Mixed pairs Chen-Toh, Hoo-Cheng seek confidence boost ahead of Paris biggie
PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttlers Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei and Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin are seeking a much needed confidence boost in the Macau Open which starts tomorrow. The Super 300 Macau tourney will present Tang Jie-Ee Wei and Pang Ron-Su Yin with a last opportunity to win a title before the World Championships from Aug 25-31 in Paris. Both pairs have not captured a title this year and have struggled to produce their best form. World No. 4 Tang Jie-Ee Wei's best result so far this year were semi-final finishes in the Opens in Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Japan while world No. 13 Pang Ron-Su Yin have only made the last eight twice in the Indonesian Masters and Orleans Masters. The former have also faced off-court issues and split at the end of March after a strained relationship before resolving their differences and reuniting less than a month later. Meanwhile, Pang Ron-Su Yin are finding it tougher at the highest level after a breakthrough 2024 and have suffered eight early round exits this year. The pair will be hoping to turn around their form in Macau where they will be seeded third while Tang Jie-Ee Wei will start as the top seeds. Tang Jie-Ee Wei should have no problems getting past Leong Lok Chong-Ng Weng Chi in the first round while Pang Ron-Su Yin have a trickier opening task against Indonesia's Bobby Setiabudi-Melati Daeva. Pang Ron-Su Yin will also be under pressure to at least reproduce their showing last year where they made it into the semi-finals as anything less this time will see them lose ranking points. Both the Malaysian pairs' toughest challengers for the title could be China's second seeds Cheng Xing-Zhang Chi and Indonesia's fourth seeds Rehan Naufal-Gloria Emanuelle. Meanwhile, the other Malaysian mixed pairs hoping to make an impression in the tourney are Wong Tien Ci-Lim Chiew Sien, Jimmy Wong-Lai Pei Jing, Loo Bing Kun-Go Pei Kee, Liew Xun-Ho Lo Ee and Wee Yee Hern-Chan Wen Tse.

Tang Jie-Ee Wei in race against time to overcome weaknesses ahead of world meet
Pushing the limits: Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei in action during their quarter-final match against China's Guo Xinwa and Chen Fanghui. — AFP PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttlers Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei have to raise their game if they hope to win a medal in the World Championships from Aug 25-31 in Paris. With the world meet just a month away, the world No. 4 pair are in a race against time to overcome their shortcomings. Tang Jie-Ee Wei's preparations for the Paris showpiece took a hit after they went down to world No. 9 home pair Guo Xinwa-Chen Fanghui 19-21, 15-21 in the China Open quarter-finals at the Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium in Changzhou yesterday. The Malaysians had never lost to the reigning All-England champions before this, coming out on top in both their previous meetings in the China Masters and Hong Kong Open last year, but could not replicate their past performances and ended up losing in 43 minutes. Tang Jie admitted after the disappointing defeat that he and Ee Wei had work to do ahead of the world meet. 'Today (yesterday), our quality when returning our opponent's serve was not good enough. They got many points due to this. Other than that, we did quite well,' said Tang Jie in a post-match interview with the Badminton World Federation (BWF). 'We also need to learn how to maintain our focus during long rallies. This is very important for us.' Ee Wei said: 'We made a lot of mistakes when we received the shuttle. 'We need to train more and reduce our mistakes. We will go back and discuss with our coach (on what we need to work on).' Overall, Tang Jie-Ee Wei have had a frustrating year after not reaching any finals so far. The duo were stopped in the semi-finals four times in the Opens in Malaysia, India, Indonesia and last week in Japan. Tang Jie-Ee Wei also split at the end of March due to a strained relationship before resolving their differences quickly and reuniting less than a month later. The pair have an opportunity to do better when they compete next in the Macau Open which starts next Tuesday. A good showing in the World Tour Super 300 tourney where Tang Jie-Ee Wei are the top seeds, will boost their confidence ahead of the world meet.
