Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying became the first top seeds to get knocked out this edition after losing 21-14 19-21 15-21 to Danes Mathias Christiansen and Alexandra BØje in the quarterfinals yesterday.
With the defeat, the Rio 2016 silver medallists prolong their unfortunate run of not making a semifinal since the Perodua Malaysia Masters 2020, having fallen at the last eight stage in four of five tournaments that followed.
Fourth seeds Goh Soon Huat/Lai Shevon Jemie later added to the disappointment following their three-game (21-14 14-21 19-21) loss to sixth seeds Thom Gicquel/Delphine Delrue.
