KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 18 — Newly crowned mixed doubles world champions Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei had to dig deep in a tense rubber set thriller to stay alive at the China Masters 2025.
The third-seeded duo overcame Indonesia’s Jafar Hidayatullah-Felisha Alberta Nathaniel 21-13, 13-21, 21-16 in a 73-minute showdown at the Shenzhen Arena to book their place in the last eight tomorrow.
They will now play either Hong Kong’s fifth seeds Tang Chun Man-Tse Ying Suet or Danish pair Jesper Toft-Amalie Magelund in the quarterfinals.
However, professional duo and eighth seeds Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie’s journey in the Super 750 tournament came to an end as they were stunned by unseeded duo from Taiwan, Ye Hong Wei-Nicole Gonzales Chan, 6-21, 21-16, 12-21.
