KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 28 (Bernama) -- National women’s doubles pair Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting began their Hylo Open 2026 campaign on a positive note by booking their place in the second round in Saarbrucken, Germany on Tuesday.

On Tuesday, women's doubles pairing Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting began their Hylo Open campaign in Saarbrucken, Germany, with a strong win. The pair, ranked 27th in the world, defeated England's Abbygael Harris-Estelle van Leeuwen 21-12, 21-17 in the opening round at the Saarlandhalle. They will face Hong Kong's eighth seeds, Yeung Nga Ting-Yeung Pui Lam, in the second round.
