Alexander Dunn/Julie Macpherson pulled off a notable first round upset at YONEX French Open 2025, defeating Lee Jong Min/Chae Yu Jung 14-21 21-12 21-16.
The result was a significant scalp for the Scots. Chae is a 2023 world champion who previously played with Seo Seung Jae, though she and Lee have only been together since March's Orleans Masters and entered unseeded. Chae later in the day announced her shock retirement.
Dunn credited intel from compatriots Adam Pringle/Rachel Andrew, who had faced the Koreans at the World Championships in August, for their result.
