First, they defeated two higher-ranked mixed pairs in Ye Hong Wei/Lee Chia Hsin and Supak Jomkoh/Supissara Paewsampran to place themselves among the quarterfinalists.
Today, they qualified for their maiden Super 1000 semifinal by seeing off sixth seeds Dechapol Puavaranukroh/Sapsiree Taerattanachai 21-16 21-19. It was their first win in five meetings against the Thais.
“I still can’t believe what we did. Although we really wanted it, we didn’t expect to progress,” admitted Tan post-match. “Taking the first game worked to our advantage, it put them under pressure as they had to win the second.”
