All-England: 3 things about the Malaysian contingent participation

Lee’s popularity rose after he clinched his biggest career title when he beat Viktor Axelsen to capture the men’s singles crown back in 2021.

The final was an epic duel between both shuttlers who were on top of their game, with Lee edging out the first game 30-29, before Axelsen levelled at 22-20.

Lee secured the deciding game 21-9 to end Malaysia’s four-year wait since Lee Chong Wei last won it in 2017. This year, Lee will lead the men’s singles challenge with Leong Jun Hao.

Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik will firmly believe that this Super 1000 title are due to have their names on it, sooner or later.

They are two-time finalists looking to end the All-England wait for silverware.

The world number five pair lost to Muhammad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan in the 2019 final, and fell to another Indonesian pair Fajar Alfian-Rian Ardianto in last year’s affair.

Chia is racing to overcome a wrist injury ahead of this week’s action. If he is fully recovered, there is an opportunity the Malaysians will go on a full-on assault for the men’s doubles crown.

Malaysian pairs Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai and Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei have secured the top two seedings in this year’s event.

Goh-Lai will go up against Thai pair Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Supissara Paewsampran, who have already won the Malaysia Open title this year.

Chen-Toh, will take on Indonesian pair Rehan Naufal-Gloria Widjaja who recently claimed a silver medal at the German Open.
