Pang Ron-Pei Jing set up top-seed showdown in Korea
KUALA LUMPUR: Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing continued their strong momentum at the Korea Open on Thursday, cruising into the mixed doubles quarter-finals in Yeosu.
The world No. 8 brushed aside South Korea's world No. 179 Jin Sung Ik-Lee Seung Hee 21-8, 21-15 in 32 minutes to set up a last-eight showdown against China's top seeds Jiang Zhen Bang-Wei Ya Xin on Friday.
The independent pair have now played 15 matches in just 24 days since the Denmark Open on Oct 13, winning 12 of them despite a relentless schedule that has taken them to five consecutive tournaments, beginning with the Arctic Open.
Pang Ron-Pei Jing, who reached the Denmark Open semi-finals, French Open final and Hylo Open semi-finals in successive weeks, will be hoping to extend their remarkable run against the formidable Chinese pair.
However, it was the end of the road for Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse, who suffered a 21-7, 21-13 defeat to China's world No. 15 and third seeds Cheng Xing-Zhang Chi in 29 minutes.
