KUALA LUMPUR: Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing's remarkable late-season resurgence showed no signs of slowing as they advanced to their third consecutive semi-final on the European swing at the Hylo Open in Saarbrucken, Germany, on Friday.
The world No. 24 continued their impressive run by overcoming Hong Kong's seventh seeds Chan Yin Chak-Ng Tsz Yau 21-17, 21-17 in 31 minutes at the Saarlandhalle.
The victory extended their fine run of form, having reached the Denmark Open semi-finals and French Open final over the previous two weeks.
It also underlined the growing consistency of the independent pair, who have emerged as one of Malaysia's most encouraging performers on the World Tour in recent months.
