Ho and Green to face Hursey and Haug in all-British final

WTT Feeder Düsseldorf 2026 in Düsseldorf produced a medal milestone as Connor Green and Tin‑Tin Ho reached the mixed doubles final, surviving a 5‑game semi against Samuel Arpas and Barbora Varady 3-2 (11-6, 11-8, 13-15, 8-11, 12-10). The pairing will meet Anna Hursey and Borgar Haug in the final, a result Tabletennisengland described as setting up a final that “set up a final with a guaranteed gold for the GB pathway.”

Green and Ho’s run to the title match was built on three strong wins. In the Round of 16 they edged Ricardo Walther and Ying Han (GER) 3-2 (17-15, 9-11, 11-3, 9-11, 11-5), then produced a clean 3-0 quarter-final victory over Ivan Hencl and Dora Cosic (CRO) with scores of 11-8, 13-11, 11-7. Their semi against Slovakia’s Samuel Arpas and Barbora Varady went the distance, the decisive game finishing 12-10 to seal the 3-2 success.

Hursey and Haug’s path came from the bottom half of the draw and included an upset of the second seeds. In the first round they beat Nandan Naresh (USA) and Sophia Klee (GER), then accounted for Maciek Kubik and Natalia Bajor (POL) in the quarters. Their semi was a 3-1 win over Canada’s Edward Ly and Mo Zhang, the victory explicitly reported as the result that “set up a final with a guaranteed gold for the GB pathway.” The mixed final will therefore feature Green and Ho (GB) against Anna Hursey (WAL) and Borgar Haug (NOR); one public account described the matchup as “an all-British final,” though WTT and Tabletennisengland list Haug as Norwegian.

Tin‑Tin Ho and Anna Hursey also made noise in the women’s doubles, seeded four and reaching the semi-finals. Ho and Hursey survived a five‑game Round of 16 with Koharu Itagaki and Lisa Wang (GER) 3-2 (11-3, 8-11, 11-4, 5-11, 11-9), then swept Giulia Takahashi and Karina Shiray (BRA) 3-0 in the quarters, including an 11-0 second game (11-8, 11-0, 11-5). Their run ended in the semis when Chien Tung‑Chuan and Li Yu‑Jhun (TPE) beat them 3-1 (11-8, 12-10, 6-11, 11-2).

Other results of note in Düsseldorf include Veronika Matiunina and Anastasiya Dymytrenko (UKR) beating Wong and Silcock 3-0 (11-9, 11-4, 11-9) in the Round of 16. Sam Walker produced a notable comeback to reach the men’s singles last 16 and, according to event copy, “had a great comeback win to reach the Men’s Singles last 16” and “secures a tough win to face top seed,” though the opponent and score were not listed in the supplied match summaries.
