The Chinese mixed pair finally found it on Sunday, at SATHIO GROUP Australian Open 2026, defeating compatriots Guo Xin Wa and Chen Fang Hui 21-17 21-19 to reclaim a title they won in 2023.
The victory not only extended Feng and Huang’s perfect record against Guo and Chen to seven matches, it also ended one of their partnership’s longest droughts. Since bagging the Malaysia Open in January, the pair endured an unusually barren stretch, failing to reach the final at five consecutive tournaments and suffering defeats to unseeded opponents at the Singapore and Indonesia Opens.
“Our recent performances haven't been quite ideal. However, it’s worth acknowledging that despite the results, our mindset was adjusted in time during this series of matches,” said Feng.
