Hsieh Pei Shan and Hung En-Tzu were overcome with joy after ending Chinese Taipei’s 17-year wait for a women’s doubles crown at their home tournament, incidentally emulating their high school coach Chien Yu-Chin’s victory from 2008.
Prepared and focused, Hsieh and Hung needed just 43 minutes to dispatch Mizuki Otake/Miyu Takahashi 21-14 21-15 in the YONEX Taipei Open final and bag their first title as a pair. Chien’s own triumph came alongside Cheng Wen-Hsing.
“We are very proud of ourselves. This is such a meaningful achievement, we are over the moon to have made coach Chien proud. We will remember this moment for a long time,” said Hsieh.
