Doubles delight for Yoyo Ng at Taipei Open, as Hong Kong badminton player takes mixed and women’s titles
- Ng partners with Reginald Lee to win mixed doubles title, hours later she and Tsang Hiu-yan take women’s title
- Lee hails partner’s performance and says Super 300 win is just the beginning for the pair
Mixed doubles Reginald Lee Chun-hei and Yoyo Ng Tsz-yau won their maiden Super 300 badminton title on Sunday at the Taipei Open, with Lee believing it was just the beginning for their new partnership.
Chun, who was previously ranked sixth in the world with the now-retired Cathy Chau Hoi-wah, said Ng deserved high marks for her performance.
It was a good day all around for Ng, who also won in the women’s doubles alongside Tsang Hiu-yan.
“I did well today, but it was Yoyo who provided her finest performance in the game, whether it was serving, attacking, or defending; she did a good job today,” Lee said.
Lee and Ng dominated their opponents, Ruttanapak Oupthong and Chasinee Korepap of Thailand, winning 21-8, 21-9 in a match that was over in 30 minutes.
“I heard someone in the court saying ‘add oil, Hong Kong squad’ in Cantonese, and some praising us with unending clapping, and I want to thank them for their support in Taipei,” Lee said.
