Chinese Super Pair are the Ones to Target

Since January 2022, Chinese pairing, Zheng Si Wei and Huang Ya Qiong have won 11 World Tour titles as well as the World Tour Finals and the World Championships. For the last couple of years, almost everything they have touched has turned into gold, and they are now going for their fourth World Championship title. At most finals, the Chinese pair are up against Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino from Japan. This tandem are fast on court and possess great defensive and deceptive skills. In 2021 Watanabe won All England in both the mixed doubles and the men´s doubles categories becoming the first player in over 19 years to do so. Watanabe and Higashino are strong and have been knocking on the door of opportunity to win their first World Championship title. Fighting for their second gold medal are Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai from Thailand. This duo have a collection of big titles on their CV, including the Japan Open 2022, Malaysia Master 2023 and the Singapore Open 2022. They made history for Thailand winning the World Tour Finals 2020. Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion, Huang Dong Ping is certainly one to keep an eye on. Since pairing with Feng Yan Zhe in October 2022, the dynamic duo have gone on to win the Indonesia Masters, Thailand Masters and the German Open. Their mission? Nothing less than a podium finish.
