And the China open will follow this and this is what it’s all about for yet another year the HSBC bwf World Tour finals trophy brought out by one of the Malaysian Juniors that’s causing a bit of a stir Muhammad fik Isaac bin masawi was actually a quarterfinalist at the World Junior
Championships last year year looking at the order of play here for court one we’re going to be kicking it off with the mixed doubles and home pair tanan M and Li P Jing uh I’ll have a hard challenge ahead of them against world number seven Kim wano and Jong n that’ll

Chilin in what is a repeat of last year’s Japan open Final of course 10 matches happening on court one and these are the other five happening in the afternoon afternoon some big names in there Jonathan chrisy Victor axon of course lanu AST and rasos and plenty of
Action coming your way on court one here on day one of the 67th Malaysia Open and looking at the mix doubles draw Kim wanho and Jong taning live ping in section one this the top half of the draw as you can see if they win they have a round two match against some Japanese opposition yamashi inoya orena and matsutomo and also in that half of
The draw jeni way taking on Lee and will be watching that match later on as I said they can face either lus and loal or Kusha janto and kusu mawati from Indonesia as you can see BS now lit up and in action first day of the tournament and it’ll be round one and round two action for day one to and three and of course quarterfinals on Friday semi-finals on Saturday final Sunday I think everybody very excited for a brand new HSBC ewf
World Tour season outcome the players Kim wanho and Jong na followed by tanen Ming and Li P Jing had a pretty good year all in all Kim and Jun largely and this is no dis respect to them of course largely upstaged by their world championship compatriots suun J and Cha Jun but they did make it to the World Tour finals they were in group b of that
End of season event and they’ll be looking for that Target of course again this year Li Jing and tanan M didn’t have the best of 2023 and in fact even the uh tail end of it was a bit challenging for Li Jin getting ready for the coin toss
Now now that is a 2-1 lead four in line the last time they won was the Malaysian pair at the kumoto Masters in Japan but they have faced a lot of challenges let’s put it that way ire U challenges or not triumphs or trials it’s the start of a new year
And after a very short offseason which is of course what these players get roughly just over three weeks since the world tour finals closed in hango in China another fantastic end of season event that was so Kim wanho 24 years old right seventh has been as high as
Five did have a previous partner as well before John n and that was in 2017 but so far they’ve been at least steadily progressing one title and uh one runnerup finish in 2023 as I said the last time they were here in Malaysia it was a quarterfinal finish
For them so we’re going to look to better that be here till at least Friday as his partner 23y old JN n born in Soul very much sticking to that traditional mixed doubles setup Jong cleaning up at the Nets kimono patrolling that back line that has changed recently thanks to the antics of
Or the I suppose defeats I should say not antics of um xeni way hang Shong who are more of an interchangeable pair now tanan M 29 years old born in Johor down south in Malaysia and obviously as you can imagine a good showing at your home open is always Paramount it just so
Happens to be that the first opening event of this year’s season happens to be at home for them but there was 20 events 31y old life aging his uh partner who actually has is only about 80% right now cuz just recovered from two viral bouts a second um covid case for her
Ready a month ago and then a viral infection after that so she did say she’s about 80% Fitness might be in but 20 events last year in fact for time bang live paging that they finished in round one or round two Fabio Betto our umpire for this Opening
Match joined by our service judge fil sad y 20 events that was uh their run and for a well a prepare that was of course ranked in the top top 10 you can imagine the psychological pressure that puts on You by not being able to really
Get that engine up and running they did have a couple of quarterfinal appearances in the second half of the year that was in Japan and Korea and of course third at the China open as well but last year it was the first round again for them so they need a good start
The Paris qualification for them might be Out Of Reach due to the wonderful uh performances from the other big Malay mix doubles pair right now Chang Tang G and toi we but I guess the best way to approach the next four months which is the last closing part of it is just to
Win as much as you can ladies and gentlemen on my right anding Malaysia and on my left kimon and J Korea life a to serve the joh Love play so ready to get underway here came on Hope that’s that don’t reprimand from the Umpire to the coach immediately that first point
Wasn’t much of a rally to be honest but rules are rules on please welcome the technical official want to just a little bit too steep for paging but that was a good pick up by K M the middle of that rally as I said Paris qualification still very much on for while lesser
Pairs of course as you get into these last four months outside chances mathematical chances you can you get a good overview of it of course on the official bwf website but uh that window will shut in April woman single that was a bit too high came on so good at
That one leaping forward in the interception so 3-1 that was some good hustle from T mink left side service over 42 so no titles for Talan live course but I did say title and couple of runner up positions for uh Kim and Jong they won the Thailand open that was against de and
Sapi it was a great game three games that time and they were run upan and wonging the Undisputed big story of doubles last year at the German open and their world champion compatriots as I said SE and chai that was the Australian Open and that was well quite the destruction actually by
The compatriots they have also had wonderful Runner form anyway they’ve got a 5-2 lead here six two and extending that lead as well 7 two changing as I said Kim and Jong made it to the quarterfinals last year it was ferdin Ana and with Jaa in straight
Games they lost be looking to Edge ahead if they can this time of course all The Usual Suspects in action and that’s one of the great things about these super 1000 tournaments is that even on day one there are absolutely some Plum ties in all of the divisions really Good Start Victor axis
And low canu That’s a classic example of one that’s happening later on in court one but all over the draw really some amazing matchups today well that was big for Kim wanho just picked his spot nice easy pace face to this mix doubles opener thank you first the drop then the power right
Down the middle little bit of space between tanen mang and Li ping and again Kim wo finding his range mid and as we approach the First Mid game interval it has been one-way traffic for the Koreans and left that long looking 112 drifty Corner up there at the top 112 at the interval
Cot 12 seconds cot 12 seconds thank you so some early adjustments needed for Dan mang and live ping as they get back on court for the second phase of game one play no significant problems so far for Kim wanho and Jong easy kill over ping 31 so still recovering from viral
Infection she said she still has a little bit of a cough but of course has been confident enough in her [Applause] buildup 4 11 you can just hear that there are actually even is pretty early in the morning here M just past 9:00 a.m. already some di hard fans fighing into the arena
Service over 12 4 well again came back a little bit too high and paging knows it 134 just saw on the replay there that Movement by Kim wanho just soon as he could sniff an opportunity starts pushing forward 14 four [Applause] miscommunication 15 but again Kim Wan who is striking
That creating that eror finding that angle as he usually does delicate touch from kiman ho rotation John now at the back that’s what I was saying a little bit earlier about how they used to be almost a traditional way of moving forward and attacking with mixed up with the female player at the
Front the male at the back that’s kind of changed recently we just saw it just then with their interchange if you do that 10 times faster then you can get an idea of what Jam she Wayne one doing these days over 5 16 as they proved at the
World tour finals once again they are 100% interchangeable front or back while talking about them of course the world number on looking for their six consecutive Title Here in Malaysia at the mixed doues they won in 2018 2019 there was no tournament 2020 2021 but they came back strong 22 and last year
As well oh that’s a wonderful drop in over 17 well they haven’t given them anything Kim and Jong they haven’t really had to move into second gear to be honest but defense has been Stout enough 7 over 7 17 justest down 17 13 oh that was a
Wonderful move I was just about to say It’s a Wonderful rotation look at the way they get into position here brilliant and then great vision from tanan M to drop that into the left side oh was a great angle from Kim wano service over 188 and it’s the shots like
That and his General awareness that he shown in this first game and make you think that well this first game pretty much a formality now for them tan and Li in all honesty going to be a hard push to just make up the deficit right now 198
19 little touch in by JN n and finding good reward from the back court as well 99 not that Time 2 15 19 last ditch constellation points perhaps in this first game game point 15 11 please that was much better that downward angle from tanan M 1119 was also aimed at a very difficult area right in front of Jong Len forced her into that body defense which was wide
That was a wonderful tumble off the net cord so nine game points after just 14 minutes game and they didn’t need more first game won by and 211 that one going long good solid output from them and much to think about for M PA two second two second Fore P 20 seconds one 20 Seconds second game lble Someone caught for game two and the Koreans the South [Applause] great start from T KN hitting into the drift now looks of it taking a lot more initiative in their attack of that first point [Applause] two [Applause] love over one two so Kim one J are going to have to watch out for that top left corner both pairs now wide sideways up there it’s over 31 save short that’s a great rally first really developed rally that we’ve actually seen Li P little bit more commanding at the net
Can just see a moving forward there just doing enough to Rattle Kim W hope that’s our longest rally so far 27 shots two thank You two four well that is great vision from live Beijing really picked it up in this second game look at her she’s absolutely all over that pretty much as soon as it leaves the racket okay yeah I think it’s you can do it with yeah Okay yes yeah thank you 52 good chance here for Talon light to build on this three-point [Applause] lead great cross from again 3 five oh yes there have been a few more errors coming from the Malayan side but you cannot deny that effect and that’s what Kim Wan
Has been bringing ringing right from the offset Serv over 6 three little bit nervous than challenges called out unsighted so our first challenge of the day from the serve in well spotted T can man 7 three it’s good to see them fighting for every point just snatched at that one ping as
I said psychologically very heavy toall that had to process and deal with from 2023 they have very high standards for themselves tan and L good in control of that point over 84 challenges service over 58 oh this is is an important service for Kim and Jong then get a couple points off this cut that deficit down to one good all over the place that would have been an incredible shot it’s over 9 five hit the tape but positionally Kim and Jong
Little bit six and seven there they were really quite stretched on this right Side 9 five this great change of Direction by wanho oh that’s wonderful from panan mink 10 five so second mid game interval R reversal so far both pairs struggling with this one side of the court on the bottom of your Screen definitely preferring that top end 115 interal so 115 up better start for the Malaysians in the second 20 seconds one 26 12 [Applause] 11 so back on court for part two of game two 115 and a little bit of five as you can see in that’s Malaysian huddle bman
Razak the Mi Double’s coach a little bit more animate now that they seem to be getting some rewards service over 61 they’re not too far behind Kim and Jong good burst of points here being good dead Great Rally and a great winner over 12 six Both pass moving well in that rally keeping it very flat as well over 7 12 [Applause] late take by Kim one ho and that was absolute sitter for Liin possibly she couldn’t believe it’s took that too Late still had one eye on him when she was taking that shot great movement from the Koreans 9 12 look at this as Kim wanho sets himself up Jong n getting into position so important to have that understanding wonderful just has such a fluid action K home makes it look like
It’s it’s a training shop just look at the angle and the speed both of those Drives two points back now again great combination knew exactly where she needed to be to finish that off Yeah one point Back 11 well they needed to stop that run of points Sil that could have tied 11 it’s much tighter now sh they can adapt to this weaker side of the Court relatively weaker side of the Court mistake there by P Jing down to one point 12 13 like turn the shot of
First thing thank you again look at the angle on that from J and that’s the one that ties it up right place right time right shot wonderful movement Again by Kim and Chong mistake again by tanen Ming they’re beginning to lose their grip after a good solid lead thank
You tan and Li going to have to up that anti once again almost they going to kick off 2024 with yet another first round exit have to make these next few points work for them his snakes creeping in 15 13 Good defense by J L and then jumps in findes that in the corner 16 13 well first game and for the first half of this game it really was about Kim wanho ready not just in defense but also picking out those angles crosscourt going long get ready but now it’s j that
Stepped up to the four and really won them this lead there she’s again darting Around the Net this great change of variation CH couldn’t pull it off in the end 14 16 did I not mention that Dr n’s a very expressive player she is late wonderful Crouch defense has been called

Two service over 16 17 yes what’s important here of course is to not overthink these next three or four points because if they do and any mistake comes from it then of course Kim and Jong just going to be edging closer to good opening win oh what a shot by Kim
