Later on Friday, they will face top seeds Doo Hoi Kem/Lee Ho Ching of Hong Kong, China, who withheld huge challenges to see off Spain's Maria Xiao/Canada's Zhang Mo in full games.

Second-seeded Hina Hayata/Mima Ito of Japan set up an encounter with Chen Szu-Yu/Cheng I-Ching of Chinese Taipei in the other semifinal.

Fan and Xu came back from 2-1 down after three games to eliminate home favorites Kristian Karlsson and Mattias Karlsson 9-11, 11-9, 6-11, 11-5, 12-10.

Next up against the Chinese duo will be South Korean paddlers Jang Woojin and Jeoung Youngsik.
