No final, but plenty of pride for Tang Jie-Wen Tse
KUALA LUMPUR: Unseeded Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse can hold their heads high despite bowing out in the mixed doubles semi-finals of the Taiwan Open in Taipei on Saturday (May 10). Tang Jie-Wen Tse, playing together for the first time, were stopped by world No. 22 Jafar Hidayatullah-Felisha Pasaribu, losing 21-11, 21-15 in 38 minutes. Despite the defeat, the Malaysians pulled off several upsets en route to the last four. While Tang Jie is no stranger to reaching the business end of major World Tour events, this marked Wen Tse's best result in a Super 300 tournament. Her previous best was reaching the semi-finals of the non-World Tour Vietnam International Challenge and Vietnam International Series this year with regular partner Wee Yee Hern, currently ranked world No. 174. Tang Jie-Wen Tse's brief partnership will conclude after the Malaysia Masters (May 20-25), as the former will reunite with Toh Ee Wei for the Singapore Open (May 27–June 1). Wen Tse was given the opportunity to pair with Tang Jie by national coach Nova Widianto, following the latter's short-term split from Ee Wei last month. Ee Wei also featured at the Taiwan Open, where she and Loo Bing Kun exited in the quarter-finals on Friday. Both Malaysian pairs face a tough challenge at the Malaysia Masters, which have attracted several top-10 teams. After that, Wen Tse is expected to resume her partnership with Yee Hern, while Bing Kun will likely pair with Cheng Soo Hui or Go Pei Kee.

Tang Jie-Wen Tse smash their way to semis but all others falter in Taiwan
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's hopes of fielding two mixed doubles pairs in the semi-finals of the Taiwan Open were dashed, with only Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse making the cut on Friday (May 9). The seventh seeds Tang Jie-Wen Tse overcame a shaky start before settling into their rhythm to outplay Indonesia's Bobby Setiabudi-Melati Oktavianti 22-20, 21-10 in just 28 minutes at the Taipei Arena. But there was disappointment for Toh Ee Wei-Loo Bing Kun, who failed to capitalise on a strong start against Indonesia's Dejan Ferdinansyah-Siti Fadia. The Malaysians edged their strong opponents in the opening game but could not maintain their momentum, eventually falling 22-20, 17-21, 12-21 in a gruelling 59-minute encounter. As Malaysia's sole representatives in the semi-finals on Saturday, Tang Jie-Wen Tse face a tough task against fourth seeds Jafar Hidayatullah-Felisha Pasaribu. The day had ended in heartbreak earlier for the country's two singles shuttlers, Justin Hoh and K. Letshanaa. Justin, who had impressed in his earlier rounds, found the going tough against home favourite Wang Tzu-Wei and bowed out 13-21, 15-21. Letshanaa's campaign also came to an end at the hands of second seed Sim Yu-jin. Although she fought hard and tried to take the match to a decider, she was unable to outplay Yu-jin and eventually went down 16-21, 21-13, 15-21. RESULTS Quarter-finals (Malaysians only) Men's singles: Wang Tzu-wei (Tpe) bt Justin Hoh 21-13, 21-15. Women's singles: Sim Yu-jin (Kor) bt K. Letshanaa 21-16, 13-21, 21-15.

Nova praises Tang Jie-Wen Tse's instant chemistry in Taiwan
KUALA LUMPUR: Coach Nova Widianto has praised Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse after the new mixed doubles pair stormed into the Taiwan Open semi-finals on their debut outing. The unseeded Malaysians pulled off a convincing 22-20, 21-10 win in just 28 minutes against Indonesia's world No. 74 Bobby Setiabudi-Melati Daeva Oktavianti in Friday's quarter-finals. Tang Jie-Wen Tse had to dig deep in the opening game, trailing 20-18 before turning the tide to snatch it 22-20, and then cruised in the second. The pair, formed on a temporary basis, are only competing in two tournaments together — the ongoing Taiwan Open and the Malaysia Masters (May 20-25). But their fairytale run will be tested in the semi-finals by Indonesia's world No. 22 Jafar Hidayatullah-Felisha Pasaribu. Jafar-Felisha were semi-finalists at last month's Badminton Asia Championships in Ningbo, where they stunned world No. 3 Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai in the last eight. "Tang Jie-Wen Tse have gained confidence with each match after a shaky start. Reaching the semis is a solid result for them," said Nova. Meanwhile, compatriots Loo Bing Kun-Toh Ee Wei put up a brave fight before going down 20-22, 21-17, 21-12 to Indonesia's world No. 65 Dejan Ferdinansyah-Siti Fadia Ramadhanti in the quarters. "Although they lost, Bing Kun-Ee Wei gave a good account of themselves. I'm happy with their performance," added Nova.
