The Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong winning machine that had briefly sputtered in the semifinals steadied itself, claiming a sixth successive title -- and 27th overall -- by winning the PERODUA Malaysia Masters 2022. This made them the first mixed doubles pair to win five successive World Tour/Superseries titles.
Zheng and Huang had survived match point in the semifinals against Yang Po-Hsuan/Hu Ling Fang; the Chinese admitted they were tired given the workload they’ve had. Yet, there was no trace of that in Sunday’s final.
Indonesia’s Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari challenged them until 14 in the opening game, after which they fell away, with the Chinese wrapping up their 20th HSBC BWF World Tour title in just 32 minutes.
