KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 29 (Bernama) -- National shuttlers Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei stormed into the semi-finals of the 2025 World Badminton Championships in Paris today, ending Malaysia’s nearly two-decade wait for a medal in the mixed doubles event.
The world number four pair had little trouble defeating India’s 17th-ranked Dhruv Kapila-Tanisha Crasto 21-15, 21-13 in the quarter-finals at the Adidas Arena to assure themselves of at least a bronze.
Koo Kien Kiat-Wong Pei Tty had been the only Malaysian mixed doubles pair to win a world championship medal, clinching bronze at the 2006 edition in Madrid.
In the semi-finals, Tang Jie-Ee Wei will face either China’s Cheng Xing-Zhang Chi or France’s Thom Gicquel-Delphine Delrue.
Another Malaysian mixed doubles pair, Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin, bowed out in the quarter-finals after a straight-game defeat, 23-25, 15-21, to world number two Jiang Zhen Bang-Wei Ya Xin of China in 41 minutes.
