SINGAPORE — On Sunday (7 August), they were battling each other for the table tennis women's singles gold. On Monday, Feng Tianwei and Zeng Jian teamed up to land Singapore's fourth gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.

The women's doubles duo comfortably defeated Australia's Jee Minhyung and Lay Jian Fang in straight games, 11-1, 11-8, 11-8 at the National Exhibition Centre to clinch the third table tennis gold for Singapore at the Games in Birmingham.
