Table tennis mixed doubles world No. 1 pair Shin Yu-bin and Lim Jong-hoon have cruised into the semifinals at the U.S. Smash tournament, which features top-ranked players from around the world.
Shin and Lim faced the German pair they had defeated in the finals of the Slovenia tournament last week.
Once again, they demonstrated their superior skill.
Shin took the first game with attacks that caught their opponents off guard, while Lim secured the second game by unleashing a series of powerful backhand shots.
With their momentum building, Shin and Lim completed a 3-0 sweep in just 19 minutes to easily advance to the semifinals.
Shin also reached the semifinals in the women's doubles, where she teamed up with Jeon Ji-hee to defeat a pair from Taiwan.
Meanwhile, Jang Woo-jin became the only male player to advance to the round of 16 in the singles event.
