Em-Muk Defeat Yellow Tigers, Advance to Quarterfinals at Yonex German Open 2026 Badminton

Supak Chomko and Oranicha Jongsathapornpan overturned the Yellow Tigers to advance to the quarterfinals at the Yonex German Open 2026 badminton tournament.


The Yonex German Open 2026, a Badminton World Tour Super 300 event with prize money of 250,000 USD (approximately 7.7 million baht), took place from 24 February to 1 March 2026 in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. In the second round, "Em" Supak Chomko and "Muk" Oranicha Jongsathapornpan, the world’s 77th-ranked mixed doubles pair, faced Malaysia’s Jimmy Wong and Lai Pei Jing, ranked 24th globally. The Thai duo had previously edged them 2-1 in the Thailand Masters in January.

"Em" Supak Chomko and "Muk" Oranicha Jongsathapornpan played sharply and confidently, securing a 2-0 game victory with scores of 21-16 and 22-20. In the second game, the Thai pair trailed early and saved four game points while down 16-20 before scoring six consecutive points to clinch a thrilling 22-20 win.

This victory advanced "Em" Supak Chomko and "Muk" Oranicha Jongsathapornpan to the quarterfinals, where they will face Yang Po-Hsuan and Hu Ling Fang, the world’s 31st-ranked pair from Taiwan.
