Denmark Open 2025: Chen–Toh Fall Short in Semi-Final

Malaysia’s top mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei will have to wait longer to end their title drought this season after bowing out in the semi-finals of the Denmark Open 2025 at the Jyske Bank Arena earlier today.

The reigning world champions fought valiantly but eventually fell to the world’s top-ranked Chinese duo, Jiang Zhen Bang and Wei Ya Xin, in a gripping three-game contest that lasted 65 minutes, ending 17-21, 21-18, 18-21.

After a slow start in the opening game, Tang Jie and Ee Wei regrouped impressively in the second, showing composure and tactical precision to level the score and force a decider.

However, in the deciding game, a few unforced errors at crucial moments proved costly as the Chinese pair capitalized on every opportunity to seal the match 21-18, denying the Malaysians a place in Sunday’s final.

The result also served as revenge for Jiang and Wei, who lost to Chen-Toh in the 2024 BWF World Championships final in Paris last August. This time, the Chinese duo showed greater control under pressure, showcasing why they currently hold the world’s No. 1 ranking.

For Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei, the defeat marks another near miss in their search for a BWF World Tour title this season. Their best finish in 2025 so far was a runner-up spot at the China Masters, with their last World Tour triumphs coming in Korea Open 2024, Orleans Masters 2023, and Taiwan Open 2023.
