Rio Olympics 2016, Tennis: Five women’s doubles teams who can win medals

Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic

#5 Chan Yung-jan and Chan Hao-ching (Chinese Taipei)

Chan Yung-jan and Chan Hao-ching

Yung-jan rank: 6, Hao-ching rank: 6

Another pair of sisters who can make an impact at the Rio Games is Chinese Taipei’s Chan Hao-ching and Chan Yung-jan. Last year was one of the best seasons of their career where they won three titles and reached four more finals one of which was the Australian Open.

The Chans were the last team to inflict a defeat on the numero uno pair of Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis before they went on build a 41-match winning streak. With their fighting spirit and variety, the 26-year-old Yung-jan and her 22-year-old younger sister Hao-ching can be a dangerous duo.

After two titles on the hardcourts of Kaohsiung and Doha in February, they lost steam a bit but managed to regroup themselves on the grasscourts of Eastbourne where they made it to the summit clash. And that just might brighten their chances as they embark on their Olympic journey.
