Double heartbreak: Malaysia’s Hylo Open run ends with two three-game semi-final defeats

Malaysia's Hylo Open 2026 campaign came to an abrupt end with two consecutive three-game semi-final defeats in Saarbrucken, Germany. The national men's doubles pairing of Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King and professional mixed doubles duo Hoo Pang Ron-Pei Jing both fell short of reaching the final. Aaron-Roy King lost to Denmark's Christian Faust Kjaer-Rasmus Kjaer in a 59-minute match, while Pang Ron-Pei Jing was defeated by France's Thom Gicquel-Delphine Delrue in a more extended 70-minute contest.

Both teams' hopes of repeating their previous success at the French Open 2026, where they finished as runners-up, were also dashed.
