Japan's two pairs of women's doubles have joined hands to reach the quarterfinals of the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships in Doha and will face off against South Korea

On May 21, local time, the 2025 Doha World Table Tennis Championships ushered in the fifth day of the competition. In a match in the third round of Women's Doubles, Japan's Satsuki Oto/Sakura Yokoi take on Croatia's Matteja Jeje/Rhea Rakobac. In the first game, the Japanese pair were tormented by Rakobac's catch, but the Oto/Yokoi pair, who had a stronger ability to grasp the key points, took the lead 12-10.

In the second game, Oto/Yokoi also made a late push to deny the hope of a comeback for the Jayje/Rakobac pair. In the third game, the Oto/Yokoi combination completely dominated and played a single game with a score of 11-0. At this point, the Oto/Yokoi combination swept the opponent and entered the top 8.

The other Japanese Women's Doubles pair will face India's Yasha Sweeni Goldard/Dia Chitale. From the beginning of the first game, it can be seen that the Japanese pair was tormented by the heterogeneous rubber of the Indian pair, but the Japanese pair connected the ball faster and took the next game.

In the 2nd and 3rd games, the scores of the game were once tight, but the Zhang Ben/Kihara combination, who grasped the opportunity stronger, went down two more cities in one go and swept the opponent to advance. They reached the quarter-finals with Oto/Yokoi. According to the Women's Doubles draw, Oto/Yokoi and Jang Moto/Kihara will both compete for a medal against the Korean pair in their next match. This is due to the fact that there is no bronze medal competition at this World Table Tennis Championships, and reaching the semi-finals means that at least the bronze medal is guaranteed.

On the 22nd local time, two matches in the quarterfinals of the men's and women's doubles of this World Table Tennis Championships will be held.
