The fourth seeded pair denied Taiwanese duo, Chiu Hsiang Chieh-Lin Xiao Min to clinch the Super 300 title at their home ground, 21-12, 21-8, in a one-sided final that lasted 30 minutes at the Tian-mu Arena, University of Taipei.

A series of unforced errors by their opponents gave the advantage to Tang Jie-Ee Wei who enjoyed a five-point lead at 11-6 in the first game and were in complete control after, winning 21-12.

The world No 19 duo got off to an excellent start in the second game as they raced to a 5-0 lead and overwhelmed Hsiang Chieh-Xiao Min, ranked 50th in the world, with their sublime attacking display winning the game 21-8 and the title.

Tang Jie-Ee Wei, who formed a partnership late last year, showed great promise as they took nearly two months to taste their first success when they bagged the Iran International Challenge 2023 title, beating compatriots Hoo Pang Rong-Teoh Mei Xing 21-19, 21-15, in early February.

The Malaysians then secured their maiden World Tour title at the Orleans Masters 2023 in France as they beat another Taiwanese pair, Ye Hong Wei-Lee Chia Hsin, 21-19, 21-17, last April.

Today’s victory saw Tang Jie-Ee Wei end a 19-year-drought for Malaysia’s mixed doubles pairs to step onto the podium after Koo Kien Keat-Wong Pei Tty last won it for the country in the 2004 edition.

Tang Jie-Ee Wei pocketed US$16,590 (RM77,560) following their win today while the runners-up, Hsiang Chieh-Xiao Min, took home US$7,980 (RM37,308).

Another Malaysian pair and fifth seeds, Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun are set to do battle against second seeds, Lu Ching Yao-Yang Po Han, of Taiwan, in the men’s doubles final, to be held later today.
