KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 4 Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei’s China Open campaign came to a halt in the quarter-finals after falling 21-19, 21-15 to China‘s Guo Xin Wa-Chen Fang Hui on Friday.
It was a disappointing result for the Malaysians, who came into the match with a 2-0 head-to-head advantage over the world No. 9, having beaten them twice last year.
The defeat also ended Tang Jie-Ee Wei’s hopes of reaching a third successive semi-final on the World Tour, following back-to-back last-four appearances at the Indonesia Open and Japan Open.
