Pang Ron-Su Yin have struggled in higher tier competitions since they were combined last November but finally made a timely breakthrough by ousting Taiwan’s Lin Bing-wei-Lin Chih-chun 21-14, 21-15 at the Hong Kong Coliseum in Kowloon yesterday.

A day earlier, the world No. 40 pair stunned Singapore’s world No. 15 Terry Hee-Jessica Tan in their opening match.

Pang Ron-Su Yin only cleared the early rounds once before this year in the Super 300 Orleans Masters where they made it into the last four. Pang Ron was pleased with the breakthrough in Hong Kong and believes he and Su Yin are on the right track.

“Su Yin and I controlled the match better today (yesterday) compared to the first round,” said Pang Ron. “We tried to cut down our mistakes and eventually everything got better for us.

“This has given us a confidence boost. Of course we still have a lot more to improve but at least we know that we are on the right track. Our partnership is getting better day by day.”

Pang Ron-Su Yin though face a tough task in the last eight today against China’s top seeds Feng Yanzhe-Huang Dongping.
