Chris, Gabby Adcock become first Britons to reach World Superseries Finals

Husband-and-wife badminton pair Chris and Gabby Adcock have become the first Britons to reach the year-end World Superseries Finals.

The world number seven pairing beat Indonesia's Praveen Jordan and Debby Susanto 21-17, 22-20 in the mixed doubles semi-finals in Dubai.

They will face South Korea's Ko Sung Hyun and Kim Ha Na in Sunday's final.

"The Koreans are definitely an in-form pair right now, and have won a couple Superseries events recently," Chris told reporters.

"However, we are also feeling in good form and shape going into the final and the challenge of Ko and Kim really excites us."

"It wasn't something we were aware of [becoming the first Briton finalists], but it's nice to achieve that."

The pair won gold during the Commonwealth Games at Glasgow 2014.
