Malaysian mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei have etched their names into the history books by winning the 2026 Indonesia Masters title today. In a thrilling final at the Istora Senayan, the duo defeated a top-seeded pair from China in straight sets, showing incredible chemistry and tactical discipline. This victory marks the first time a Malaysian mixed doubles team has ever won this specific World Tour Super 500 event.

The pair’s journey to the final was marked by a series of hard-fought matches against higher-ranked opponents, proving that they have matured into a world-class unit.
