For the first time at this level, Malaysia bagged three of the five titles on offer. Only China, Japan, Korea and Indonesia had managed to claim three or more titles at Super 500 tournaments and above.
The first breakthrough came in mixed doubles, where Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei showed grit and belief to come from behind against Mathias Christiansen/Alexandra Boje. After dropping the opening game, the world champions tightened their play and lifted their intensity to seal a 15-21 21-17 21-11 win, becoming the first Malaysian mixed pair to lift the Indonesia Masters.
“We didn’t want to miss the chance to be champions. These opportunities don’t come easy,” said Chen. “But this is a good sign for us as a pair, now we just want to keep working on getting better.”
