Malaysian mixed doubles duo Hoo Pang Ron-Lai Pei Jing made a strong start to their French Open 2026 campaign by defeating China's Gao Jia Xuan-Wu Meng Ying 14-21, 21-15, 21-15 in 46 minutes. They will now face Taiwan's Liu Kuang Heng-Hsu Yin-Hui in the second round, who had previously upset Thailand's fifth seeds Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Supissara Paewsampran.
Conversely, Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie were out early, unable to capitalize on their opening game win against Germany's Marvin Seidel-Thuc Phuong Nguyen, losing the next two games 15-21, 20-22.
Meanwhile, Ong Xin Yee-Carmen-Carmen Ting advanced to the second round after overpowering their Malaysian counterparts Margot Lambert-Camille Pognante 21-11, 21-12. An all-Malaysian final could feature Ong Xin Yee-Carmen-Carmen Ting should national women's doubles top pair Pearly Tan-M Thinaah defeat Turkish pair Bengisu Ercetin-Nazlizan Inci in their opening round match.
