KUALA LUMPUR – It will be an all-Malaysian showdown in the mixed-doubles final at the Swiss Open, as Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei and Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie triumphed in the semi-finals earlier this morning.
In the match at St Jakobshalle in Basel, Tang Jie-Ee Wei, ranked ninth in the world, cruised into the final with a convincing straight-sets win, 21-16, 21-12, over their opponents from Chinese Taipei, Ye Hong-wei-Lee Chia-hsin.
The momentum continued with world number 14s Soon Huat-Shevon, as they powered through their semi-final with a commanding 37-minute triumph over Dutch opponents Robin Tabeling-Selena Piek, sealing their spot in the final with a 21-18, 21-16 win.
The coming final will be the third showdown between the two national pairs, who previously clashed at the 2023 Korea Open and the 2023 Japan Masters, with each pair securing a win.
The final between the two pairs is scheduled for tonight. – March 24, 2024
