After an underwhelming end to 2025, where they exited four of their last five tournaments before the quarterfinal stage, the Danes arrived in Kuala Lumpur with modest expectations at a venue they had only experienced once before.
Yet, at the Axiata Arena on Wednesday, the world No.11 duo produced a composed performance to beat fifth seeds Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue 21-13 17-21 21-9 in the PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2026 first round.
With it came a remarkable milestone: a 4-0 head-to-head record against the French tandem.
