At DAIHATSU Indonesia Masters 2024 today, the Chinese third seeds defeated Jongkolphan Kititharakul/Rawinda Prajongjai to qualify for their third title match of the nascent season. It was also the world No.6s’ first win over the Thais after four straight defeats dating back to September 2022.
“We used our previous experience of playing this pair to find the right solutions. You can say we learned from those losses,” said Zhang after their 21-12 12-21 21-14 victory. “We tried to overcome the challenges and get the pace and shuttlecock control right.
“We also watched their quarterfinal match (against Li Wen Mei/Liu Xuan Xuan) to pick up on things to prepare for this match.”
