Babsi Hansel and Steffi Schwaiger are really on a roll in China. Just like in Xiamen, they beat the World Championship silver medalists of 2013 Borger/Büthe (GER). This time, they win in straight sets 24-22, 21-16.
Their opponents in the quarterfinals are Laboureur/Sude (GER). There, unfortunately, the tournament is over for the Austrians. The Germans win 2-0 (13-18). However, ranking fifth Babsi and Steffi move one step closer to the Main Draw at the next tournament.
