Malaysia’s Tang Jie-Ee Wei and Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin Reach China Masters 2024 Semifinals
Kuala Lumpur, November 22 (Bernama) – Two Malaysian representatives in the mixed doubles event, Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei and Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin, have made it to the semifinals of the China Masters 2024 tournament in Shenzhen after defeating their respective opponents in contrasting styles.
Tang Jie-Ee Wei’s Resilience Puts Him in Semifinals
The most significant victory was registered by Tang Jie-Ee Wei, who showed a resurgence to come from behind and defeat the home pair Guo Xin Wa-Cheng Fang Hui in the action held at the Shenzhen Gymnasium. In the quarter-finals, the national pair started on a cautious note and lost the first set 14-21 but the second game saw one of the game’s most historic comebacks when the Malaysian duo fought back from the edge of defeat to force the match into a deciding set.
Tang Jie-Ee Wei’s Incredible Comeback
The Chinese pair were leading the second game 20-12, but Tang Jie-Ee Wei put on a remarkable display to tie the score at 20-20, something that has not been witnessed at such a high level of competition in recent times, before winning 23-21. The second set victory seemed to have provided a much-needed tonic to the national pair when they won the decisive set 21-16 to confirm their place in the semifinals.
Tang Jie-Ee Wei’s Tough Hurdle Ahead
Tang Jie-Ee Wei, however, will encounter another tough hurdle in trying to break the monopoly of another Chinese pair from the land of the Great Wall, as they are drawn to meet the tournament’s top seeds and home favourites Feng Yan Zhe-Huang Dong Ping in the semifinals tomorrow.
Other Semifinal Matchup
Meanwhile, Pang Ron-Su Yin, who scored a rather effortless 21-10, 21-16 straight sets victory over Taiwan’s Chen Cheng Kuan-Hsu Yin Hui, will face world number seven pair Tang Chun Man-Tse Ying Suet from Hong Kong in the other semifinal.
