State of form
Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue delivered a faultless performance during their quarter-final against the Thai pair Oupthong/Sudjaipraparat, winning their match in straight sets (21-14 22-20). This victory is the third in a row on Japanese courts after beating the world No. 119 pair Liu / Jheng (21-12 21-15) in the first round and knocking out the world No. 12 pair Cheng / Zhang in the round of 16. The French, currently 22nd in the world, inherited a very strong group during the last Olympic Games with 2 pairs in the top 5 in the world, notably Kim/Jeong (n°5) and Zheng/Huang (n°1). They have since reached the quarterfinals of the Denmark Open and the semifinals of the Hylo Open last week at the Super 300 in Germany.
Opposite, the Chinese Fang Hui Chen and Xin Wa Guo are progressing rapidly on the world circuit and have reached the place of 17th world players. The 24-year-old players are part of the best mixed pairs on the circuit, like most Chinese pairs. Easy winners of the masters in Korea last week, the Chinese won in two short sets against Ferdinansyah and Widjaja in their final. They then continued by winning their match against Chiu/Lee (world no. 192) and their quarter-final against Smith/Gai (world no. 254). In the meantime, their quarter-final was hotly contested against world No. 8, Tang Chun/Tsé, whom they ultimately dominated in 3 hard-fought sets. This year, the Chinese pair notably won the Macau and Thailand Opens. Chen/Guo slight advantage on form
