Strong second set

February 25, 2026

Simon Krax/Amelie Lehmann (SV Fun-Ball Dortelweil/TSV Trittau) also missed out on a place in the round of 16, but put in a strong performance against the seventh-seeded Chinese pair Cheng Xing/Zhang Chi, particularly in the second set. The reigning German Mixed Doubles runners-up ultimately lost to the world number 16 pair 12-21, 18:21. “I’m actually quite satisfied. We played much better than we thought we would at the beginning. In any case, it was fun,” said Amelie Lehmann. Simon Krax – the 2025 “Player of the Year” in the adult category – added: “It’s just a bit of a shame that we couldn’t play a third set.”
