Eleven Chinese rising stars to watch at Hangzhou Asian Games

Liang Weikeng/Wang Chang (Badminton)

Just a bit more than one year after the duo paired up, their world ranking rocketed from world number 424 to the current number two after they won the men's doubles final at the China Open last week, 22 years after China's Zhang Jun/Zhang Wei last claimed the men's doubles title at home.

As China's most promising men's doubles duo at the moment, Liang and Wang might have a chance to top the men's doubles ranking in Hangzhou as they are just 138 points shy of leaders Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto of Indonesia.
