The Thai duo became the first non-Chinese players to win the mixed doubles crown at the China Masters since its inception in 2005, reports the Bangkok Post.
The world No.4 pair took just 35 minutes to defeat world champions Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei of Malaysia 21-8, 21-17 to win the Super 750 event – their fourth title of the year and sixth overall.
It was the Thais’ third straight win against Chen and Toh and they now lead their head-to-head record 4-1.
Dechapol and Supissara’s other three wins this year included the Malaysia Open (Super 1000), the Thailand Masters (Super 300) and the Singapore Open (Super 750).
The duo began their partnership in October last year. They won the Kumamoto Masters Japan (Super 500) and the Syed Modi India International (Super 300) in 2024.
Meanwhile women’s world No.1 An Se-Young remained unstoppable as she retained her singles title in Shenzhen.
The Korean top seed stormed past second seed Han Yue of China 21-11, 21-3 in 33 minutes for her seventh win of the year.
In a rematch since Han had retired with injury during their last encounter in the China Open semi-final, An proved too strong for the Chinese as she made it seven wins out of seven finals this season.
Weng Hongyang became the tournament’s first Chinese men’s singles winner in the World Tour era after he defeated Lin Chun-yi of Taiwan 21-11, 21-15 in a battle between two unseeded players.
His victory followed the success of Jia Yifan and Zhang Shuxian in the women’s doubles decider earlier in the day.
The Chinese third seeds Jia and Zhang edged past fourth seeds Kim Hye-Jeong and Kong Hee-Yong of South Korea 21-19, 16-21, 21-13 for their third title of the year.
Top seeds Kim Won-Ho and Seo Seung-Jae of South Korea stormed past eighth seeds Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty of India 21-19, 21-15 in the men’s doubles title showdown.
