LONDON, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Mar, 2023 ) :China's Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping suffered their first loss this season as they failed to reach the mixed doubles second round of the All England Badminton Open in Birmingham on Wednesday.
Feng and Huang, who only teamed up at the end of last year, had been unstoppable as they clinched the titles of the Indonesia Masters, Thailand Masters and German Open in a row. But the Chinese pair's winning streak was snapped unexpectedly by Ye Hong-wei and Lee Chia-hsin of Chinese Taipei, who advanced into the second round 21-15, 21-16.
Huang, 28, clinched the Olympic title with Wang Yilyu in Tokyo. With Wang struggling with injury and trying to recover his form, 22-year-old Feng was paired up with the seasoned Huang.
In the men's singles, Japanese veteran Kento Momota was beaten by Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand 23-21, 21-15.
Two-time world champion Momota said he had given it all in the match, but the 21-year-old Thai pushed himself forward in the 61-minute encounter.
