Second collaboration Deus Ex. Lin Yunru and Gao Chengrui won the runner-up in the first time at this year's WTT Singapore Grand Slam, and this World Championships is only their second time together, but they fought their way out of the hardest draw, defeating Liang Jingkun/Huang Youzheng and Lin Shidong/Lin Gaoyuan two groups of Chinese pairs, and yesterday they suppressed the Lebrun brothers all the way to the final.

In the final against this year's Singapore Grand Slam defeated Hayasuke Togami / Shinozuka Daito, Lin Gaopei led 2:1 in the first two games, but lost 5 points in a row in the fourth game at 6, and fell behind all the way to 6:11 in the deciding game, and passed by the Iran Cup, which symbolizes the men's doubles championship.

Coaching: already impeccable. Coach Wang Yize said, "The opponent dares to fight more than us at the critical moment, and they all have a hard time, Togami's backhand is quickly torn, and Shinozuka's forehand backhand backhand is also very high, which does pose a great threat to us." Wang Yize said, "Of course, it will be a pity not to win the gold medal, but we still have to affirm the performance of Yunru and Cheng Rui, after all, they were not set to come here at the beginning, but they are so hard to carry it, although it is a little regrettable, but the process is also very exciting, their performance has been impeccable." ”

Gao Chengrui, who performed well at this year's World Championships, also felt that it was really unthinkable to win the silver medal, he said that when the draw came out, there were two groups of Chinese combinations in their half, and they had to win these two groups in a row to have medals, "so I didn't think too much about it at the beginning, and focused on the game." In the end, Gao Chengrui also felt a little sorry for the gold medal, but he also praised the Japanese pair for playing well, making adjustments for losing to them in the Singapore Grand Slam, and he was also nervous in the final, and he was not as open as the first few games.
