It was meant to be a challenge for the top-seeded duo of Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai, but the Denmark Open 2022 had a surprising turn of events. The experimental pairing of Huang Dong Ping and Feng Yan Zhe upset the script and defeated the world number ones in just two games, winning 21-19 23-21.
Huang expressed his pride in their victory, stating, “It fills me with pride we were able to defeat such an accomplished pair in our first match together. They were not familiar with our style, so they couldn’t find the solutions they were looking for.”

Feng, the 2019 world junior champion, was ecstatic after securing the match point and celebrated the victory without any pressure. On the other hand, Taerattanachai, visibly upset with the result, promised to prevent a repeat at the YONEX French Open 2022, where they will once again face Huang and Feng.
Another major upset in the tournament was the defeat of Indonesian third seeds Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan. They lost for the first time in six meetings against Lu Ching Yao and Yang Po Han. Lu admitted that accepting their shortcomings in the previous defeats helped them focus better in the 21-19 21-17 win. Yang added that they were more tactic-focused this time and did not rush their starts, which had been a problem in the past matches. Lu concluded that the opponents also made uncharacteristic mistakes, which worked in their favor.
Next, Yang and Po will be playing against Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto.
