Pakkapon Teeraratsakul and Phataimas Muenwong were crowned champions of the 2024 YONEX Taipei Open on Sunday, overcoming the local duo Yang Po Hsuan and Hu Ling Fang in straight sets.
Despite being the underdogs against their second-seeded opponents, the Thai pair took less than 40 minutes to secure a 21-17, 21-19 victory, making them the first mixed doubles champions from Thailand in the tournament’s history.
This victory also marks the duo’s second title of the season. Currently ranked 28th in the world, Teeraratsakul and Muenwong had previously won another Super 300 event at the US Open in June.
Later, Yang redeemed himself in the men’s doubles final, where he teamed up with Lee Jhe-Huei to defeat compatriots Chiang Chien-Wei and Wu Hsuan-Yi 21-7, 25-23.
