Chinese Taipei men’s tandem Lee Fang-Chih/Lee Fang-Jen, 25, advanced after seeing off Americans Enrico Asuncion/Adrian King-sun Mar 21-16 21-10 while the 23-year-old Xu sisters – Annie and Kerry – defeated compatriots Francesca Corbett/Allison Lee 21-16 19-21 21-10.
The quartet later got together for a group photo and expressed their thoughts on sharing the YONEX US Open 2023 last eight stage with another pair of identical twins.
Kerry said: “When we saw them and the Grimley brothers (of Scotland), we were like ‘okay we aren’t the only pair of twins here!’”
