And they did it in only their second tournament together.
The young Malaysians, aged just 23 and 22 respectively, stunned the world No.1s 23-21 21-16 at KFF Singapore Open 2026. Remarkably, only last week Wong and Cheng had exited their debut tournament together, the Malaysia Masters, in the opening round.
“We are really happy with the result,” said Wong post-match, smiling with the calmness of someone who had not quite processed what had just happened. “In our first tournament, we didn’t perform that well but we tried to bounce back here and we managed to do it.”
