Hong Kong\u2019s Wong Chun-ting and Doo Hoi-kem finally ended their mixed doubles title drought at the WTT Star Contender Doha event on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The pair have one of the sport\u2019s longest running partnerships, combining forces for the first time well over a decade ago, and that vast experience made the difference in a 3-1 win over South Korean pair Park Gang-hyeon and Kim Na-yeong.<\/p>\n

There was more success for Macau\u2019s Zhu Yuling too, who grabbed her second successive women\u2019s individual gold in Qatar, after winning the WTT Champions event there earlier this month.<\/p>\n

And in an all-Chinese match-up in the men\u2019s singles final, Zhou Qihao got the better of 19-year-old Wen Ruibo, who beat second seed Hugo Calderano of Brazil in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

Wong and Doo struggled early, but recovered in game two and punished Park and Kim for their failure to take advantage of being 9-7 up in the third. Wong and Doo eventually won 9-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-5.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played relatively smoothly in the mixed doubles this time, but honestly, every match was tough,\u201d Wong said. \u201cWe lost the first game in the final because we were a bit too anxious at the start. Only when we settled down later did I feel confident that we could pull through.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hong Kong\u2019s Wong Chun-ting and Doo Hoi-kem finally ended their mixed doubles title drought at the WTT Star…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245965,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1083,1657,1809,78915,131878,3448,131875,85,46,1437,131877,26484,131876,1823,125607,105,131879,78916,131874],"class_list":["post-245964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-brazil","tag-china","tag-doha","tag-doo-hoi-kem","tag-hitomi-sato","tag-hong-kong","tag-hugo-calderano","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-japan","tag-kim-na-yeong","tag-macau","tag-park-gang-hyeon","tag-qatar","tag-south-korean","tag-sports","tag-wen-ruibo","tag-wong-chun-ting","tag-zhu-yuling"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245965"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
