World Table Tennis Championships - Double Success for Singaporean Doubles
Good news are coming along the way as the Qualification Stage comes to an end today. Men Doubles Cai Xiao Li/Pang Xue Jie and Sim Kai Xin Zena/Li Siyun Isabelle both qualified for the Main Draw. Earlier, Zena gained another adminssion ticket to the Main Draw after clinching the Top Position in her group. 

However Pang Xue Jie failed to qualify for the Main Draw after losing out in the Qualification Round. Pang faltered against the more experienced Daniel Artur from Poland. He lost 11-6, 6-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-7.

4 pairs in the Mixed Doubles Event enjoyed success as well. Pang Xue Jie/Sun Bei Bei and Cai Xiao Li/Yu Meng Yu had an easy time against their adversaries. They won with a margin of 4-0 and 4-1 respectively. However Gao Ning/Feng Tianwei as well as Yang Zi/Wang Yue Gu were tested by their opponents. They required the full 7 games to cross the hurdle. Yang/Wang's match is one of the more classic matches today. They were behind their opponents 1-3, before they turn the tables around!

Let wish them all the best in their Singles and Doubles Events which will commence tomorrow.
