In doing so, they created history by becoming the first mixed pair from Hong Kong China to reach a French Open final. The tandem ousted several top pairs along the way, including Denmark Open winners Feng Yan Zhe/Huang Dong Ping and Goh Soon Huat/Lai Shevon Jemie.
“This is unforgettable,” Tse said. “We've surprised ourselves with our form this week.”
Close at 18-18 in the first game and 19-19 in the second, Tang/Tse stayed composed to secure their win in straight games.
