Tan-Thinaah made sure there was going to be double the excitement for fans on Sunday after they beat Chinese pair Bao Li Jing-Chao Zhi Han 21-16, 21-14.

It was an impressive performance from the Malaysians, who could have won by a bigger margin after they stormed off to a 11-2 lead in the opening game.

Chia-Soh, meanwhile, also have plenty to celebrate.

The world number four are finally back playing together again after months of experimenting with different partners following an internal reshuffle.

Chia-Soh have also now beaten Kim-Seo in back-to-back matches, having also eliminated them from the World Championships in August.

The Malaysians will now face Indonesians Fajar Alfian-Shohibul Fikri in their attempt to win the Denmark Open for the second time.
