China swept the doubles events at the Celcom Axiata Malaysia Open 2019, with Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong continuing their incredible victory streak for their third straight title this year – their 15th from 21 tournaments overall.
Chen Qingchen/Jia Yifan and Li Junhui/Liu Yuchen bagged the women’s doubles and men’s doubles titles respectively.
Wang Yilyu and Huang Dongping were one of only five pairs to beat Zheng and Huang all through 2018 – their last encounter, at the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals, had resulted in the challengers upsetting the favourites in a three-game thriller.
