Top seeds Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei made it to the Australian Open quarter-finals, along with men’s doubles pairs Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun and Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin.
Chen-Toh had skipped two tournaments prior to this Super 500 event due to a shoulder injury suffered by Chen, but the shuttler looked to be back at his best by combining with Toh to great effect.
