Chinas Untouchable Duo?

Undisputedly the favourites are Chinas world number one pairing of Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha. Unconquered outside their home nation for over four years and boasting a staggering four WTT Series titles in 2024 alone, their dominance is undeniable. With just six losses in their combined career, they are on a mission to reclaim the Mixed Doubles gold that eluded them in Tokyo. Can they rewrite history and deliver Chinas first ever Olympic title in this event?

Can Korea Republic Challenge?

Standing in their way is the Korean Republics potent pairing of Lim Jonghoon and Shin Yubin. Ranked third in the world, they possess all the credentials of a podium-worthy duo, with three WTT Series titles to their name this season. However, their head-to-head record against the Chinese juggernauts paints a different picture. A 0-4 deficit, including a recent defeat at the Singapore Smash 2024, suggests theyll need a monumental performance to overcome the odds. Will the Olympic spotlight inspire them to finally crack the Wang-Sun code?

Experience vs. Underdogs

The other semifinal promises a fascinating clash of styles. Hong Kong, Chinas seasoned pair of Wong Chun Ting and Doo Hoi Kem, arrive battle-tested, having reached two WTT Series finals in 2024. Their experience and recent form make them a serious threat.

Across the net, a team of giant-slayers awaits. Kim Kum Yong and Ri Jong Sik from DPR Korea have defied expectations throughout the tournament. In just their second international outing together, following a successful qualifying run, theyve already toppled the high-profile Japanese duo of Hina Hayata and Tomokazu Harimoto. Can they continue their dream journey and upset another powerhouse team?

A Thrilling Showdown Awaits

The stage is set for a sensational climax to the Mixed Doubles competition. Established powerhouses meet determined challengers, while an Olympic newcomer pair seeks to extend their fairytale run. Paris vibrates with anticipation as the first serve of the semifinals approaches. With Wang and Sun seeking redemption, the DPRK duo aiming for a historic upset, and lightning-fast action guaranteed, the Mixed Doubles event promises an unforgettable spectacle.

Dont miss a moment of the action! With the semifinals starting from 16:00 (GMT+2), visit ITTF.com for updates as it unfolds.
