BWF World Tour: Chow Mei Kuan and Lee Meng Yean Gain Momentum Ahead of Malaysia Open

Chow Mei Kuan and Lee Meng Yean, the Malaysian women’s doubles pair, have showcased their skills and gained confidence before their upcoming tournament – the Celcom Axiata Malaysia Open 2019. Their impressive performance at the Yonex-Sunrise India Open 2019 in New Delhi has set the stage for an exciting competition in their home country.

Throughout the week, Chow and Lee displayed exceptional form, overcoming tough opponents en route to the final. They defeated Hong Kong’s Ng Tsz Yau/Yuen Sin Ying, China’s Chen Lu/Xu Ya, and eighth seeds Chayanit Chaladchalam/Phataimas Muenwong in straight games. However, their most remarkable feat was their comeback against second seeds Jongkolphan Kititharakul/Rawinda Prajongjai in the semifinals. Despite trailing by a game and 14-19, the Malaysians rallied and won seven consecutive points to force a decider, which they narrowly won.

In the final, Chow and Lee demonstrated their resilience but fell short against Greysia Polii and Apriyani Rahayu, losing 21-11 and 25-23. Nonetheless, the duo remains optimistic about their performance and acknowledges the importance of enhancing their mental strength and confidence on the court.

Ranked No.17 in the BWF World Rankings, Lee and Chow are the highest-placed Malaysians. Their progress has been commendable, especially considering Lee’s early exit from the circuit due to injury in 2018. After her return, it took some time for the pair to regain their momentum. However, they made it to the semifinals of the US Open in their third tournament together and ended the year on a high note by winning the Syed Modi International in November.
