KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia are assured of at least one men's doubles semi-finalist at the French Open after Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun set up an all-Malaysian quarter-final showdown with Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik on Friday.

World No. 11 Wei Chong-Kai Wun booked their place in the last eight after overcoming Japan's eighth seeds Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi 25-23, 21-14 in 41 minutes at Arena Grand Paris on Thursday.

The Malaysians held their nerve in a closely fought opening game before taking control of the second to secure their second consecutive victory over the former world champions.

Having lost their first two meetings since 2022, Wei Chong-Kai Wun have now levelled their head-to-head record at 2-2, following their victory over Hoki-Kobayashi at last year's Malaysia Masters.
