Tang Jie-Ee Wei fall short but Jimmy-Pei Jing shine in Macau Open semis
Malaysia's Toh Ee Wei and Chen Tang. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star PETALING JAYA: Hopes of an all-Malaysian final in the mixed doubles event at the Macau Open were dashed after top seeds Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei fell in the semi-finals on Saturday (Aug 2). Playing at the Macau East Asian Games Dome, Tang Jie-Ee Wei started brightly against Denmark's Alexandra Boje and Mathias Christiansen, who recently returned to competition after serving a one-year suspension for failing to comply with anti-doping whereabouts requirements. But the Malaysians were unable to maintain their momentum as the match slipped into a decider. After a 54-minute battle, they went down 21-15, 17-21, 11-21. The Danes will face another Malaysian pair Jimmy Wong-Lai Pei Jing in the title match. Earlier, Jimmy-Pei Jing secured their place in the final after overcoming Indonesia's sixth seeds Amri Syahnawi-Nita Marwah 21-18, 21-16. It will be Jimmy and Pei Jing's fourth final of the year, but reaching the final in Macau is considered their biggest feat yet, with the tournament carrying Super 300 status. In the men's doubles, Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King emerged victorious in an all-Malaysian semi-final clash, beating Choong Hon Jian-Muhammad Haikal Nazri 21-13, 21-15. Arif-Roy King will take on the winners of the other semi-final between top seeds Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Isfahani of Indonesia and Taiwan's Lee Fang-chih-Lee Fang-jen.

‘Talk it out with your coach': Ex-Olympian Goh Liu Ying's advice to Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei after on-court tension
KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — National mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei have been advised to continue to communicate openly with their coaches should they face any tension in their collaboration on the court. Former national mixed doubles player Goh Liu Ying said the world number four pair not only needs to communicate with each other, but should discuss more in depth with their coaches to ensure they are on the same track and goal. 'Each player will see each other's weaknesses because each wants to improve. 'There may be players who feel like using this tactic but their partner wants to use another strategy. I think that situation (doubles) is very common. So, the role of the coach here is very important, they have to discuss so that they can achieve the same goal,' she said when met recently. In March, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) announced that Tang Jie-Ee Wei were separated to give the coach room to try a new combination following tension in their relationship. Following that, the two of them got new partners, with Ee Wei pairing Loo Bing Kun while Tang Jie paired with Chan Wen Tse in the 2025 Taiwan Open as their first test. However, in April, BAM announced that Tang Jie-Ee Wei were paired again following a request from both players and the result of comprehensive discussions between the coaching team and the players. The 2025 Sudirman Cup in Xiamen, China was the first stage for them to pair up again to successfully help the national squad advance to the quarter-finals. Liu Ying said that any disagreement that arose was a bittersweet moment that any pair had to go through and she also faced the same situation with his partner Chan Peng Soon once before. 'We quarrelled too much. All pairs quarrel but the purpose of the quarrel was the same because each wanted to win,' she said. Liu Ying and Peng Soon once made history by becoming the first mixed doubles representatives from the country to win a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. — Bernama
