Although they have reached several quarter-finals, the Malaysian number two pair are yet to win a BWF tour title. They reached the final of the Thailand Masters way back in 2020 and were in a good position to bag the title but unfortunately couldn’t.
Ong Yew Sin/Teo Ee Yi have had a steady start to the 2023 season reaching the quarter-finals stage four times and finishing inside the podium once. They reached the final of the Badminton Asia Championships and were in a pole position to lift the title. But Satwik and Chirag came from behind to win the continental title for the first time.
