The first mixed doubles match was the debut of the Chinese pair Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong in this Sudirman Cup. Facing the husband and wife pair of Xu Yongkai/Chen Weihan, the "IELTS combination" in the first game was a little slow and hot, allowing the opponent to take a 20:18 lead to get the set point.

In the second game, the Singapore combination clung to the score, and Zheng Siwei/Wong Yaqiong won the match 4:21.
