[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] Taiwan's "Golden Men's Doubles" Li Yang/Wang Qilin came out of the low tide in the new year. They defeated the Japanese team Yugo Kobayashi/Takuro Hoki yesterday at 21:13 and 21:15 to advance to the Super 1000 Series Malaysia Open In the top 16 of the men's doubles, Li Yang said directly: "I am very happy to have a good start."

Li Yang/Wang Qilin won the gold in the Tokyo Olympics the year before last, reaching the pinnacle of their career in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Lin Yang did not taste the championship again after being paired, and he was almost insulated from the finals. Last year, he fell into a big trough. The best result was the Taipei Open. The runner-up is hard to find for a whole season.

However, in the new year, Lin Yangpei regained his arrogance on the field. Yesterday, it only took 32 minutes to defeat the first seed of the conference, Japan's strongest men's doubles Yugo Kobayashi/Takuro Hoki, and won the ticket to the round of 16.

Li Yang posted on Facebook: "It's been almost two months since the break, and I'm pretty excited to be back on the court. I'm also very happy to have a good start, but every game is a tough one. We will continue to play as challengers. Meet the next challenge and keep going!"

In the round of 16, Lin Yang will face the South Korean combination Seo Seung-jae/Kang Min-hyuk to fight for tickets to the top 8. The two sides have no record of fighting in the past.
