That was because Tang and partner Tse Ying Suet reached the semifinals on debut as a pair at the tournament before losing to eventual winners Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir.
Today at the Hong Kong Coliseum, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games semifinalists have the chance to write a better story for Hong Kong China, which has never produced mixed doubles champions in the competition’s 41-year history.
“Although we have gone one step further this time but for elite athletes, a win is never enough,” said Tang after taking the VICTOR Hong Kong Open 2023 semifinal against Goh Soon Huat/Lai Shevon Jemie 21-12 21-12 in just 34 minutes.
