The mixed doubles final in Huangshi kicked off with the violent cross-court rallies of the Haichan Sisters, and reached its climax as the Mop Brothers turned on each other. The four of them played with disheveled hair, jumping all over the court, essentially turning a mixed doubles match into men's doubles!
From the very first game, the two sides fought tooth and nail, remaining locked in a stalemate until 9-all, when Sha-Tou claimed the point 12-10. In the second game, Manyu stepped up her attacks repeatedly, executing two high-level shots midway through to finally pull one back 11-7. The third game saw a few too many errors from Sha-Tou, and Yuanman took it 11-7. In the fourth, Sha-Tou fought hard to win 11-6, leveling the overall score at 2-2. In the fifth and sixth games, however, Yuanman showed superior momentum and performance, taking the victory with 11-4 and 11-6, sealing the final match 4-2.
While the scoreline might look ordinary, anyone who watched the match would marvel at the continuous stream of breathtaking, thrilling shots.
