FUZHOU, China, April 23, 2016 – USA’s Philip Dalhausser and

Open.
Dalhausser and Lucena secured
their second gold medal of the season with a 2-0 (21-18, 21-15)

“I played average, but this guy
played great, he was by far the best player out there, he sided
out I think every single ball, it was all him,” said Dalhausser.
Dalhausser/Lucena won the Maceio
Open in their season opening tournament. Silver for Nicolai/Lupo
is their second of the season after the Vitoria Open in March.
The bronze medal went to Spain’s
