PETALING JAYA: It’s been four years since Malaysia tasted success at the All-England when Lee Chong Wei bagged his fourth crown in 2017.

In fact, the now-retired Chong Wei is the only shuttler to have won in the world’s oldest badminton tournament since 2010 which speaks volumes about the sorry state of Malaysian badminton.

But these players especially the seniors know very well that this could be their best chance to etch their names as the first-ever mixed doubles champions from Malaysia. The return of the Indonesians after a long hiatus including world No. 1 Kevin Sanjaya-Marcus Fernaldi as well as Japan’s No. 5 and defending champions Hiroyuki Endo-Yuta Watanabe and Takeshi Kamura-Keigo Sonoda will make their task a lot harder.The 22-year-old has been sluggish since the start of the year and the “Grand Slam of badminton” provides him with the best platform to regain his confidence and the trust from fans.

But he has tough hurdles ahead and if he makes it to the last eight, Japan’s world No. 1 Kento Momota will be waiting.
