KUALA LUMPUR: Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun credited an underdog mindset for carrying them to their first Super 750 French Open title on Sunday.

World No. 11 Wei Chong-Kai Wun rallied from a game down at Arena Grand Paris to beat world No. 5 compatriots Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani 13-21, 21-15, 21-7 in the final, earning US$70,300 (RM287,035).

"We did not think about winning or losing because we were the underdogs. We just wanted to play our best and try to get every point," said Wei Chong after the final.

Kai Wun said focusing solely on each match helped them stay composed despite recurring issues with their form.
