KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore's paddlers Feng Tianwei and Wang Yuegu advanced to the semi-finals of the 2008 Volkswagen Women's World Cup competition in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
Feng defeated world number two Guo Yue from China 4-1 in the quarter-finals, winning the match 11-9, 11-6, 7-11, 11-6, 11-9. Feng will play Hong Kong's Tie Yana in the semi-finals on Monday.
In another quarter-final match, Wang beat US paddler Gao Jun 4-2. Wang won the match 11-5, 8-11, 11-3, 11-13, 15-13, 11-7.
