HK shuttlers Jordan Tang and Tse Ying-suet crowned mixed doubles champions in German Open

Hong Kong badminton pair Jordan Tang Chun-man and Tse Ying-suet won the BWF Super 300 mixed doubles event at badminton's German Open held in Mülheim, Germany, on Sunday. 

The pair - ranked eighth in the world for mixed doubles - booked their ticket to the finals after defeating representatives from India, Germany, Malaysia, and the Netherlands.

They faced off with the second-seeded Korean duo in the final, going up against Kim Won Ho and Jeong Na Eun, for the fourth time in their careers.

The Hong Kong team began the first set exceptionally and was leading from the first point, winning the set with a score of 21-13.

The Korean duo attempted to turn the tide in the second set, catching up and leveling the score at 18-18 at one point.

But the Hong Kong shuttlers were able to withstand the pressure, and Kim mistakenly struck the shuttlecock into the net and handed Hong Kong the victory with a score of 21-19.

The duo, who defeated the Korean duo for their first BWF World Tour win since the 2023 Hylo Open in Germany last November, will set their sights on the French Open held in Paris.
