Margot Lambert/Anne Tran proved at the DAIHATSU YONEX Japan Open 2022 in August that they are to be taken seriously in women's doubles after almost edging out two-time world champions Wakana Nagahara/Mayu Matsumoto on home turf.
The French world No.29 tandem demonstrated a deadly combination of attack and speed to take the second game after a close opener. Pushing the Japanese duo for 75 minutes bolstered the confidence of a duo that believe they have what it takes to battle the top pairs.
“It puts us on a good path for upcoming tournaments and for our level too,” said the 26-year-old Tran. “When we won the second game, my thought process was 'we can absolutely do this'. I went into the match with the same mentality. It's all about belief.”
