State of form
Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue remain in the world’s top 5 of the best mixed pairs after the two Chinese pairs, the Thai pair Puavaranukroh/Paewsampran and the recent World champion pair, Chen/Toh, all present in this edition of the end-of-year Masters. The French reached the grand final last month at the Kumamoto Open, in Japan, taking their revenge on the Danes Christiansen/Boje in the quarter-final, a pair who had beaten them twice, whether at the beginning of November in the final of the Hylo Open in Germany or in the quarter-final of the French Open a few months ago. The first French pair to win the mixed title at the world championships, the French reached the semi-final against Chen/Toh and won bronze during the last edition in France. Certainly qualified for the Masters since their last final in Germany, the French will begin their campaign against the Chinese pair Jiang/Wei.
China’s Jiang Zhen Bang and Wei Ya Xin are a young pair on the world circuit who have started working together for a few years now. While they are only 23 and 24 years old, they have been playing on the BWF circuit since 2020 and won the first Super 100 this year. The real breakthrough took place during their first coronation during a Super 750 tournament in 2023 when they dominated the Tang/Tsé pair at the French Open. In this continuity, the Chinese pair continued to shine last year by winning 2 Super 500 (Hong Kong and Australian Open) as well as a Super 750 (Japan) and a Super 1000 (Indonesia). They also finished as finalists in 3 events all classified Super 500 or 750. This year, we owe them 3 titles (1 Super 500 and 2 Super 750) and 4 other finals at a Super 500 level or higher. Finalists of the last World Championships in France, they finished just behind the Malaysian pair. Jiang/Wei advantage on form

Predictions 1-2 of match Gicquel/Delrue Jiang/Wei
The Chinese pair are playing in front of their home crowd and should hold their ground against the French who they have already beaten. However, the handicap seems a little high and our French pair could well annoy them, at least in the first set. Victoire Jiang/Wei
