MD - Quarter final - England took on Asia

Every year’s men’s doubles satisfy the audience with the splendid matches. It is definitely not an exception in 2022. Some surprises were announced earlier but one thing is for sure: only the best are still standing.

HOKI/KOBAYASHI outed by RANKIRE/ SHETTY

The Indians held a light upper-hand over their Japanese opponents. The first set was already nerve racking between these two pairs. The tall Indian players made a good use of their heights to push their rivals backwards. The Nipon fighters did a good job defending their territory but still lost the first one 21/23. It may not be their time at this year’s French Open , after another tough set, the number one seed was eliminated by their Indian challengers at 18/21!

English whirlwind LANE/VENDY against Chinese storm LIANG/ WANG

It’s the new record for the British at the French Open: they beat the Chinese opponents 25/23, 21/10. Very tough first game. Both pairs tested on each other for more potential chances to break through. LANE/VENDY ’ progress was so obvious: they were constructing an unbreakable bastion. The Chinese played a good first game but they did not manage to find their way through. First head-to-head win for the English, hope to see more good performance tomorrow.
