Chris and Gabrielle Adcock Secure Semifinal Spot at BWF Destination Dubai World Superseries Finals
Chris and Gabrielle Adcock, the talented badminton duo from England, have managed to secure a place in the Mixed Doubles semifinals at the BWF Destination Dubai World Superseries Finals. Despite losing their first two matches in Group A, the Adcocks were able to secure a last-gasp entry by winning their final match against Germany’s Michael Fuchs and Birgit Michels in straight games. Additionally, they needed the Chinese pair Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei to beat Korea’s Ko Sung Hyun and Kim Ha Na in straight games. Luckily, both of these possibilities became a reality, and to add to the irony, the Adcocks will be facing their saviours, Zhang and Zhao, in the semifinals.
