Hong Kong Open: Blessed Restart for Lamsfuss/Lohau
It’s been 11 months since Mark Lamsfuss and Isabel Lohau made the quarterfinals on the HSBC BWF World Tour that the Germans had forgotten the tournament they did it at.

That was in October last year, at the Super 750 French Open, where their run was halted in the semis by eventual winners Zheng Si Wei/Huang Ya Qiong.
At the VICTOR Hong Kong Open 2023 today, Lamsfuss/Lohau hauled themselves back into the quarterfinals with a 21-19 21-18 straight games victory over Indonesians Adnan Maulana/Nita Violina Marwah.
“It’s a big relief (to end the wait). We’ve had a lot of ups and downs but the last one was quite long. I was struggling, body wise, but mentally as well,” admitted Lamsfuss.
