Malaysia’s top mixed doubles pair, Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei, will head into the All England Open with renewed confidence, hoping to translate their recent success into a strong showing at one of badminton’s most prestigious tournaments.
Despite their status as world No. 4, the Malaysian duo have yet to make a significant impact at the Super 1000 event. In three previous appearances, their best result has been a second-round exit, highlighting the challenge that awaits them in Birmingham.
A deep run at the All England would represent a major milestone in their partnership. While Chen and Toh have established themselves among the world’s leading pairs, they are still searching for their first Super 750 or Super 1000 title. Strong performances at this level are widely seen as the final step in confirming their place among the sport’s elite.
The pair’s preparations have been boosted by their recent triumph at the Indonesia Masters, which followed early exits at the Malaysia Open and India Open at the start of the season. The victory has restored confidence and underlined their ability to perform in high-pressure situations.
In a bid to maximise their readiness, Chen and Toh also opted to skip the German Open, choosing instead to focus on training and recovery ahead of the All England. The decision reflects a more measured approach to scheduling as they aim to peak for major tournaments.
Toh said consistency, mental strength, and physical condition remain central to their preparation. She stressed the importance of maintaining focus and staying healthy throughout the demanding season.
With momentum on their side and a clear plan in place, Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei will be aiming to overcome past disappointments in Birmingham and take a significant step forward in their pursuit of major international titles.
