two games. In Malaysia, the only pair to pose a threat was the French duo Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue, but the Chinese weathered that challenge in straight games too. Yet, they are cautious against taking their supremacy for granted.
