Instead, the experimental pairing of Olympic champion Huang Dong Ping and 21-year-old Feng Yan Zhe tore the script book to send the mixed doubles top seeds out of Denmark Open 2022 in just two games, winning 21-19 23-21.
“It fills me with pride we were able to defeat such an accomplished pair in our first match together,” said Huang. “They were not familiar with our style so they couldn’t find the solutions they were looking for.”
With her Tokyo 2020 winning partner Wang Yi Lyu recovering from injury, Huang has been pairing Feng in training for the three weeks leading up to the European tournaments.
